Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Colour - Iced Chocolate

Garnier Olia is a permanent hair color, meaning the color will not wash out. It will gradually fade over time due to washing and environmental factors, and new hair growth will appear. Typically, you'll need to reapply for root touch-ups every 4-6 weeks.

Garnier Olia is formulated with an oil-powered, ammonia-free blend designed for optimal scalp comfort. However, individual sensitivities vary. It is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each use to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction.

Yes, you can use Garnier Olia on previously colored hair. The final color result may vary slightly depending on your current hair color and condition. If your hair is very dark, the Iced Chocolate shade might appear more subtle. For best results, ensure your hair is in good condition.

A patch test (also known as a skin allergy test) involves applying a tiny amount of the mixed hair dye product to a discreet area of your skin (e.g., behind the ear or inner elbow) 48 hours before full application. It's crucial because it helps identify if you have an allergic reaction to any ingredients in the dye, which can develop over time even if you've used hair dye before.

Yes, Garnier Olia 4.15 Iced Chocolate is specifically formulated to provide 100% grey coverage. For very stubborn greys, ensure thorough saturation of those areas during application and strictly follow the recommended development time.

No, Garnier Olia is ammonia-free, which means it does not have the strong, pungent chemical odor often associated with traditional hair dyes. Its oil-based formula typically has a much milder, sometimes pleasant, scent.

Ensure hair was dry and clean (not freshly washed) before application. Make sure to saturate all sections of hair, especially grey areas, thoroughly with the mixture. Apply enough product and adhere strictly to the recommended development time. For resistant greys, apply to those areas first.

While Olia is designed for optimal scalp comfort, individual sensitivity varies. If you experience severe irritation, rinse immediately. Always perform the mandatory 48-hour patch test before each use to check for potential allergic reactions. If irritation persists after rinsing, consult a medical professional.

Although Olia's oil-powered formula aims to improve hair quality, post-color care is crucial. Use the provided conditioner generously. Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask into your routine once a week. Ensure you're using color-safe shampoos and conditioners that are moisturizing.

Immediately wipe off any dye stains from skin or surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a small amount of non-gel toothpaste or specialized hair dye remover can be effective on skin. Always wear gloves during application and cover surfaces with old towels or newspapers.
