Considering trying out the newest “blue black” hair trend in color? You must have good taste. This color combo has been turning lots of heads recently and looks great on long, short, wavy, straight and curly hair and locs. Here are a few blue-black at home coloring kits to try out. The great things about these coloring kits is that they are available at your local drugstore or beauty store–Target, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and Sally’s Beauty Supply. They’re all inexpensive and promise lasting, vivid results.

Revlon Luxurious Colorsilk Buttercream 12BB, $5
This color contains mango butter complex of shea and coconut butter for extra conditioning and shine. It’s ammonia-free, too–so you’re not exposing your hair to the harsh coloring agent found in most store hair color kits. Color deposits smoothly without harming or weakening the hair.

Just remember…
If you are considering using a blue black color, you may want to consult your hairstylist or a professional hair colorist. Pin some photos and see if it truly is the color craze for you before committing with these permanent hair dyes. And of course, be sure to read all of the directions thoroughly as you should with any hair coloring product.
