Best Hair Dye for Curly Hair of 2026

"I really like this product! It has significantly repaired my hair damage and my curls look much improved. I would suggest this product to any curly-haired individuals who want to avoid damaging their curls."

"The All About Curls Permanent Hair Color Dye is somewhat expensive but delivers a beautiful color. However, the first component, which is the serum, seems disproportionately small, about one-sixth the size of the permanent hair colorant. It costs $12, which is slightly high, but the color is indeed lovely, particularly for wavy hair."

"The dye is pretty good and it didn't cause my hair to dry out. It didn't seem to enhance my curls, control them, or have any particular effect on them. It colored my hair, leaving it soft and in a healthy state."

"I've previously used this product when switching from highlights to my natural dark brown. I prefer it because unlike other dyes, it doesn't make my curls feel like cotton candy. Garnier Dark Brown always leaves my hair in great condition and doesn't harm my curls. It gives a very natural color and I achieved it with just one box. This will always be my preferred choice."

"Color 51 acts quickly, in about 15 minutes. It's quite liquid even on my thick 4c/4b hair. It turned my new growth into a reddish-brown color! You'll certainly need to use a toner or blue shampoo to remove the brassiness. After that, it closely matched my natural hair color, a sort of dusty ash medium brown. It left my hair soft and my curls undamaged. They sprung back when water touched my head. This product works exceptionally well for my ethnic hair, better than any other products!"

"As someone of mixed race, finding the right hair color that suits me can be challenging. However, I've used this particular shade before and I absolutely adore it. Surprisingly, I only needed one box for my thick curls. The color also leaves your hair feeling incredibly soft. The color lasts fairly well, although I do prefer the richness of the color before the first wash."

"It's easy to use and not messy, especially since my hair is shorter (up to my neck). I left it on for 30 minutes, rinsed it out, applied the conditioner for a few minutes, and rinsed again. However, once my hair dried naturally, it became extremely frizzy and untidy. The frizz was soft, not harsh, but it was disappointing as my hair is naturally softly curled. I applied a large amount of leave-in conditioner and two days later, my hair returned to its normal state but with a lovely, healthy color. I'm unsure if I'll use this product again, but if I do, I'm prepared for the initial two-day adjustment period. I just needed to add additional moisturizer. My hair looks fantastic now."

"I've been a loyal customer of this brand for over a year. I've had gray hair since I was 16 and now about 40% of my hair is gray/white. I really like the floral scent of this product. It's easy to use, doesn't create a mess, and doesn't drip. The creamy texture ensures full coverage of my gray hair without causing any damage. As a person with curly hair, I always prioritize hair-friendly products."

"The color was a bit darker than I anticipated, but I still enjoyed it. It has proven to be more durable than some other brands I've used in the past. It also includes a conditioner to be used after every wash."
