Does Anyone Know of a Haircolor that won't damage your hair? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I am searching for a permanent haircolor that is really gentle on the hair. I've been using permanent haircolor for several years now, and have used Nice and Easy (that fried my hair) and have been using Revlon Colorsilk for a couple of years now, and only do the roots to keep it from doing further damage. But - I want to go a bit darker now and will have to dye all of it, so I want one that won't do further damage since I will have to color all of it each time rather than just the roots - or will it stay darker on the rest? I just don't know.

Somebody help, please!!!! Thanks!

I use the Garnier brand dye (the one in the bright neon green box) and I don't have any problems with it. As far as dying all your hair every time, I've had people tell me to just do your roots first, and then after it's sat for a few minutes, put some water in like you're going to rinse but just enough to distribute the color through the rest of your hair and then let it sit for a few more minutes before rinsing, that way it kind of blends the color...

^^I used it too!! Garnier Nutrisse!! It has fruit oils in it that were actually really moisturizing for my hair. It made it softer after using it. I had tried Feria haircolor and didn't like it and it made my hair feel a little dry, but the Nutrisse one smelled much better than other hair dyes and was gentle and made my hair so silky! I'd definitely recommend it!

Clairol Natural Instincts! It has all natural ingredients and is not harsh at all! The color is beautiful too! I hate to quote commercials, but your hair really does look healthier after you use this!

Thank you ladies for your replies! I most likely would have bought the Fiera because everyone talks about it being good, but if it makes your hair dry at all, I don't need to use it! I will definitely try the Garnier Nutrisse, especially if it moisturizes your hair.

Natural Instincts is great too, but I just want longer lasting coverage, plus I can't seem to find just the right color in it for me.

My hair is pale blonde right now because I kept having to use a ultra light blonde on the roots to match the rest of my hair, but I just don't like the really light color on me. I think I look better with mine just a shade darker.

I will let you know how it turns out!! I will probably do it later this week.
