I love Garnier, but use the blackest black they have. I especially love that the one I use comes with a pack of grapeseed oil and a pouch of shea butter conditioner. That red is really pretty on you, Elle. It looks as if you were born with that color.
She is so gorgeous! This is making me miss my fro, I’m locked now.
I used loreal hicolor for dark hair only in soft auburn and a 30 volume developer. It has ammonia in it and believe me that stuff smells STRONG lol. So I would bet my money that feria is the same way. It didn’t damage my hair though, it wasn’t dry and my texture did not change at all. Im going to wait a while before I color it again, because I don’t want to put too much stress on my hair. My plan is to let it lighten up gradually on its own.

I’ve used Creme of Nature. They use a lot of organic ingredients and didn’t dry my hair out. I used Intensive Red, although I did go to a salon to have it put in. I think the young lady also used a lift to brighten the color.
hey i wanted to ask you something, i been try get that color for song long its ridiculous..since my hair is original dark brown i try to color with (Clairol which has ammonia) w it red again n it came out auburn..i wanted to know wen i do a touch up n change the hair product color to use urbel shine …will it be bad on my hair or do you think its ok to switch.
You should never EVER use commercial hair color with Ammonia or Peroxide, if you want to maintain healthy hair.
I ONLY use 100% plant-based dyes. I’ve found Act Naturals works best:

and shampoo tint

That is so awesome! I have never seen someone who Hennas their hair with that strong of a red die (who is black, at least) I am so excited to try it!
Did you color test any of these before you did it, or did you just go for it?
I don’t really care for her attitude however, her hair is fab 🙂
