Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Color — 2-Pack 2.0 Soft Black, Ammonia-Free Oil-Powered for 100% Gray Coverage & 3x Shine

Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Color is an ammonia-free, oil-powered home dye that delivers permanent, salon-quality color with 100% gray coverage and visibly shinier hair.

Built around a 60% natural oil blend of sunflower and camellia seed oils and Garnier's ODS™ delivery system, Olia is formulated to color deeply while minimizing the harsh odor and drying effect often associated with traditional ammonia dyes. The kit arrives ready-to-use with an applicator bottle/developer, colorant tube, gloves, and an after-color conditioner so you can achieve predictable results at home. Olia is vegan and Leaping Bunny certified, making it a choice for shoppers who want dependable color with a gentler ingredient profile.

How does this oil-powered formula affect hair condition?

The high oil content helps the colorant penetrate the hair strand without relying on ammonia, leaving hair feeling softer and appearing glossier after coloring. You’ll notice less stiffness and a silkier finish compared with many conventional permanent dyes.

• 60% natural oil blend (sunflower and camellia) hydrates hair during processing
• Non-drip cream texture reduces mess and delivers even coverage
• After-color conditioner restores surface softness immediately post-rinse

Will Garnier Olia cover gray hair completely?

Yes — Olia is formulated to provide full gray coverage for most users while maintaining natural-looking reflections. The permanent color molecules are designed to penetrate and deposit evenly for reliable coverage across roots and regrowth.

• Engineered for 100% gray coverage on standard gray percentages
• Permanent results that last with proper color care for vibrancy
• Suitable for both full-head coloring and targeted touch-ups

How do I use this kit safely and get the best result at home?

Follow the enclosed step-by-step instructions: mix the colorant into the developer bottle, shake until blended, and apply to dry, unwashed hair. Process for the recommended time, rinse until water runs clear, then apply the included after-color conditioner.

• Perform a patch test 48 hours before full application for sensitivity check
• Use one to two boxes for short-to-medium hair; two to three for long hair
• Pair with Garnier Fructis Color Shield products to extend color life

What shades and lifestyle benefits does Olia offer?

Olia comes in a broad palette from deep blacks and warm browns to vivid reds and blondes, so you can pick tones that suit your complexion and styling goals. The formula is free of ammonia, silicones, parabens, and phthalates, and carries a delicate floral scent for a more pleasant coloring experience.

• Wide shade range to match natural or bold color choices
• Vegan and cruelty-free certification for ethical shoppers
• Designed to reduce strong chemical odors during application

Who is this for? Garnier Olia is ideal for individuals seeking permanent at-home color that prioritizes hair feel and shine—especially people who want full gray coverage without ammonia-based smell or excessive drying. It suits first-time home dyers and experienced users aiming for long-lasting color with a softer treatment experience. If you value a cruelty-free, vegan option and prefer a non-drip cream kit with an included after-color conditioner, Olia 2.0 Soft Black in the two-count pack offers enough product for multiple applications or for covering longer hair when combined with additional boxes.
