Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Color Platinum Black 2.11 — Ammonia-Free, 60% Oil Formula

Garnier Olia 2.11 Platinum Black is an ammonia-free permanent hair dye that uses a 60% oil-powered formula to deliver vivid platinum-black color, full gray coverage, and up to three times shinier-looking hair.

This at-home hair color kit combines natural flower oils—sunflower and camellia—into an oil-forward developer system that helps carry pigments deep into the hair shaft while avoiding ammonia, silicones, and parabens. The kit contains a developer applicator bottle, a colorant tube, an after-color conditioner, disposable gloves, and clear instructions so you can achieve salon-inspired results at home. One to two boxes generally cover short to medium hair; long hair usually needs two to three boxes.

How does Garnier Olia create long-lasting color without ammonia?

The formula replaces ammonia with a high-oil blend that helps open the hair cuticle gently and transport pigment effectively. Oils also help the hair retain moisture during coloring, which can improve the look and feel of the finished shade.

• 60% oil-powered developer blends with colorant to deliver pigments deep into hair.
• Sunflower and camellia oils nourish during the coloring process.
• No ammonia — designed for gentler odor and less aggressive cuticle lift.

Will Garnier Olia 2.11 cover my gray hair completely?

Yes — this permanent shade is formulated to provide 100% gray coverage when used according to directions. The combination of developer and intense pigment targets resistant gray fibers for even, uniform results.

• Permanent dye system for long-lasting coverage.
• Designed to fully cover gray from root to tip.
• Apply to roots first, then lengths and ends for consistent color.

What finish and shine can I expect from the platinum black shade?

Olia-treated hair appears hydrated and silky with up to three times the shine compared to uncolored, unwashed hair. The oil-rich formula smooths the surface of the strand, enhancing reflectivity and a healthier-looking finish.

• Visible increase in shine and smoothness after coloring.
• Blue-reflective cool black tone for a modern platinum-black effect.
• Includes after-color conditioner to seal and boost softness.

How easy is application for at-home use?

The kit is prepared for straightforward home application: mix the colorant into the developer bottle, apply to roots, then distribute through lengths, wait 30 minutes, rinse, and condition. A single kit includes gloves and step-by-step instructions to simplify the process.

• Developer bottle with applicator for targeted root application.
• Step-by-step directions and included gloves to keep hands clean.
• Recommended processing time: 30 minutes, then rinse and use the included conditioner.

Who is this for: Garnier Olia 2.11 Platinum Black is designed for people with natural hair shades from medium brown to black who want a cool, blue-reflective black, full gray coverage, and a shinier finish without ammonia. It suits those who prefer a vegan, cruelty-free formula free from silicones and parabens and who want reliable permanent color at home. Choose one box for short or very fine hair, two boxes for medium to shoulder-length hair, and two to three boxes for long, thick hair. For color upkeep, pair with a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to preserve vibrancy and shine.
