Review on πŸ”³ Garnier Olia Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color, Darkest Platinum (Packaging May Vary) by Jill Lee

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I love Garnier hair dye for my gray resistant hair

I have attached photos and videos from my personal experience and some tips and bugs. I ordered 2 packs so I have the right color when it comes time for a touch up. I want to start by liking the overall color. Gives great depth and shine. I have a significant amount of gray hair on top of my head and it usually can't be covered up with other brands that I've tried before using this particular color. I tried the same brand but in a light neutral brown and instead it was too light and looked like a light chestnut copper brown (pre-shampoo purple). I do not want it. So I chose a darker color. It doesn't smell strongly of chemicals like some people have when you literally want to jump out the window for some fresh air! In terms of time, the preparation for coloring to the desired color (which takes longer because of gray hair) took about an hour. The bottom line is that I love the color and wish I had found it sooner. This covers all gray hair and makes my hair soft and odor free! I love it! However, it would have taken less time, but I hit a snag with the packaging. Instructions were pushed in (almost as if they had been returned or poorly packaged). Main issues: There was only one glove, both the applicator and developer flowed out quickly when opened, and I was left with 50% or less of each product. Luckily, I had a second box and had to use its contents and a different glove to dye my hair. Basically I paid twice as much for a box. I can only surmise that it was the different temperatures or storage of these that caused them to react that way. Despite the failure, I still highly recommend this product, especially for those with gray hair!
