Any ladies here color their hair with something other than henna?

[meka]

If so, what do you use. I want to color my hair jet black but I don't know which brand to try. Ive heard great things about Textures and Tones...any advice?

 

[meka]

Bump....I know everyone here does not have their natural color....lol

 

[cutenappygrl]

are you ruling out indigo as well?? Because henna + indigo make hair jet black - and there a quite a few topics on the forum on how people do this process.

thanks, I just dont want a mess...I have a little girl who does EVERYTHING she sees mama do...she was just "greasing" her scalp with olive oil....LOL

I'm relaxed with my hair dyed black. I go to the salon to do color.

Last time I tried to color my hair black at home, I ended up with brown parts and super black parts.

eta: I used a demi color from Sally's.

Woooowwww...sounds like something I might do....lol

Yes, I color with Textures and Tones. When I was relaxed, I used Dark and Lovely with no problem, but I think they changed the formula; the box looks different. I've also had my hair colored at the salon, but for the most part, I color at home. Been doing it for almost 6 years.

After I color, I DC with protein, on dry hair. I do a final rinse with cold water or ACV. I also rinse frequently, mainly because I like changing my hair color, but also because it aids in closing my cuticle.

Which color do you use?

I used Bronze, but the color is more of a light brown color. I counted on that, but I did a strand test to make sure. The color on the box was a little much for me.

I've used Bigen's rich medium brown, jazzing and beautiful collection

 

[atlien11]

I use Bigen as well in Oriental Black (permanent), some ppl think its drying but ive never had a problem. I heard Redken was pretty good.

Dark and Lovely

I use Bigen jet black. As far as drying goes, it seems to me that all the people who complained about that were using heat to set the color. I just follow the directions exactly as they say in the packets and I'm fine with no dryness.

I love Bigen because permanent but it doesn't contain any amonnium or peroxide
