With unique color options still trending in the hair space, it’s becoming the norm to see women at work with vivid colored hair. Some folks might want to try a little color, but don’t know which is best for them. Wigs and hair extensions can be good options, but don’t always have the right textures for our hair, and can get expensive. Try a semi or demi-permanent hair color instead, to get that pop.
Semi-permanent hair dyes simply coat the hair shaft, whereas demi-permanent dyes contain peroxide which opens the hair cuticle and penetrates deeper. So if you want a long-lasting color, you want to be sure to pick the right one. Whatever your preference, we’ve got some top rated options specifically for Black women, ranked high by actual customers (collective ratings include Black and non-Black users), and recommended by professional cosmetologists and colorists.

Rinse out colors are key for festivals and weekend shenanigans, especially when you have to be all business come Monday.
Average rating: 4 Stars (rating varies by color)
This is one of my personal favorites as it's an easy spray-in hair color, only lasts for a few days, and costs less than $5. It's perfect if you want to try the rainbow hair trend. Editor recommended
For those with dark hair who want to avoid the damage of dying, this hair makeup is a great alternative to give strands some pops of color.
