Answer 2

Hiya

I think Nice and easy is the best dye for dark hair. It covers well.

If you only have a few greys it will probably touch it up perfectly.

You could try getting lighter highlights done as this will make the grey less obvious - unfortutaly on dark hair it shows up alot more. If you do decide to get highlights thou - because this would involve using bleach id go and get it done at the hair dressers for sure!!! As home dying with bleach is far too drying to be done with home dye the salon stuff is more conditioning and stronger so that they dont have to leave it on so long. You get overal better results.

Remember as you are using dyes to always use a good salon style conditoner/reconstructor at least once a week.

Nice N Easy made my hair like straw! I like Belle Color, the shade is simply called "Brown" lol. I have long dark hair too, and now have about 60% grey. I was told to only dye the roots each time as keeping dyeing the full length will eventually damage your hair as well as causing colour build up. If you only have the odd grey though, I really would recommend that you use Loving Care or Lasting Care. They dont contain the harsher chemicals that all permanent dyes have, and they leave your hair in gorgeous shiny condition, particularly dark hair. If I had few enough grey to still use Loving Care I definitely would.

Good Luck :)

I've used Nice and Easy for years with great results and no hair damage.
Everyones hair is different so it's a bit trial and error finding the right one for you.Have you thought about a few highlights if it's the grey that's bothering you.
Either way you have to find the correct dye for you personally, you could go to a good hairdresser,your hair condition and type(fine or course) will determine the results and they are trained to know that.

Hi UK,
I suppose that this is a bit of a "girl" Q, but a as a bloky bloke, with naturally dark brown hair, I died it bright blonde to appear as a clown at the local water-mill open day. Hydrogen peroxide was the chemical involved.

Whereas I had sort of thin, fine hair, it is now thick, dark brown, but my eyebrows are still a tad blonde.

I would just leave it alone, mon ami, and let nature take the course.

Regards in the hair department,
Bob.

Answer 6

All dye is basicly an identical. Wether if it truly is $40 or $3. once you've darkish brown hair & you dye it red/burgundy it is going to in reality have a dismal tint to it. you may in reality manage to make certain it contained in the solar. You hair gained't get damaged in case you dye it for the first time. yet semi permenant washes out whenever you wash your hair. So use shampoo that keeps the colour.

Answer 7

I agree with some of the others i always use Nice`n Easy

Answer 8

Always buy one that uses water as it's base,and the best there is, is L'Oreal Recital Preference, your hair will love it and it won't strip it of it's natural oils.

Answer 9

for me it depends upon the girl. Like I might see a girl with black hair as well as think she is totally hot yet see a girl with blond curly hair that is meh and vice versa.

Answer 10

I was born together with blonde hair so i think we look fine thats the way i was born
