Garnier Olia - After

Yesterday, I dyed my hair at home - brave, right!?  I was very nervous about it, but it turned out great, and I'd definitely do it again!

I used Garnier Olia, which was really easy to use - just a case of mixing the developer and colourant in the provided pot, giving it a shake and applying it. There were lots of nice touches which made it easier, such as a pop-out hole in the box to stand the applicator bottle in so it didn't spill, and the pointed spout on the applicator which made it a lot more simple to put on.

My hair, afterwards, is much more uniform in colour - the very bright highlights are now the colour they should be, and the dark section at the bottom of my hair has lifted. I have done a video to show my new hair.

My hair feels surprisingly manageable and was so easy to straighten afterwards - I'd been worried that the condition of my hair would deteriorate, but in actually feels loads better, like I'd had a hair treatment in!

Garnier Olia - Before

This week, I shall mostly be dying my hair.... at home! Eek!

I have always had my hair coloured in the salon, which can get pricey, and have been in awe of friends that just whip on a colour at home and it looks fab. Over the past two years I have gradually been going from black to blonde - and I like the place it is at the moment, apart from the pieces which are still quite dark in contrast.

Just as I was exploring options, I was asked if I would like to try the new at-home dye from Garnier - Olia, which seemed to be perfect timing, so I took them up on the offer!

It's the first oil-powered hair dye, which has no ammonia, and it meant to visibly improve the quality of the hair. Sounds good! 

This is my hair at the moment - I've gone for the Blonde (8.0) dye in the hopes that my darker areas underneath will lift a couple of shades to blend in a little better with the rest of my hair.

I have just done my patch test so expect 'after' pictures at the beginning of next week!
