Garnier introduces Olia: The first oil powered permanent home hair color. Unlike traditional hair color, Olia uses an exclusive 60% oil blend, with natural flower oils, in the colorant.
Olia achieves maximum color performance while visibly improving and restoring hair. BeautyStat weighs in on the benefits of this new hair-coloring system with the help of Dr. Rolanda Johnson Wilkerson, P&G Senior Scientist, and Judi Steward, resident BeautyStat cosmetic chemist and formulator .
Maximum Color Performance
The unique oil-based formula maximizes the coloring process to achieve lasting, permanent color results. It propels colorants deep into the hair, without ammonia, for pure, vivid, long-lasting color.
Visibly Improves And Restores Hair
Olia visibly improves and restores hair as the oils help to reverse roughness and dullness for more brilliant, dimensional color and softer, shinier hair with bounce.

Dr. Rolanda Johnson Wilkerson, P&G Senior Scientist, and Judi Steward, resident BeautyStat cosmetic chemist and formulator, tell us the negative and positive attributes of using oil-based hair-coloring formulas. Dr. Rolanda Johnson Wilkerson said:
Negatives:
– Testing has shown that oil-based permanent formulas are not effective at evenly depositing color onto the hair. Additionally, color is not sustained for as long compared to water-based permanent hair colors.
– Oil-based formulas can also be hard to wash out of the hair, have reduced manageability (the hair is harder to comb through) and tend to weigh the hair down.
– Hair testing has also demonstrated that water-based formulas better preserve the integrity of the hair shaft, whereas oil-based formulas demonstrate damage to the cuticles with severely uplifted cuticles.
Positives:
Certain oils tend to be moisturizing for the hair, however, with so many other adverse side effects to the coloring experience, this positive attribute is minimal.
Judi Steward assured that the high oil content in the product will ensure moisturizing benefits.
