FAQs
How long does the color last?
Garnier Olia is a permanent hair color, meaning it is designed to last. However, the longevity can vary based on hair type, washing frequency, and aftercare routine. It typically lasts several weeks before gradual fading occurs.
Can I use this on previously colored hair?
Yes, you can use Garnier Olia on previously colored hair. However, it's crucial to follow the specific instructions for retouching roots to avoid uneven color results. Applying to the entire head of previously colored hair can sometimes lead to darker results on the previously treated sections.
What if my natural hair color is very dark?
On very dark hair, the 3,16 Fiddle purple shade may appear as a subtle tint or a deeper, richer shade of purple or aubergine rather than a bright purple. For a more vibrant result on dark hair, a lightening process might be recommended beforehand.
Is this product suitable for sensitive scalps?
Garnier Olia is ammonia-free, which may make it gentler for some. However, it still contains chemicals that can cause reactions. It is essential to perform the 48-hour skin allergy test before each use, even if you have used similar products before.
How much product is in the box?
The box typically contains a developer bottle, a colorant tube, gloves, and a post-color conditioner. The exact quantity is sufficient for one full application on average-length hair.
What should I do if I have an allergic reaction?
If you experience any itching, redness, swelling, or burning on your scalp or skin after applying the product, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Always perform the patch test 48 hours prior to application.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color application
Ensure hair is properly sectioned and the mixture is applied evenly from root to tip. For very long or thick hair, consider using two boxes. Reapplication may be needed for best results.
Color is too dark or not as expected
Results depend on natural hair color. For significantly darker hair, pre-lightening might be necessary. Consult a professional if unsure. Remember to always perform the strand test.
Scalp irritation during application
Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Ensure you performed the 48-hour patch test prior to use. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Hair feels dry after coloring
Use the conditioner provided in the kit. Follow with moisturizing hair treatments and color-safe care products. Avoid excessive heat styling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Before Use:
- Patch Test: Always perform a skin allergy test 48 hours before applying the dye, even if you've used hair color before. Mix a small amount of colorant and developer, apply to a discreet skin area, and rinse after the recommended time. Check for any adverse reactions.
- Preparation: Gather all components from the box. Protect clothing with an old towel and wear the provided gloves. Ensure the application area is well-ventilated.
Application:
- Mix: Squeeze the contents of the colorant tube into the developer bottle. Close the applicator bottle and shake well until a smooth, creamy mixture forms.
- Apply: Part hair into sections. Apply the mixture evenly from roots to tips, working section by section. For previously colored hair, apply only to the roots first, wait 20 minutes, then apply to the rest of the hair.
- Process: Leave the color on for the time indicated in the instructions (typically 30-35 minutes).
- Rinse: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Shampoo and apply the conditioner provided in the box. Leave the conditioner on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for all hair types and textures in adults.
- May be used on previously colored hair, but results can vary. Avoid use on hair that has been recently permed or chemically straightened.
Care:
- Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to help maintain vibrancy.
- Avoid excessive heat styling, which can fade color.
- Limit washing to 2-3 times a week to preserve color.
