It’s been three months since the last time I dyed my hair. I’m long overdue to touch up the roots as my natural dark brown hair is a few inches long. I’ve been transitioning my hair to a darker color. Therefore, my curly hair color routine starts with Garnier Olia dark blonde 7.0 (affiliate link) instead of the medium blonde 8.0 shade I was previously using.
My Hair Color Steps
I created a video showing my curly hair color routine step by step using Garnier Olia dark blonde. Here are the steps listed:
- Part hair down the middle and detangle hair with a gentle brush; I use the Wet shower detangling brush (affiliate link).
- Pierce colorant with pointed cap. Then add to developer in applicator bottle and shake thoroughly.
- Put on gloves and break of tip of the applicator bottle.
- Start applying dye down your middle part, and around the perimeter of your hair.
- Use applicator brush (affiliate link) to spread out the dye. Make sure the area is moist and covered before moving on to a new area.
- Divide hair in four parts and apply dye section by section. Tying hair back that you are not working on.
- Continue to use applicator brush to spread hair color and avoid getting dye on previously dyed hair.
- Once you are done with all sections, tie hair up in four buns and let it sit for 25 – 30 minutes.
- Rinse hair color out and apply a blue or purple shampoo to freshly dyed hair only. Let it sit for 5 minutes. I use the Matrix Brass Off shampoo (affiliate link).
- Apply the Garnier Olia conditioner to the lengths of your hair (Where there is no shampoo, basically, the hair you didn’t dye).
- Detangle your hair while conditioner is sitting.
- Rinse out shampoo and conditioner then apply normal curly hair styling products in the shower. I use DevaCurl Super Cream (affiliate link) and DevaCurl Arc Angel (affiliate link).
- Put up hair in microfiber turban for 10 minutes.
- Take hair out of towel turban and air dry.

Are you still using olia dk blonde? If so why not dark ASH blonde- it would help with too much warmth.
I have used the ash blonde in the past but it is really hard to find the shade in stores. They used to have a pearl blonde shade that I think was similar but I don’t see that one anymore either. I’ll try checking online to see if they still make it.
