5 Best Ways to Care for Color Treated Hair

I get the question often if my hair color is natural black or do I use a dye. And I also get asked if I will ever dye my hair.  Yes, this is my natural black color

and No I will not dye my hair. I won’t say never, but I will say I won’t dye my hair because I just can’t be bothered with the additional care required and honestly, I love my dark ebony natural hair.  I think it flatters my dark skin very well.  I’ve picked the brains of various stylists in order to gather that color treated hair needs additional care.  I’m just not with it.
