Spray On Color
Natural ways to cover your gray.
I tried the dark brown before I found the red. Now I just use the red.
L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Cover Up - Dark Brown - 2.0oz: Ammonia-Free, Aluminum-Free, Dye-Free, Sulfate-Free
This is the GOAT for spray on gray coverage. I have sensitive skin. I been using it since it was $8.99. Then everyone else started buying it and the price went up
L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Cover Up - Red - 2.0oz
I used this when I had less gray and it worked well. Then one day I ran out and tried L'Oreal's version and I liked it. I still use the stick to cover areas the spray misses
EVERPRO Gray Away - Medium Brown - 2.5oz: Paraben-Free, Sulfate-Free, Vegan, Includes Applicator
Color With Hair Wax
As I Am Red Color Wax keeps your hair soft, however, it doesn't curl as nicely as the non-color gel. It also gives a wetter finish. It lasts about 3 days then begins to fade if you don't touch it up. I've shared daylight, flourescent lighting and war...
As I Am Curl Color™ Temporary Color Gel Damage-Free - Hot Red, Unisex, 6 fl oz. - Walmart.com
Gold used to be my favorite color until I found out about the copper. :) This is nice and glinty like cold so it stand up to its hype. It does transfer, but that doesn't bother me. It's worth it for the finish. I choose my clothing accordingly
As I Am Curl Color Temporary Color Gel, Bold Gold, 6 oz
If you're looking for bold color, this is not the one for you. If you want a touch of softness and shine, then yes. I've included examples on my gray hair and on someone with no gray. Inside, in the car and in the sunlight.
As I Am Curl Temporary Hair Color - Rose Gold - 6oz: Gel, For All Hair Types
My hair has a white-gray patch in the front center. This color has a different texture than the red, since it is metallic. I have texture issues so I prefer the feel of this on my fingers vs the red and I love the glinty outcome.
As I Am Curl Color - Copper - 6oz
Conditioners
This is the first natural “wash n go” type product I ever tried. It was such a find for me. It wasn't even in WalMart as yet. It smells really good and will take out a tangle in a single bound. I use this and As I Am leave-in, interchangeably.
KNOT TODAY LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER - Kinky-Curly Hair Care
I swear by this classic. It smells wonderful and works so well. NOTE: The castor oil version does not work for me.
As I Am Leave In Conditioner - Walmart.com
This works! I used it years ago to transition my hair from a texturizer to all natural and it helped minimize the breakage
SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Hair Oil Intensive Hydration Conditioner - 13 fl oz: Moisturizing for Dry, Coarse Textured Hair, Paraben-Free
Curl Enhancers/Stylers
You know that bounce back curl you get after deep conditioning? This mousse helps you define it and make it last.
The Doux Mousse Def Texture Foam Curl Enhancer - 7 fl oz: Smoothing & Texturizing Formula for All Hair Types
Wigs Work Too
Who would think you could get wigs at WalMart? One day I decided to check it out and they had some! All the wigs on here are not from WalMart, I just thought I'd share that tidbit of information. :D)
My burgundy WalMart special. It is light on my head and looks nice and shiny.

Walmart Special No. 2. I wear this one more often, and save the burgundy one for church or special occasions. The curls have really loosened up nicely
