Coloring hair

I have shoulder length dark brown relaxed hair with light brown/copper highlights in various sections of my hair. I'm getting bored with the highlights and want to color my entire hair jet black. However, I'm concerned about damage. I was lucky with the highlights and suffer very little damage due to lots of conditioning before and after the coloring. Will I be able to color my entire head and what type of coloring should I use, permanent or semipermanent? Those who have colored their hair more than once, please share your experience. Thanks!Renita

Thanks!> RenitaTry a semi-permanent to see if you like the way your hair turns out. Then go to a hairstylist to have your hair done permanent, they can get the hard to reach spots on your head. The color should not do damage, just be sure to have the hairstylist put conditioner on after shampooing your hair, and use a leave-in conditioner while combing out your hair. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
