Olivia Hair Colour Shades in Pakistan: Full Shade Guide

If you are searching for Olivia hair color shades, start with the honest part: BigBasket.pk does not stock Olivia hair colour. We will not print a price for it, we cannot deliver it, and this guide is informational. What we can do is more useful than a copied swatch chart — teach you to read the shade numbering system that Olivia and every other tube-and-developer brand uses, so a number on a chart stops being a mystery, and then point you at the real numbered shades we do carry from Framesi, L'Oréal Paris and Revlon. Once you can read a shade number, you are no longer loyal to a brand; you are loyal to a result.

What Olivia Hair Color Shades Actually Are

Olivia is one of the most searched hair colour names in Pakistan, sold through general stores and beauty shops rather than through importers like us. It is positioned as an affordable cream colour in the tube-and-developer format that salons use, which is exactly why people search for its shade card: unlike a supermarket box with a model on the front, a numbered range makes you choose a number, and most buyers have never been taught what the numbers mean.

We are not going to reproduce Olivia's specific shade chart here, because we do not import the product and we will not publish a chart we cannot verify tube by tube. What we will not do either is invent a price, tell you a shade is "in stock", or imply we can ship one to Karachi. What follows is the numbering logic itself — which is an industry convention, not a brand secret, and transfers directly to any range you end up buying.

The Level System: The Number Before the Dot

Every professional-style shade number starts with a depth or level, usually 1 to 10. That single digit is the most important thing on the tube, because it is the only part that tells you how light or dark the result will be:

• 1 — black
• 2-3 — darkest brown to dark brown
• 4 — medium brown
• 5 — light brown / chestnut
• 6 — dark blonde
• 7 — medium blonde
• 8 — light blonde
• 9-10 — very light to extra light blonde

Here is why this matters in Pakistan specifically. Most Pakistani hair is naturally level 1 to 3. If you pick a level 8 shade and apply it to level 2 hair with a standard developer, you do not get level 8 — you get warm orange, because the colour has to lift three or four levels first and a tube plus a modest developer cannot do that. The rule of thumb every colourist in Lahore works to: expect one to two levels of lift from a permanent colour, no more. Anything beyond that is a bleaching job, not a colouring job.

The Tone System: The Numbers After the Dot

The digits after the dot or slash describe the tone — the direction of the colour, not its lightness. The first digit after the dot is the primary tone; a second digit is a secondary tone at roughly half the strength. The widely used convention runs:

• .0 — natural
• .1 — ash (blue-based, kills orange)
• .2 — violet / iridescent
• .3 — gold
• .4 — copper
• .5 — mahogany
• .6 — red
• .7 — brown / matte, depending on the range

So 6.46 reads as: level 6 dark blonde, copper primary, red secondary — an amber. 7.3 reads as medium blonde with gold. 5.35 reads as light brown with gold primary and mahogany secondary. The one thing that varies between brands is the tone key, which is precisely why buying from a range whose chart you can actually verify beats guessing from a chart you found on Facebook.

The Real Numbered Shades We Do Carry

This is where the theory becomes something you can order. BigBasket.pk carries more than 20 Framesi FramColor shades — the same tube-and-activator format the searches above are really about — plus L'Oréal Paris box kits and Revlon glosses. Decode a few:

• Framesi - FramColor 2001 - 6/NP Dark Blonde — level 6 dark blonde, NP for a natural-plus tone. PKR 1,352.
• Framesi - FramColor 2001 - 7/NP Medium Blonde — level 7 medium blonde, same natural tone family. PKR 1,352.
• Framesi - FramColor Glamour - 5 Light Chestnut — level 5 light chestnut, the realistic option on dark Pakistani hair. PKR 1,352.
• Loreal Paris Excellence Creme Hair Colour #3 Dark Brown — level 3 dark brown, permanent box kit with grey coverage. PKR 2,950.
• Loreal Paris Excellence Creme Hair Colour #6.1 Dark Ash Blonde — level 6, .1 ash. Only on hair that is already lifted. PKR 2,950.
• Loreal Paris Excellence Creme Hair Colour #7.1 Ash Blonde — level 7, .1 ash. Same caveat. PKR 2,950.
• Loreal Paris Hair Color 8 Light Blonde – Excellence Creme — level 8 light blonde; a lift job, not a one-step on black hair. PKR 2,950.

Notice that the Framesi tubes are the cheapest per unit at PKR 1,352 precisely because they are colour only — you supply the activator. The L'Oréal kits at PKR 2,950 include developer and conditioner, which is what you are paying the difference for. Browse them on the Framesi brand page or across hair care.

If You Still Want a Shade We Do Not Carry

Take the number, not the brand. If a chart says 6.6 and you want it, you want a level 6 dark blonde with a red primary tone — and you can look for that specification in any verified range. If a shade you have set your heart on only exists in a brand sold loose in a general store, at least check the tube: printed batch code, printed shade number on the crimp rather than a sticker, a sealed carton, and a developer that smells of peroxide instead of perfume. Counterfeit colour is common in Pakistan, and unlike a fake cleanser, you cannot rinse the mistake off.

The reason we push people towards the Framesi range is not sales talk: it is that we import it directly, it carries real numbers, and it is the cheapest genuine professional colour we can put in front of a customer in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad. Everything we sell is 100% authentic with Cash on Delivery nationwide, and if you are unsure which level you are starting from, our team will tell you honestly when a shade will not work rather than take the order. Whatever you colour with, protect it afterwards with a colour-safe shampoo and a weekly conditioning treatment — Karachi humidity and Lahore sun fade tone faster than any wash schedule does.

Common Mistakes

• Choosing by the photo on the box. The model's hair started at a different level to yours. The number is the only honest information.
• Expecting ash to work on unlifted dark hair. Ash has no lifting power; it will read muddy on level 1-3 hair.
• Trusting a shade chart screenshot. Tone keys differ between brands, and screenshots of unverified charts circulate for years.
• Skipping the strand test, especially if you have ever used henna.

The Short Version

We do not stock Olivia hair colour, so we have not priced it and we have not copied its chart. What we have given you instead is the thing the shade card is really for: depth before the dot, tone after it, one to two levels of realistic lift on Pakistani hair, and ash only on hair that has already been lifted. Apply that logic to the more than 20 Framesi FramColor shades, the L'Oréal Paris kits and the Revlon glosses on BigBasket.pk, all 100% authentic, imported directly and delivered with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan, and you will pick a number that actually does what you wanted.
