GarnierHair Color Olia Ammonia-Free Brilliant Color Oil-Rich Permanent Hair Dye, 1.0 Black, 2 Count (Packaging May Vary)

This dye is perfect if you're looking for a radiant color without damaging your hair. Since it's ammonia-free, the scent is mild, and application is much more pleasant, especially for me during this time of pregnancy, and it's less damaging to my condition.It leaves hair soft, shiny, and a natural ash blonde. I highly recommend it, especially if you're pregnant. You can stay beautiful and run less risk.

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 love these colours and the Olia brand that has no ammonea. The hair dye works perfect on my grey hair to get the exact colour as indicated and a darker gorgeous red on the last of my brown hair. I enjoy the cost savings and availability of the brighter more interesting colours from the US site than the CA site. For a reason unknown, the US Amazon site is the only place to find these colours. Or if in rare find I see them in the CA site the price is 5x higher. The red colours can be found at London Drugs in Vancouver, BC sometimes. The more vibrant coppers, pinks and such are never found in shops here. I appreciate and thank the seller for being able to purchase it here. I live by the border so the pick up is easy.

I use Olia Medium Blonde every month since my grays grow in so fast now...I love the color of this Olia. Problem is it washes out in about a week. It turns to a much lighter blonde...still better than gray but I would prefer the medium blonde to stay that way. Anyone using Olia and has a bad color result...don't worry it'll wash out in a weeks time. I do like no ammonia and it doesn't smell as bad as others I've used...Oh well not many good choices for those of us who color their own hair. I went once to a salon and it was expensive as heck and didn't not work well so I've been DIY for many years.

I have been using this product for several years now. I have a history of lupus and started reacting to the stronger brands of hair color that have ammonia in them. They started giving me headaches, so I started looking for something without the strong chemicals. This has fit the bill for me and has very nice color coverage. I use the medium brown and is a nice color brown. Dark brown is too dark but yet this is a deep brown that looks great.. It left my hair soft and I have a lot of gray hair.
