The Garnier Olia Gloss 10 Min Hair Mask, priced at £9, has become a hit among shoppers looking to refresh their hair colour between salon appointments. The tinted hair mask, available at Superdrug, Boots, Amazon, and Tesco, provides revived colour for up to six washes and delivers 72-hour mirror-like shine.
Product Features and Shades
The mask 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 comes in four shades: Expensive Brunette, Cowboy Copper, Old Money Blonde, and Scandi Blonde.
According to Garnier, the mask can 'correct up to one year of damage' and is applied like a conditioner on clean, wet hair. Users are advised to wear gloves and leave the mask on for 10 minutes to allow the colour to absorb.
Shopper Reviews
One user said: 'After applying this £9 hair mask, I looked like I walked out of the salon with fresh highlights.' Another reviewer noted: 'I'm honestly obsessed with the Garnier Olia Gloss 10-Minute Tinted Hair Mask. It's the perfect in-between color refresh when your hair needs a boost but you don't want to commit to a full dye.'
A five-star review added: 'Super hydrating and my hair soooo glossy. It adds warmth to my hair. My natural brown has gone from a dull brown to a rich warm dark brown.' Another user praised the Old Money Blonde shade: 'It comes out a gorgeous, dark almost honey blonde - very much the trending "Old Money" blonde so suits the name incredibly well!'
Performance and Limitations
While the mask is not recommended for grey coverage, some shoppers reported good results on greys. One said: 'The gloss is a perfect pick-me-up in between dyes - the colour was picked up well by my greys and roots.' However, not all reviews were positive. A two-star review stated: '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.'
The mask usually retails at £12.99 but is currently available for £8.99 at Superdrug and Amazon. Alternatives include the Wella Professionals Care Color Fresh Semi-Permanent Colour Mask at £16.70 and the Schwarzkopf Hair Gloss at £8.
