H03 Highlights does what it says!

Garnier Olia Highlights, H03 for brunettes does what it says - highlights dark hair! I have thick dark hair and it can literally take hours for my hair to develop in the salon. This worked great on my almost black hair, creating beautiful Carmel highlights without damaging it and not brassy. Will for sure be using it again.

Love it!!!

My hair was almost 2 different shades of brown and mostly gray. When I say that this Hair Color ( Platinum Black ) is true to its word I would be an understatement. Full coverage of gray and just an unbelievable shade of Black!!! I have tried so many other different brands before and either the color looked dull and turned my gray hairs orange or didnt cover at all. I definitely recommend this brand!!

Simple. Easy. Beautiful!

Garnier Olia 10.0 is my goto hair color. Reason why is that is has NO Ammonia to damage my already thinning hair. It’s easy %26 simple to do. Just follow the instructions. Lately, it’s been kinda difficult to find this color in my local Walmart but it can be ordered thru Walmart App.

Ammonia-free hair dye cream with vegetable oils

The paint contains oils, so it must be washed off thoroughly. Sometimes twice, so that the hair is not greasy. Instead, the paint perfectly covers gray hair and does not dry the skin. Hair after this dye has a natural look and is soft. I am 48 years old and have a lot of gray hair. I use color 5. It is close to my natural color. I use paint twice a month. I have long hair.

Jus as Great as Madison Reed

I use Madison Reed 4NN dark Brown but honestly I love this better . I purchased the Garnier Olia Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color, 4.0 Dark Brown and I feel it is in comparison with MR product . It makes my hair silky smooth with the conditioner enclosed in the pkg . I'll continue to buy it n save $21 each box I buy n don't have to pay for shipping. I like the shampoo n conditioner %26 the gloves in the box I only have to leave it on for 20 minutes instead of 40 minutes with MR. I do my own hair every 6 weeks to cover gray It's lasted 5.5 weeks already Yes I'll continue to buy this N buying it Walmart is convenient 😊

Love the product, however Walmart meets work!

I love the product. I have dark hair with some gray, I use Olia for coverage and it does a great job! My complaint is with Walmart, every time I order hair dye from Walmart...is it customary that every dye box is crushed? It never fails every hair dye box I receive from Walmart looks as if its been stomped on and crushed. I'm not sure what happens to these boxes and why they look as such but it's concerning. It would be appreciated if there was some quality control and these damaged items were not sent out in consumers' orders.

Disappointed with the “black” color

Garnier Olia Oil Powered 3.11 Darkest Platinum Brown Permanent Hair Color is clearly not an accurate description for the hair color. Black is a better description. I was excited to dye my hair dark brown and get my hair back to a closer color to my natural hair color. What I ended up with is black with some other hues. My hair also dried out and was not glossy or shiny. More than likely the wrong color was packaged in the box. I've used Olia before and has a pleasant outcome, it was just disappointing this time.

Not the best

So I don’t wanna say it doesn’t work at all. Because it does give you a pink tint to the darkest part of your hair. Mind you my hair is super blonde not bleach but super blonde so I figured I would have a pretty light pink tint to it when I was done. Only the underneath took which was the darkest part of my hair. So if you’re going over super blonde and you actually wanted more dramatic look I would go with the dark rose gold not the medium. But getting a hold of Dan year to complain is absolutely ridiculous they are never in their office even during business hours. So I don’t want to say it doesn’t work at all.

ToTal fail

This is for the light natural auburn. I dye my hair often, specifically this shade. However, I usually use the $3 boxes. I think the brand is colorsilk..? Not sure. But that brand was sold out so I tried this one. This one is $4 more per box, so I had high expectations and actually thought my hair would be more red than I wanted. I use 2 boxes. My hair is light brown and takes to color pretty well. First pic is before, then during, after while wet, then dry. I thought my hair would be red red, but I honestly can't even really tell a difference. The $3 boxes definitely color better. One thing I noticed is my roots still look brown and untouched. The $3 option always color my roots just fine, no issues. The smell of this dye is great. No harsh chemical smell and easy to use. It's not as watery/runny as the other, cheaper brands. Unfortunately, I feel like this was a fail and will not be purchasing again as it didn't do much. I will stick to my regular, cheap brand for now

Not happy with colour or condition it left my hair

I tried this & Inam dissatisfied. I have used various hair colour brands and have been able to find a colour that I am happy with finished results. This gave me a reddish hue & when I colour all other times my hair has felt soft. My hair also became knotted and hard to manage. Never happened before. My ends are ragged & not smooth. Hairdressers comment about how soft my hair is when I get a cut. I have been colouring my own hair for about 15 years and have always found my hair condition to be soft & manageable. I am disappointed & will have to take steps to bring my hair to it's usual state.
