Garnier Olia Hair Colour Dark Brown 4.0

Garnier Olia Dark Brown 4.0 offers a rich, deep brown color with a noticeable shine. The oil-powered formula is less harsh than traditional dyes, which is a plus for those with sensitive scalps. However, the scent, while floral, can be quite strong during application. While it provides good coverage of grays, the color can fade slightly over time, requiring touch-ups. Overall, a decent at-home hair color option for a vibrant dark brown.

My previous colour:Before I dyed it, my hair had a few inches of my natural dark brown colour and the rest, past my shoulders was a very light gingery brown with some of the ends so white they almost were see-through.Was there enough dye for even coverage?I got two boxes to be safe. I have very thick curly afro 3c/4a hair that is touching my shoulder blades when stretched and had to use one box per side of my head. It was only just enough to do my whole head but everyone is different. I recently used Garnier Olia in a red shade to dye my caucasian friend's straight hair which is way past her shoulders and one box was just enough for the entire head. If you aren't sure, always get an extra one at the ready otherwise you may end up with a patchy colour.The colour/result:Overall, I was very pleased. I was looking for a brown as dark as possible without going black because black looks very fake on my skin-tone. The colour did come out black like some reviewers on other sites like Boots pointed out, but I'm still happy because I knew what I was signing up for and know it will fade over time and I wanted it as dark as possible initially. Under bright lights it does look dark brown, otherwise it looks very black. But I'm happy because it is incredibly shiny and looks healthier than it did before. This was my main reason for attempting to go back to my natural colour, though my hair is healthy, the light colour was making my hair look thinner and drier than it was.Further comments:I highly recommend not using the bottle they give you. Other reviews have pointed out it is a very cute tear drop design but incredibly hard to hold. It wouldn't say it was that hard but it definitely doesn't help when you're trying to move quickly and not drop dye everywhere. Use the gloves and apply it by hand or with a tint brush after pouring it into a hair dye mixing bowl (or one you don't mind staining). This way you can get every last drop and it is very easy to apply. It did get on my shoulders and back but came right off when I had a shower, I got a tiny drop on one of my painted walls and it isn't coming off but I have done this before and it does fade completely over time if you wipe it off the minute you get it on there.Would I recommend it?In short, yes. It smells significantly nicer than any other dye I've used before which smell strongly of ammonia. If you're particularly sensitive to those scents I definitely recommend the dye for this. It took to my whole head, even though my colour was very uneven before I dyed it, the dye gave an even shade all over without looking fake or blocky. But I'd warn that if you're looking for something make your hair dark brown, you might want to go a shade lighter otherwise you're going to get black.

Great colour and good value for money.

Excellent condition on delivery, brilliant product.

Been using this colour for many years buying from Tescos. Was pleasantly surprised to find is much cheaper on Subscribe & Save.Since finding this colour at least five years ago I have never used anything else. Much more of a natural colour than jet black. Mixing and applying is a breeze, I do use a highlighting brush when applying to hair line and roots. New shape applicator bottle means you get a better grip so no more sliding out of hands.

Best stuff ever.

This item took weeks to arrive the instructions not in English hair colour ok wouldn't purchase again
