I'm a hairstylist so here is free good advice. You say your going to to do some shadowing. Bottom layers a darker color than the top. Damage is caused by the level of peroxide that is used. Peroxide opens the cuticle so that we can alter the hair. As long as your not going very light you will be doing very little damage with almost any brand you choose. Where I see home colors doing a lot of damage is when powder lighteners (bleach)are used, or when you miss your target color and then color over and over again trying to lighten then darken. You just need to pick the color that you want and have someone else apply it so that it is put on timely and EVEN, That is the big one even is where you want the person applying it to focus their attention. Well good luck if you mess up, go to a salon to fix it. DO NOT KEEP COLORING. Good luck and have fun with it.

no, all hair dyes will mess it up, just take care of it afterwards and use good conditioner. if you don't dye it too much it should be fine.

Garnier Nutrisse is good but I don't think it lightens as well as stronger dyes if you're looking to lighten. But it is more gentle on your hair due to lower ammonia. If you don't want to lighten your hair then Natural Instincts is non-permanent so it won't damage your hair like permanent dyes.

The best thing to do is to get it done at a salon. They have products that meet greater standards than the ones in a drug store. Plus they can make sure you hair has a good conditioner. Salon products may be more expensive, but they are worth it.

If your hair is lighter than the color you are dying it try to find a product low in amonia and peroxide. Those are the chemicals that lighten and in the process dry out your hair.

I have been told that henna dyes are just as bad, but I have never had a problem with them.

All dyes have something in it to force the color into the hair, and whatever that is will useally strip the moisture out of the hair. Just follow the directions and condition frequently.

Try Henna or Indigo.
