GarnierOlia Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color, 8.31 Medium Golden Blonde

Works great, easy to apply at first I thought the shade wasn't right, the color turned out perfect!

I absolutely LOVE this hair color, but unfortunately, it’s been hard to find lately. I color my hair way too often, and in the past, it used to damage my hair. After my sister, a cancer survivor, recommended I avoid ammonia in hair products, I switched to Garnier Olia Ammonia-Free Permanent Hair Color, and I haven’t looked back.I’ve always had strawberry blonde hair, and I mix this with the Garnier Hair Color Olia Ammonia-Free Brilliant Color Oil-Rich Permanent Hair Dye in 8.0 Medium Blonde. The result is perfect every time—rich, vibrant color without the harsh chemicals. I just wish it were easier to find in stores! Highly recommend if you're looking for a gentle, yet effective hair color.

I use to be able to buy this color at the grocery stores in my area but not anymore. I love the color not too light or dark.

I really love the way the color stays, the way the hair dye covers all the gray and whites without drying my hair. Olia is the only hair dye that I will use , and as long as they keep making the light natural auburn, I will keep on buying Olia ! Great product!

It’s a light golden color, great colorThe pearl is too lightMedium gold is too dull

Beautiful hair color & it made my hair soft unlike other hair dyes

It has been a little over a week since I used the dye and so far my hair hasn't fallen out. I relaxed it 2 weeks before dying. My hair is naturally dark reddish brown but the red isn't very noticeable so I wanted to use the light Auburn color to enhance the red. The color is more noticeable, closer to the dye swatch on dark brown but it's more copper. I have thick hair and the dye left it feeling kinda dry and hard so I followed the conditioner with leave in conditioner and olive oil.My main comment would be on the dye instructions. It says to do roots first THEN the rest of the hair. I smoothed a bit over the length of my hair as I did my roots but my roots still came out WAY brighter than the rest of my hair. The color subsided a tad after the next wash but it's still clear that my roots are brighter. Not distracting or ugly but I can tell. I'm not sure if this is because I had relaxed my roots. Someone said that relaxer makes hair more porous so it absorbs color more readily; I combatted this by only leaving it on my hair for 25mins but I guess that didn't help. Next time I'll wait 3 weeks after I perm.Another comment I have is that it took out my perm a bit. Made it a bit kinkier. Overall, nice dye. Relatively gentle. Scalp itched a tad for a few days.

First off, I'm definitely not an expert, but I've dyed my hair at least 30 times.Right when my box was delivered (came with a packing bubble and was not damaged) I went to dye my hair.I had about 5 inches of dark blonde roots and the rest bleached blonde back from January.It took about 45 minutes, root to tips, to fully coat my hair thoroughly. I waited 20 minutes after I finished for it to set, since my roots have been covered for 30 min already. I followed the directions for rinsing and conditioning and I'd say the final color is interesting.My roots are like a rosy orange. I'm assuming this dye has some kind of lightener in it, otherwise I wouldn't have an orange hue. Hair between the roots and ends got some rosiness, and the ends are pretty light.The dying process was the fastest I've ever done, it could be from the consistency of the dye or partly my long hair is easier to dye than when I had short hair.I barely smelled the dye through the whole process.I could have waited even longer to see if the result would be darker (I used to wait an hour after twisting my hair in a bun just to make sure) but I chose to do this before work so the standard time had to do.All in all I like the color that's on the bleached part of my hair, but I really don't like the orange. That's why I'm only rating 4 stars.I'm going to try a blue/purple shampoo to offset the orange, and if I still have a weird root color I'm going to try the rose quartz dye next.With the pictures, the first is my original hair, then pics of the gradient and roots.
