Dying your hair can be intimidating for the first-timer, but you can do it. With a little patience and effort, you can be a do-it-yourself colorist in your own home.
This article is going to cover the best hair dyes as well as what are the top hair dye brands as well as what to know about side effects.
In This Article:
- Best Hair Dye Brands
- Best Hair Dye
- Best Box Hair Dye
- What is The Best Hair Color Without Side Effects?
- Best Purple Hair Dye
- Best Drug Store Hair Dye
Let’s talk a little about the best hair dyes. What you want to do is choose a color that is close to your natural hair color.
Best Hair Dye Brands
First off, let’s take a look at some of the best hair dye brands based on customer reviews. These are in no particular order, but rather based on Amazon reviews:
- Clairol
- Garnier
- Revlon
- Madison
- Vidal Sassoon
- L’Oreal
Of course, a brand is only as good as your experience with it. With that being said, let’s cover some of the best hair dyes on the market for DIY colorists.
Best Hair Dye
The truth is that the best hair dye for you is one that doesn’t break you out. Try it out on a small portion of your hair a day or two before you use it to see if you’re allergic.
After you strap up with your gloves (yes, gloves) and protect your shoulders and floor from dye, you’ll want to get the following supplies ready:
- Small bowl
- Brush
- Comb
- Sink
After you’ve prepared your supplies, it’s time to dye your hair. Here are the best products, according to real-life reviewers who’ve used them:
SoftSheen-Carson Dark and Lovely Go Intense Ultra Vibrant Color on Dark Hair, Golden Blonde 10 – $5.74
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about this product: “I’m really loving the colour.”
Just 5 Women’s 5 Minute Permanent Hair Color, Jet Black – $7.69
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about Just 5 hair dye: “Color does hold for 6 weeks. No stains or discoloration on the skin. I have been using this product for the past 3 years.”
Best Box Hair
When it comes to box hair dyes, here are the best ones, according to real-life reviewers:
Clairol Nice’n Easy Original Permanent Hair Color, 6 Light Brown, 3 Count – $23.97
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about Clairol Nice’N Easy hair dye: “I’ve been using this product for years and have been extremely happy. They have now changed the product. The color came out several shades darker than it usually does (my husband commented on it, and he never notices anything!).”
Clairol Professional Texture and Tones Permanent Hair Color – $11.54
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about Clairol Professional Texture & Tones hair dye: “It depends on how vibrant you want the color. Also, the density of your hair will play a big role. I’d get more then one and return any that I haven’t used.”
Schwarzkopf Keratin Color, Color & Moisture Permanent Hair Color Cream, 9.00 Honey Blonde- $9.97
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about Schwarzkopf hair dye: “I like it. I am gonna buy again. I find it suit to my hair. I usually have grey hair that is why i always need color stuff and I found this.easy to mixed and the smell is not bad.a bit of menthol feel unlike others coloring stuff feels like burning the scalp.So its very good.”
Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Hair Color Creme, 63 Light Golden Brown (Brown Sugar) – $6.97
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about Garnier Nutrisse hair dye: “Fades fairly quickly, but beautifully. Hair was bleached beforehand. Will probably purchase again. Doesn’t transer too much after 2-3 washes. Was prettty purple when initially dyed, faded to pink, then rose gold, then to a light gold with a rose tone.”
What Is The Best Hair Dye Without Side Effects?
Many hair dye products cause unwanted side effects from rashes to hair loss. One of the main reasons for this is that ammonia is a main ingredient in many hair dyes.
For that reason, what you want in a hair dye is one without ammonia or peroxide. Look for brands that are certified organic and are 100% natural for your hair.
That way, you won’t have to worry about any side effects.
Best Purple Hair
If you want to try grape shades in your head, here is the best purple hair dye:
Keracolor Clenditioner Color Depositing Conditioner Colorwash, Purple, 12 fl oz – $22
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about Keracolor purple hair dye: “Love how healthy this made my hair feel and the color is gorgeous!”
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about Joico purple hair dye: “Yes. First time I dyed it we left it in for over 3 hours. It took very well. Now we do 1 1/2-2 hours to redye and it still works nice. My hair is pretty healthy.”
Shan-S Color Hair Wax Cream Temporary Hair Dye Pomade – $2.90
Best Drug Store Hair
If you want to know what your local drug store has to offer when it comes to hair dye, here are the typical brands:
ONC NATURALCOLORS (5G Light Golden Brown) 4 fl. oz. (120 mL) – $24.95
Here’s what one reviewer says about ONC Natural Colors hair dye: “Yes this is PPD free and it is natural as it gets. The reason its much healthier than any other color in the market is because its pH value is around 8.5.”
L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying + Shine Permanent Hair Color, 4A Dark Ash Brown, 1 kit Hair Dye – $8.08
Here’s what one reviewer says about L’Oreal Paris hair dye: “This is the best hair color for me. It’s brown but not too dark, so my grays look like I got caramel highlights. I bought this in store once, but have not been able to find it since, so I’m glad Amazon had it. My hair is shiny and healthy. The only thing is I would recommend everyone to purchase a box of gloves to use instead of the ones that come with this kit, as they are very cheap and not stretchy so they may not fit. I actually asked my doctor and she gave me a few pairs at no charge.”
L’Oreal Paris Hair Color Root Cover Up Hair Dye Red 2 Ounce (Pack of 2) (Packaging May Vary) – $16
Here’s what one reviewer says about L’Oreal Paris Hair Color Root Cover Up Hair Dye: ”

