what category does black hair fall into?

Question

obviously not blonde or redhead, i've always considered myself a brunette, but i would like to hear from everyone else, do you consider black haired girls to also be brunettes?? lol

i would like to clarify that i mean people that have black hair, like south asians and east asians mostly have, not the kind of hair that black people have (no offense to anyone, i apologize if that sounds racist, thats not my intention at all)

Answer 1

true black hair does not exist naturally. like the colors you see at the store that are jet black and onyx, all that is chemicals. i could get into a lot of detail about it all, but it's really not necessary. basically there is only three colors that make up the natural colors of hair. they are red, yellow and blue, yes the primary colors. anyways asians have more blue pigment in their hair than that of a blonde, but blondes still have it in theirs. if you've ever really looked at a true black color it has a slight blue tint, because true balck is mostly pigmented of blue.

Answer 2

well are we talking about black hair as in color black, or black as in the hair that black people have? Because ive asked myself the same question, Im hispanic but im really light skinned, but my hair is black, and i also wonder if Im considered a brunette because I always see people talk about brunettes but they mean people with brown hair . . . hmmmmmm

Answer 3

No brunettes are a brown shade.
There is no name for Black but Black. There are just different shades of black. Ebony, Jet, Blue Black, Off Black.

Answer 4

Depends. Some dark hair is brown, and some is black, as in pitch black. My mother has black hair, and I would not consider that brunette. After all brun is brown in French.

Answer 5

Haha, my hair is naturally jet black. Random people ask me if I dye it or if it's natural. xD Hehe, I have no idea. My family is from southwest Asia. I think people with natural ACTUALLY black hair aren't that common in America, brunettes are. We're just classified as... black hair.

Answer 6

my friend considers black hair (also black haired) to be really really really really brown hair. LMAO. cuz you know, some people's hair turns brown in the sun. but personally, i consider it just black hair. i have black hair. haha. : ) i've been wondering that too ever since i saw that commercial with blondes redheads and brunettes. i was like WHAAT? : P

Answer 7

If their hair is truly a natural black I would consider them to have black hair. I wouldnt classify it as brunette.

P.S. That Paris chick up there is crazy.

Answer 8

just black haired, as brunettes have brown hair and red heads have red hair

Answer 9

I can't believe lots of people took your question out of context and are so offended. Anyway, I consider it brunette.

Answer 10

What the hell does "black hair is cute" mean? Anyway, our hair color is brunette. Some people have no clue, why answer a question you know nothing about. Must be desperate for points.
