On the shelves in a drugstore I would go with Revlon Colorist.

Loreal Preference or Excellence

Most of the Lo'real hair dyes work alright, I personally prefer Garnier Fructis, it stays the color you want it to be for the longest before it fades.



It also, honestly, really depends on your hair type, mine is super thick and it takes something strong to take the color

This depends a lot on what you consider "best", what you're trying to achieve and what the conditon of your hair is now (i.e. natural color, ever used color before, covering gray, dramatic change desired...?)



Some very basic guidelines:



DO NOT apply any type of drugstore haircolor over hair that has been treated with henna!!! Even if it seems the henna has faded, the chemical compounds in it that will ruin your new color are still present. Henna has to be grown out/cut off.



Level 3 or "permanent" colors (eg Feria, Colorsilk) will last the longest, meaning you will have visible roots as your hair grows unless you match your current hair shade very closely.



If your hair is naturally dark (coffee brown to black) DO NOT try to go much lighter using an over the counter hair color product. "Retail" hair dyes do not have the level of peroxide necessary to lift dark colored hair beyond a hideous, brassy orange shade!



If your hair has been chemically lightened, be careful if applying a dark(er) color. Try to choose a warm shade (gold or red based) to avoid green or violet discoloration to your hair.



Any shade of red will fade most quickly and requires the most upkeep.



My hair is very dark brown naturally %26amp; I have had literally every color, from platinum blonde to royal blue to tasteful auburn. I color at home and at a salon, depending on the process, but am an avid fan of home experimentation. Wish I knew more about what you're after specifically because it's hard not to write a book here...
