Surprisingly good result

9 years ago
This product had a lot to deal with - 6 months growth of dark blond/grey roots, three inches of a light brown colour which ended up dark brown on my hair, then about 7 inches of light blond to the ends. So given all that and my previous experience of home colouring (ditchwater green 3 days before my daughter's wedding) I was not expecting much from the Garnier Olia Golden Light Blonde but it really did deliver. The product box doubles up a stand which I found useful and it really didn't take long to apply to the roots and brown section, thanks to the easy to use applicator. The product had a nice fragrance and didn't irritate my sensitive scalp at all. When I rinsed it I managed to get it in my eye but even that wasn't an issue! I am so pleased with the results, my hair feels soft, it's shiny and the dark blond/grey/brown section had blended nicely. I will definitely use the Garnier Olia again and happily recommend it!

Doesn't live up to expectations.

Im always very wary about trying new hair dyes as I love my beach blonde long hair and have had experiences in the past that have damaged this, however on first impressions of the pack I was impressed. I would usually buy two packs of dye as my hair is rather long, however the box was huge compared to others I have used before. Unfortunatly though, it was just excess packaging and was not enough for my hair. I was very attracted to the no ammonia as when dying your hair often, the chemicals can really take its toll on your ends. It also claimed to visibly improve the quality of hair due to the 60% of oils in the ingredients so I gathered I would be killing two stones in one. On opening the box the large size continued with applicator and ingredients. There is a separate applicator bottle to mix the ingredients which I felt was unique but really just a waste, not recycling friendly at all. There is a lot of conditioner compared to usual so this was a big plus and I really liked the instructions, they were really clear, fun and eye-catching. There were quite a few good things that I found when using the product, these were: - Very easy to set up. - Slow release of the hair dye from the nozzle meaning less spillage - Nozzle is nice and small to use as a hair separator - No itching or chemical smell due to the ammonia - Gloves were thick and fitted to hands which is normally a big issue with other brands - £1 off voucher As you can see I had a pretty good experience when applying, however when I had washed and dried my hair I was not impressed. It had a very greasy feel to my hair for over a week after and the colour was a lot darker then it states on the box (I had light blonde hair before). Unfortunately, the unique design has clearly had an affect on the quality and altered the performance of the hair dye and I would not recommend and wouldn't try again.

    Not worth it!!

    9 months ago
    I’ve been bleaching my hair for 5 years now, and finally decided to grow my hair out the past year. I am naturally blonde but wanted to go slightly blonder. I compared to the box chart, and it should have done wonders and gone to the level of blonde I wanted without bleach, as I found bleaching was too much for me now. Used the camera feature as well which showed I should be a brighter blonde!! After applying, I did think it did not look different but gave it time until I washed it out. I blow dried it and it has made no difference to the lightness I wanted. My roots are now more orange and the leftover bleach on the ends are now darker?! Maybe I shouldn’t have put it on my ends - but I wanted everything to blend seamlessly. I have not had this, and to be honest, I might as well have picked up a box of ginger hairdye and not noticed a difference to what I have now!! Definitely won’t be using this again.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    don’t waste your money

    this did NOT work.. I bought it to top up my roots and thought it would help them look more like the rest of my hair.. I’m left with NO lightening at all and some random spots of a strange colour. DO NOT BUY!

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Ashy/grey toned result

    I had wanted a warmer GOLD colour, but it came out really quite ashy, if not grey, this really was not my goal. Which is a shame because normally I am quite happy with Okia as a brand

    No, I do not recommend this product.
