When I used to dye my hair (well, BLEACH, I actually went from jet black to nearly white all by myself at home...) I just bought the cheapest ones. Not much help, though... I think Garnier does the best ones, though. When the others fryed out my hair it left my hair feel quite nice. I think the one I use was Garnier Naturals.

Please also read the thread about protecting your hair from peroxide damage using coconut oil:

and stay away from feria, or any high-peroxide dye.

Additionally, do you want to stay with your natural colour, and just cover grays? If so, you can use semi-permanent colours, particularly if you have less than 50% gray. I had great success with L'Oreal casting creme. They have a wonderful set of "natural" colours. Please use semipermanent, it will not damage your hair nearly as much, since they are low-peroxide formulations.