Metro Atlanta resident and NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal says he’s done being called a “celebrity,” because of the way they treat people.
“These people are out of their freaking mind, how they treat people, what they do, what they say,” O’Neal told the New York Post.
Shaquille O’Neal Denounces His Celebrity-Ness
As a result, O’Neal says he doesn’t want to be called a celebrity anymore. “That’s never been me. I never want to be looked at like that.”
He did acknowledge that many celebrities get stereotyped, but he also said, “Most celebrities get stereotyped because most of them are out of their damn mind.”
“I don’t want to do that. I’m a regular person that listened, followed his dreams, made it,” he adds. “But just because I made it doesn’t mean I bigger than you. Just because I made it doesn’t mean I smarter than you. Just because I have more money than you, doesn’t mean that I’m better than you.”
Shaq said he’s never been that way and never will be. “I don’t want to be in that category with those people,” he says.
So how far is O’Neal willing to go with it? Talking to the Post, he says, “I denounce my celebrity-ness today. I’m done with it.”
O’Neal has always been a man of the people. Now, living in Henry County, Georgia, about 25 minutes outside Atlanta, O’Neal continues to work with TNT on its NBA content while making incredible business moves.
He owns the iconic Krispy Kreme doughnut shop on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Midtown Atlanta and has taken an executive position with Papa John’s. But he’s still a humble person at heart.

The new restaurant would be the first Slutty Vegan north of Atlanta and the company’s fourth in the area.
Slutty Vegan Restaurant Opening In Gwinnett County
Cole told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution that when she visited the location, it gave off the right vibes.
“I go to a location and I feel it out. The parking has to feel right, the energy has to feel good. I want it to be in close proximity to areas where people have easy access to get to. (The Duluth location) checked all the boxes,” she was quoted as saying.
Cole’s meatless restaurants have been popular dining experience in metro Atlanta for three years now. In early 2019, she opened the company’s first standalone restaurant in Atlanta’s Westview neighborhood.Since then she has expanded to other areas of metro Atlanta.How Many Slutty Vegan Locations Are There In Atlanta?
Slutty Vegan Location Address Westview 1542 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd SW. Atlanta, GA 30310. Old Fourth Ward 76 Edgewood Ave SE.

The Gwinnett County location of Slutty Vegan is located at 2131 Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth. Here is a map to help you find it.
The eatery has also grown a national following, thanks to Cole’s background in media and celebrity clientele and connections.

If you’re looking to sell your home, Zillow may make it a whole lot easier, but it depends on who you ask.
A viral TikTok alleges that the real estate company is buying up homes and raising prices, making homeownership unaffordable to untold numbers of people. Zillow has denied the claims and calls it “misinformation.”
For a while now, Zillow has been making initial cash offers on eligible homes in more than 20 cities, including Atlanta, Georgia.
The move is part of the company’s Zestimate, which has been changed due to new demands in the real estate industry. In this article, we’ll look at what Zillow’s Zestimate is all about as well as how you can sell your home.
What Is Zillow’s Zestimate?
Since 2006, Zillow has offered the Zestimate, which was a valuation tool to see how much your home was worth.
The Zestimate is now the company’s home-buying service through which customers can sell their home directly to Zillow.
The way it works is that qualifying homeowners can get the certainty of a cash offer by way of their Zestimate. The company aims to facilitate the buying and selling of homes totally online.
That means the era of having random strangers show up at your home may be a thing of the past.
How You Can Get Paid From Your Zestimate
Zillow is now pairing the Zestimate with Zillow Offers so that you can get cash in your hands more quickly.
The way this can work out for a seller is that they can find out what Zillow is willing to offer for their home before it even goes to market. This not only speeds up the process, but avoids long wait times for your property, which could cause it to look stale on the market after a while.
With a Zestimate, the home seller gets an initial cash offer if their property s deemed an “eligible home” in one of about 20 U.S. cities.
Final Thoughts
You may be wondering what it takes to buy a home in Atlanta, as the forecast for this year predicted, prices in certain areas are increasing. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find a nice home in metro Atlanta.
The first step in the process is to get pre-qualified for a mortgage.
If you’re already pre-approved for a home loan, it signals to the loan officer, real estate agent and seller that you’re ready to purchase — and not playing around.
Atlanta has one of the best real estate markets in the country, with affordable housing in every quadrant of the city. Large backyards, manicured parcels and strong neighborhoods with ample dining amenities make it one of the top places for transplants.
There’s also ample opportunities to rent your home for cash. Keep up with what’s going on in Atlanta’s real estate scene on our Real Estate page.
