Olia Ammonia-Free Brilliant Color Oil-Rich Permanent Hair Color, 6.3 Light Golden Brown (1 Kit) Brown Hair Dye (Packaging May Vary)

I switched to this hair dye last fall and I really love it! It’s easy to use and the color is wonderful. Plus it’s gentle on my hair and doesn’t leave it feeling dull or damaged.

I love Garnier Hair Color Olia, in the variant Golden Brown. I have naturally medium brown hair. This hair dye slightly lightens my natural color by a few shades, akin to using "Sun In." This product, however, has been very safe to repeatedly dye my hair with. I could use it every two or three weeks with no issues (although, I stick to about four weeks). However, it is also safe if you'd like to mix in "LIW pH mix." I personally used this with my dye - I added this liquid into the colorant bottle and slightly mixed it before applying the dye. This is not required; I do this as an extra step to make my hair softer and perhaps protect it more (and it is a separate purchase, just to clarify). This dye has multiple benefits. The smell is pleasant and not harsh. Additionally, I don't notice much fall out at all. I could leave this in my hair for 30-40 mins, rinse out, and my hair feels like it's in great condition (although I do use a conditioning shampoo and conditioner afterwards.) And with gray coverage? I had quite a bit of gray hair - I am in my mid 20s, so not all gray yet, but a good amount. This dye did cover most of my grays, and now it is impossible to tell that I had as much gray hair as I used to. Any drawbacks to this product? Not that I can think of! I use one box to dye my hair with, although my hair is medium length, which means if your hair is longer, you'll benefit from using two boxes. I have repurchased this product multiple times. I've been told that it's hard to tell that I'm using box dye. This is a great quality dye for the price point, but I cannot guarantee the results you'll receive if dyeing predominately gray hair. This product allows for root touch-ups or full coverage; in the latter case, you'd likely be dyeing your entire head of hair every 4-6 weeks to cover grays, while using a color-safe shampoo of your choice to extend the color.

I just received this and used it the same evening because my roots were really showing before a family dinner. The color turned out nice and shiny, but it was a little lighter than I expected. It covered most of my grays, just not 100%.

Good though you have to be extra careful around the ears and temples to ensure grays are completely covered. I do find it fades within a few weeks even though I don’t wash my hair every day.
