Hi-
I don't know about Herbashine but I have used both Natural Instincts and Robert Craig. It's important that you understand that Robert Craig will not lighten your hair color - it can only deposit color on your current color. So it probably isn't the option you're looking for. My guess is that Natural Instincts is probably your best bet. Good luck!

Just out of curiosity, how did you narrow down your options to those three choices?

curlini: well actually what i really want for my hair is to add shine, and i wanna go two shades lighter than my current hair color
sweatpea: theyre in my opinion the most knwon amonia free haircolor

Ah, that's the connection between those 3 that I was missing.

Well, for what it's worth, I dye my naturally-black hair medium golden brown using Loreal Preference. It's not ammonia-free, but I've not had good luck going ammonia-free in the past. I find both Natural Instincts and Revlon Colorsilk to be very drying. And Robert Craig doesn't lighten at all, so it doesn't work for my current needs.

I've never tried herbashine, though.

Not a fabulous curl day, but the color is fairly accurate here:

Oooh I've been curious about redken eq for ages. What's the story on it? Have you tried it?

No, i have never color my hair actually, this is my first time, so do you think it would be better to do it on your own or going to the salon?
And your hair looks beautiful! It doesnt look dry or anything
