If, however, my head and scalp throb again after using Olia a second time, I will not be re-purchasing even if the shade is pretty.Īll in all, for hair that is pronominally grey, I absolutely do not recommend Olia permanent hair color. However, after receiving a lot of compliments on my current shade, I decided to give Olia's hair color another try. I initially ordered the hair colors on Amazon's Subscribe and Save Auto delivery service but because we were so sorely disappointed by the texture/formula of the product and its overall performance, I cancelled my subscriptions. For me, however, the colors did leave a really pretty wash of pink as I had hoped they would. Maybe the formula I received was updated or different than that of the critical reviews I read. I was hesitant to try the pink shades I ordered (7.20 and 8.22) because of critical reviews-here on Amazon- which stated the colors didn't show up pink at all.

Overall, complete saturation of thick, long, and/or wavy/curly hair requires way more boxes than I have even needed before (with other brands).

I experienced throbbing pain on my scalp (which I have never experienced with any other hair dye-at home or salon-only-applied by myself or by seasoned professionals. Even after several shampoos immediately after dying my hair with colors 6.0, 7.20, and 8.22 my scalp was still sensitive to the formulation three days later. One box was not enough product to completely saturate short, chin-length, predominately grey/greying hair. (reference: old go-to hair color: 3-4 boxes. Need more boxes to completely saturate thick, healthy, naturally wavy hair which reaches past the waist. Wasteful - I could not get all the colorant out of the bottle and into a plastic hair coloring bowl Formula is thin and runny making it difficult to ensure even coverage (I use a hair coloring brush purchased at a licensed-professionals-only beauty supply store ) I went back to my go-to box hair color to color my mom's hair a couple weeks ago and immediately noticed how much richer our old favorite's color is. After about two weeks, her hair color looked very brassy. For hair that is predominately grey I would not recommend Olia - my mom chose 3.11 and we noticed the color visibly faded after each wash. + Cheaper per box than other ammonia-free at home hair color kits I've been using - if you have fine hair, Olia might work well for you + Relatively easy to find in convince stores though the options/ range of colors can be limited at physical stores - hence my order from Amazon (a wide range of colors/choices) + Pink shades - for an ammonia-free, at home box kit I haven't seen this color range offered by other brands. And was greatly surprised when I was told a master hair dresser (19+ years experience and owner of a high-end salon in the city of LA) complimented my work several times.Īfter having colored my hair (nearly three months ago) and my mom's hair (about four months ago) here are my impressions. I have colored my own hair and friends and family's hair for over 10 years. Side note: I'm comfortable and confident when it comes to coloring hair at home. I am looking to replace my long-time go-to because it's become increasingly difficult to find in stores. I was looking for an anomie-free permanent hair color that is comparable to the brand that I've been buying for several years now.
