Garnier Olia

I've been my dyeing my hair on a regular basis for the last 10 years now. From the age of around 20 I started to notice grey hairs coming through eeekk and now I would say about half my hair grows through as grey. It doesn't help that my hair is naturally dark brown so they stand out!
 
I don't want to "embrace the grey" just yet so dyeing it is a necessity. I've always struggled to find a hair dye that actually covers the grey fully though. So many of them claim to 100% cover grey but for me they rarely do. I then decided to have it coloured professionally instead which DID cover the grey, however my hair grows super fast so within a few weeks I could see them again, making it a costly affair!
 
Recently I decided to revert back to trying different dyeing products and I came across a Garnier one. It is the Olia Garnier brand and I used the Deep Cherry shade. I found it easy to apply and miracle of miracles it covered my grey!!!! Yes! My hair felt softer after as well compared to hair dyes I've tried in the past. This particular shade looks great on dark brown hair and it doesn't look unnatural. 
 
There's a cool colour selector too on the website: Garnier


 

 
Its £7.00 and is on 3 for 2 in Tesco at the moment if you wanted to stock up! 
 
Has anyone else tried this brand? Any recommendations for other grey coverage products?
 
Thanks For Reading!!

My attempts to volumize my thin hair!

 
 
 
I have such fine hair and I'm forever on the look out for products to give it a bit of volume. I, at times, will attempt to backcomb my hair to give it some volume before a night out but it can be a pain to do and I worry that I may be damaging my already thin hair.  
 
The below is a photo of my hair after my usual blow drying routine.
 
 Before....
 
 
I recently came across a product by Umberto Giannini and I have to say I was very impressed. It claims to give volume and "sexy texture" without damaging your hair with backcombing. I'm always sceptical that such products work but I'm open to try anything! 
 
 
Its really easy to use. Simply spray 6inches to where you want the backcomb effect and then jujj hair into shape. After doing this through my hair it felt thicker and more textured and it only took a few minutes to do. It could also be used for up dos and does the job without damaging your hair back combing.
 
After....
 
 
 
 
Any comments or recommendations on what works for you are welcome!
 
 
 
 
You can purchase this from Boots for £5.61

Loose Wave Perm - First Thoughts

This video is from back in the summer so my hair is a little different now but I have to say having lived with it for 6 months the perm did make it easier to style... I just left it to dry naturally and needed no product... perfect for summer!
Video quality is not great 'cause back then Khila was filming with her webcam but you can expect some newer videos soon...

Thanks for watching
