All went well until I opened the packaging. The green powder quickly went everywhere, I added water to make a gloopy mess that went over my hair and everything else. I didn't get very good coverage because my hair soon became a knotty mess. I spent the 30min development time on clean up and trying to ignore the matcha smell, only to further get green on everything after washing my hair until water was clear, even after drying I got green fingers and nails. So experience- no I wouldn't do it again. Colour and texture result in my hair - disappointing, not as depicted on packet (much darker with no obvious copper) and my hair feels dry rather than nourished, and I can still smell it. I love Schwarzkopf and wanted to love this new and exciting product experience but for me it's a no.

My hair hates winter, it's thick and goes frizzy and crazy! I've used a few of these different oils, creams and other and things to try and tame it and this is definitely one of the better ones. I usually just use a tiny amount (believe me a little goes a long way!) and run through with my fingers prior to doing my hair up, or just use it to smooth down those flyaways. Great thing to keep on hand in case you need it and very transportable, just make sure it's closed tight as that oil can go everywhere and is hard to get off if not.

This is my third review as part of the trial team. I've been using Garnier Olia 5.0 Brown for the past 3 months and am very much still satisfied with the product. The best part for me was how easy it was to use, with little mess compared to other products, little preparation required and simple instructions (I just put it in and then relax in the bath with some tunes). The next best thing about Garnier Olia is that it doesn't have that smell that ammonia-based colours have, so I can forget about it the next day. While my hair often dried out in winter I've found that it's healthy, shiny and smooth after using this dye and the included conditioner. The conditioner that comes in the packet lasts for ages between dyes, rather than only covering one or two uses. The colour fades evenly over time, and looks even more natural after a week or two. I'd be happy to continue using this product and reccommend it to others for a no-fuss home colour experience.

I used Garnier Olia in Brown last night for the second consecutive month (thanks bh!), to be honest I wasn't looking forward to it, the shade is too dark for me and had lightened up nicely since my last use a month ago! Nevertheless, I was more relaxed about it this time around, knowing how easy it was to use! (maybe a little too relaxed). I applied the colour in the bath after an 11km run. It says to apply to "unwashed" hair, but probably doesn't mean sweaty hair lol. Also not sure if steam is bad for the process, but I didn't experience that horrible hard dirty hair feeling like I did during the process last time. The process went really quick and felt like no effort at all as I listened to some tunes in comfort. As I rinsed it out my hair felt smooth, and when dry it feels soft and looks great (except for being too dark). There's very little scent, so it doesn't overpower my perfume. I'm feeling good :) The conditioner that comes in the pack lasted me a couple of weeks last time too, so that's a great addition.

Thanks beautyheaven for allowing me to trial this product again! I first tried Garnier Olia 12months ago and loved the colour result with Mahogany Brown. This time I used Brown, which was boring, monotone and darker than I expected, but I can't let bad colour choice impact on the review of the product, because there is little else I can fault! The dye was really easy to use. Unlike another reviewer I thought the instructions explained the process well. The hole in the box was too big to hold the bottle, which fell in. Otherwise the prep was simple and the process start to finish was mess free - which I love! My hair felt really stiff during development which was a but gross, and I wasn't sure if I had even coverage as it was hard to tell. It rinsed out really easily though and felt great after using the accompanying conditioner. The smell of the product is also really subtle so it doesn't feel like you're covering yourself in chemicals as with some other dyes.

I was lucky enough to test this as part of a trial team (thanks bh!) My initial reaction found the packaging informative but quite plain/uninspiring. The can is a generous size (though I have a small can of Cedel which is more convenient on-the-go). The product is really easy to use, and my hair felt refreshed upon brushing through. The scent was very offputting to me - kind of a fake lemon cleaning product smell, which makes me less likely to purchase it. And, while refreshing my hair and maybe reducing the grease factor slightly 24 hours post wash, there was no noticible improvement to my hair. It is for this reason that I have only given it 2 stars when compared to other similar products.

Firstly, the product was really easy to use. Usually with home dye jobs I seem to get it all over the bathroom, maybe because you start with dry hair with this it was easier, but there was no clean up required! Or is it just me that does this? There was also no overpowering smell that you often get with dyes which was fantastic! In fact it is quite pleasant I didn't really like the feel once I put it in. My hair was brushed and soft beforehand but the dye made it all knotty and pulled some hair out in the process. I had to take a before and after photo as I can't even describe my own natural colour but I went from a medium brown to Mahogany Brown. I have dyed my hair Mahogany before but I think I like this colour, it is fairly subtle, hard to tell the colour at the ends, though it should be fairly even. Always exciting/scary when you don't know what to expect! For the trial team, the dye came in a giant box which put me off at first, given there were obviously no environmental considerations. With the normal box, the instructions said to use this to hold the applicator tube but it was too deep and a bit awkward. Also pouring two things into the bottle wasn't as convenient. other dyes I've used you just pour one into the other. And with the application I started off using the bottle and then just poured it in my hands and combed through with my fingers instead as it was easier Overall I'm pretty happy with the dye, but packaging could be improved and did get myself in a bit of a knot, but that's probably just me. Happy with there being no clean up required!

I love this little tub of wipes. Its convenient, cute & easy to use. 1 wipe usually takes off the bulk of nail polish with 1 to clean up edges. Lasts for ages and no mess, no spills that you get with liquid, quick, easy & really cheap. Highly reccommend this product!

Prior to trying this I had only used "live colour" but im currently Terracotta and loving it. It looks so natural and healthy and shines in the sunlight. So easy to use and comes with all the bits and pieces great for a novice like me. Love it!

I gave this to my mother and she swears by it. Olay products are always reliable and when i tried this it was deeply nourishing and didnt leave my skin greasy but at my age cant speak for the anti-aging side of it. I only have the word of my mother who assures me her skin's bouncing back again!
