Naturals that love to color - (Hair!)

[growth2come]

I want to colour my hair black but really cannot be asked to do the Henna and Indigo business. I just want a simple process or lumping that stuff on my hair...no 3,4 step process. Are there any naturals that use off the shelf colouring products without any damage? Please share.

I regularly color my grey roots with off the shelf hair color. My hair isn't much different health-wise than it was before I started coloring it.

I don't color the ends, tho' -- I put the color on 75% of the lenght, then protect the ends with EVCO and/or castor oil.

That may be different for you because you may want to color your entire head.

Good luck!

^^Thanks. Any Particular brand that you and any other naturals here are using?

I really want to color my greys but I"m also wary of damage. I did a bit of damage to my hair while it was transitioning, although, looking back on it, I probably should have done a lot more DC'ing and moisturizing.

I color my roots every two weeks. It's absolutely growing thus the need to do root touch ups so often. I seem to be retaining my hair and it's thriving.

growthtocome - I use only garnier fructis color. All the rest irritate my scalp. I usually color every 4-6 weeks now. My hair is in a growth spurt I think from the supplements I take.

Just got done dying my again this morning. I only use box dyes with no damage so far. I usually use Garnier or even Silk Elements. Always follow the process with a nice LONG and moisturizing DC and you'll be totally fine.

I want to color my hair so bad but I don't know if I can deal with the every two weeks thing and that's exactly how it would end up, as fast as my grey seems to grow! Frustrating!

I love color! I'm only touching up twice a year because I dig the two toned look. My favorite color is L'oreal Preference True Brunettes UL63. It didn't dry my hair out or break it off.

Let me see if I can find a video w/ someone using it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aE68egQPWE&feature=plcp&context=C326339bUDOEgsToPDskK6AgoRkI3Wugl5YmeQQnJh

This reminds me.. I need to get a box of color.

I use Clairol's Textures and Tones in Cherrywood.

I only do mine every three months, especially so that I don't end up going over the already colored hair. I don't really mind having the dark brown/cherrywood color, though, so your mileage may vary.

@CocoBunny What brand are you using?

I use Clairol Root Touch up. I love it. Apply, wait 10 minutes, rinse. Easy!
