Hi everyone!
So, recently Crowdtap sent me a sample of Garnier Olia permanent hair color in the color number 5.3, which is Medium Golden Brown. I had not used this hair color before, so I was really excited to try it out, because the box stands out on store shelves and it is the only hair dye that is made with an exclusive 60% oil blend, with natural flower oils, it has no ammonia in it which means a more pleasant scent during application, and it promises that it gives you brilliant color and visibly healthier hair that is hydrated, silky, and 3x shinier. Time for a healthy change - for your hair! :)
I really liked the non-drip formula and that it has a nice flowery scent. I also liked that it didn't stain my skin. The application was a little bit more difficult because the shape of the applicator bottle made it easy to slip out of my hand because of the awkward shape and slippery gloves, and it was also difficult to get the rest of the color to come out of the bottle, so I had to open it up to get it out. I definitely recommend two boxes if you have longer hair than shoulder-length hair, because I ran out of color quickly. When rinsing the color out of my hair, the hair already seemed more smooth and conditioned. After the hair was dry it felt really soft and silky, definitely healthier, and I loved the shine.
Here's a before picture (so you can get an idea of what my hair color looked like to begin with) and an after shot. My hair was pretty light with a coppery tone and highlights, so the end result was not as dark as on the hair color box.
I really recommend that you guys try out this hair color, it is very gentle on hair, and available in many great shades!
