Full details

The Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Colour in 6.60 Intense Red is designed for adults seeking a vibrant, long-lasting red shade with excellent grey coverage. Its unique ammonia-free and vegan formula aims to leave hair looking shinier and feeling softer, while also lightening hair up to three tones.

FAQs

How long does the 6.60 Intense Red colour typically last?

Garnier Olia is a permanent hair colour, meaning the colour is designed to last until your hair grows out or is re-coloured. The vibrancy of the red shade can be maintained for several weeks with proper care using colour-safe hair products.

Is Garnier Olia 6.60 Intense Red suitable for sensitive scalps?

While Olia has a no-ammonia formula, making it potentially gentler and less irritating than traditional dyes, it is still a chemical product. Always perform a patch test 48 hours prior to use to check for any sensitivities or allergic reactions, especially if you have a sensitive scalp.

Can I use this product if I have previously coloured my hair?

Yes, you can use Garnier Olia on previously coloured hair. However, the final result may vary depending on your current hair colour and its condition. Always perform a strand test to preview the outcome before full application.

How often can I re-colour my hair with Garnier Olia?

For root touch-ups, you can re-apply the colour every 4-6 weeks as your hair grows. For a full-head application, it's generally recommended not to colour your hair more frequently than every 6-8 weeks to maintain hair health.

What should I do if I get the dye on my skin or clothing?

If dye gets on your skin, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth or a dedicated hair dye remover. For clothing, rinse immediately with cold water. Prompt action is key to preventing permanent staining.

Does this product offer good coverage for stubborn grey hairs?

Yes, Garnier Olia 6.60 Intense Red is specifically formulated to provide up to 100% grey coverage, including stubborn grey hairs, ensuring a uniform and vibrant result.

Troubleshooting

Colour appears uneven or not as expected.

Ensure even application, especially if applying to roots first and then lengths. Hair porosity can affect uptake; very porous ends may absorb more colour. If significantly different, consider consulting a professional.

Hair feels dry or damaged after colouring.

While Olia aims to be gentle, any chemical process can stress hair. Use the after-colour conditioner provided, and follow up with deep conditioning treatments weekly. Ensure proper rinsing and avoid excessive heat styling.

Skin or surfaces are stained.

Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) around your hairline before application. Wipe any accidental splashes on skin or surfaces immediately with a damp cloth or a gentle cleanser. For tougher stains, specific stain removers for hair dye are available.

Allergic reaction (e.g., itching, redness, swelling) during or after application.

Immediately rinse the product from your hair and skin with lukewarm water. Do not re-apply. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen. This highlights the critical importance of the 48-hour patch test.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Preparation: Always perform a patch test 48 hours before full application to check for allergic reactions. Apply a small amount of the mixed product to an inconspicuous area of skin, like behind the ear, and leave for 48 hours without washing. Also, consider a strand test on a small, hidden section of hair to preview the colour result and determine optimal timing.
Gather Supplies: Before starting, ensure you have an old towel, gloves (provided in the kit), a non-metallic bowl (if mixing separately), a timer, and an old shirt to protect clothing.
Mixing: Follow the instructions provided in the box to mix the colourant and developer. Shake well or mix thoroughly as directed.
Application: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair as per the instructions, ensuring even saturation for consistent colour. Start from the roots and work your way to the tips.
Development: Leave the colour on for the recommended development time, typically 30 minutes, or adjust based on your strand test results.
Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Then, apply the after-colour conditioner (often included), leave on for a few minutes, and rinse again.

Compatibility

Age Group: Suitable for adults.
Hair Type: Generally compatible with most hair types, including natural, previously coloured, or permed hair. However, if your hair has been chemically treated, it's advisable to perform a strand test first.
Existing Colour: This product is designed to lighten hair up to three tones. If your hair is very dark, the intense red may appear deeper than on lighter hair. It is a permanent hair dye, meaning it will not wash out.

Care

Post-Colouring: Use the provided after-colour conditioner immediately after rinsing. This helps to seal the cuticle and lock in colour and shine.
Shampoo & Conditioner: To maintain the vibrancy and health of your coloured hair, use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for colour-treated hair. These products are typically sulfate-free and help prevent colour fade.
Limit Washing: Washing your hair less frequently can help preserve the colour. Consider using dry shampoo between washes.
Heat Protection: If using heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant spray to prevent damage and colour fade.
Sun Protection: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade hair colour. Consider using UV protection sprays for your hair or wearing a hat outdoors.
