Switching up your hair color is tricky enough. ("Will it be flattering? Will I hate it? Will it fry my hair?") Factor in fragile curls, relaxers and the naturally dark shades that come with African American hair, and the difficulty skyrockets. Still, coloring your hair at home can be done -- you just need to know what to look out for before heading to the store and which products to pick up once you get there.
We've done the work for you by rounding up the best at-home color kits for African American hair. All you need to do is decide on your new hue and promise to follow the cardinal DIY dye rules: have Vaseline or a face cream handy to prevent staining skin around your hair line, always do a strand test before you dye your entire head, enlist a friend to get those hard-to-reach spots and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize afterwards.
