Garnier has launched a new home-colour formula, the Olia Gloss 10 Min Hair Mask, priced at £9, which customers are praising for making hair colour look richer and more vibrant while restoring softness and adding shine. This tinted treatment is designed for those who want a quick colour refresh between salon visits without committing to a permanent dye.
Product Details and Benefits
The Garnier Olia Gloss 10 Min Hair Mask is a tinted hair treatment that delivers fresh, revitalised colour for up to six washes. It also nourishes and conditions the hair, providing up to 72 hours of mirror-like shine and softness. The formula contains an 8% restoring complex enriched with nourishing flower oils, including sunflower oil, shea butter, and camellia oleifera seed oil. It is free from silicones, alcohol (ethanol), mineral oil, and ammonia.
The product is available in four shades: Expensive Brunette (for darker hair), Cowboy Copper, Old Money Blonde, and Scandi Blonde. It typically retails at £12.99 but is currently on promotion at Superdrug and Amazon for £8.99.
How to Use
Users should apply the mask like a conditioner on clean, wet hair, massaging from root to lengths. It is advisable to wear gloves during application and leave the product on for 10 minutes to allow full colour absorption. The brand states it is not recommended for grey coverage, but some customers have reported effective coverage of greys and roots.
Customer Reviews
One customer gave a five-star review, saying: "The gloss is a perfect pick-me-up in between dyes – the colour was picked up well by my greys and roots. It was easy to apply and wash off – and left my hair feeling nourished and glowing." Another shopper who tried the Old Money Blonde shade commented: "It's super hydrating – without weighing it down – and leaves my hair super shiny, soft and tangle free, with a boost of colour!"
A further reviewer stated: "It conditions with the same high-performance intensity as those 'magic' conditioner bottles you only ever find tucked inside a box of hair dye." However, not all feedback was positive. One customer who gave a three-star review noted: "I had high hopes for this, especially with the claims about correcting up to a year of damage, but unfortunately it didn't live up to that for me. My hair didn't feel any softer or healthier after use, and there wasn't a noticeable improvement in condition at all."
Alternatives
For shoppers seeking other options, the Wella Professionals Care Color Fresh Semi-Permanent Colour Mask is available at Lookfantastic for £16.70 in six shades. The Schwarzkopf Hair Gloss at Boots, priced at £8, is another alternative designed to add depth and richness to hair colour with a coconut oil-based formula.
The Garnier Olia Gloss is available at Superdrug, Boots, Amazon, and Tesco. The product has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with many customers calling it a perfect solution for maintaining colour between salon appointments.
