Naturalistas are often hesitant to alter their hair color for fear that the processing will ruin their curl pattern or leave tresses dry, brittle and/or damaged. Your hair journey doesn’t have to end that way! While there are several factors that go into successfully coloring hair, like picking the proper stylist and treating regularly, choosing safe at-home color options is also an option! When deciding on what hue to rock, get inspired by your favorite celebrities rocking the same style. See some of the Internet’s favorite go-tos below:
