Hi! Visit my album to see a close up of my hair texture and color. I use Bigen Permanent Powder Hair Color in #59 (Oriental Black). I have used this product for about 3 years, and it hasn't changed my texture, plus its ammonia and peroxide free, which is a plus since I have a relaxer. I won't ever change, because it works well for me. I tried Dark N' Lovely Midnight Blue, but it dried my hair really bad and made it break off.
