Garnier Hair Color Olia Ammonia-Free Brilliant Color Oil-Rich Permanent Hair Dye, 6.0 Light Brown, 1 Count (Packaging May Vary)

I switched to Garnier Olia after being a loyal Revlon ColorSilk user for years, and I’m so glad I did. I had always used Revlon’s Light Brown because it was ammonia-free and gave me reliable results. Recently, however, I started noticing an unwanted reddish tone developing, even though I hadn’t changed anything in my routine. Since I had been coloring my hair the same way for years, I can only assume the formula may have changed. I specifically wanted another ammonia-free option, so after reading the strong reviews for Garnier Olia, I decided to try the Light Brown shade. For reference, my natural hair is dark brown with some gray, and it had been about 3 months since my last color. Because of the regrowth, I chose to follow the touch-up directions instead of applying it to my full head right away. I left the color on my roots for 20 minutes, then pulled it through the ends for about 7 additional minutes. The instructions suggest 10 minutes on the ends, but I shortened it slightly because I was concerned my previously colored ends might absorb too much pigment. The formula itself was excellent—rich, creamy, and very easy to apply without dripping. It starts out white and gradually changes as it processes. The results were exactly what I hoped for: a beautiful soft light-to-medium brown with subtle dimension and highlighted tones, and most importantly, no red cast at all. It covered my grays nicely, blended beautifully with my natural color, and left my hair looking soft and healthy. While it does cost a bit more than Revlon, the improved tone and overall result make it absolutely worth it for me. I’ll definitely continue using Garnier Olia.

Covers all my grey. It’s gentle and doesn’t have much smell. Pricing is fair. Leaves my hair shiny and very natural looking. I use the light brown and it gives me light brown with lovely natural looking golden blonde streaks when I go out in the sunshine. It’s the only hair dye I will use.

I have been using this hair color for years. I have to be very careful because I’m allergic to many hair dyes. This is the best of the few that I can use. No burning. No sores. Just great hair color.

Great hair color.

I have used this for years, I like that it doesn't damage my hair, I need to refresh every 3 months or so. Easy to do yourself and doesn't break the bank - like a salon would
