Until now, the innovative ‘oil delivery system’ for permanent hair colour has been exclusive to salons. However, today Garnier Olia, $17, will become the first home colour to offer this technology. Ammonia-free – meaning no nasty smell – its formulation is 60% oil (sunflower, camellia and passionflower) and polymers – to give amazing shine. The result is the most brilliant, even coverage, and the 18 shades will deal with any grey issues – or just liven up your hair-look for autumn, you have got to try it.
