NOT Good, Garnier!
I have a small amount of grey at my temples and roots, but it is very stubborn. I would pull it out if I didn't fear bald spots on my head. At the same time, I absolutely DESPISE coloring my hair because I realize that I am damaging it. Garnier's "Olia Oil Powered Permanent Color" seemed the perfect solution--I could cover the offensive grey without ammonia and its irritating smell and harmful side effects. Oil would permeate my hair shaft and infuse the color in a much more gentle way. I was wrong! The bottle was too large and awkward for me to work with it. I wound up using an empty professional coloring bottle from the linen closet (what were you thinking when you designed this, Garnier?). This is a nicely-scented, non-drip formula, and I used it as directed. My hair was soft, but no more soft than with Garnier's regular formula. The vivid, multi-tonal color that I normally have after coloring was missing--the shade was flat. Worse yet, grey coverage lasted less than two weeks, and that is with extremely gentle treatment of my hair (I only wash every two or three days, sleep on a satin pillowcase, deep-condition regularly, let hair air dry whenever possible, etc.). Of course, it was more costly than the regular color as well. I hope they do away with this--it simply doesn't work! — 1 month, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Yuck
I have always liked Garnier hair color, and I like formulas that are gentler on hair. I am a big fan of their bamboo line, but I can't find it much in stores anymore. Trying this seemed like a safe bet, I was wrong. The bottle was way too big for my hands, so application was awkward. The formula was okay, and not too messy. The color result was not great. I used their light red, since medium red on my natural blonde hair can be too vibrant. I made a poor choice, this color is just drab. Who knew red hair could be drab? It is just blah. If that wasn't enough, the formula has made my fine, prone to be oily hair feel gross. My hair feels extra oily, but on top of that it also feels dry! My hair has never felt this confused. Dry and oily? How does that happen? Do yourself a favor, don't try this hair color. Let's hope it goes away soon! — 1 month, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Olia Hair Color Light Cool Blonde
This is great for anyone with sensitivity to fragrance. No smell that I could detect and I can smell a smoker from several cars or houses away. Color was perfect! Highly recommend! — 1 month, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
