Does black hair coloring actually make your hair turn dark blue?

Question

I am only 17 and my hair is already turning a little white. My natural hair color is black as night, so it realllllly sticks out! I wanted to dye it for special occasions like prom.

But my friend said that if you use solid black color, your hair can turn blue!? this was from her dad's experiences.

She said to use dark dark brown color, but my hair is solidly black and I only have a total of about 20 white hairs!

IS WHAT SHE SAID TRUE? Is there anything else a 1st time hair dyer should know? Thanks!

Answer 1

It could if you use a black hair dye that has blue in the base.Not all black dye has a blue base though. You could get natural black,not blue black. Get the dye at a beauty supply store.It will say right on the bottle what the base color is. Good luck

Answer 2

Especially because you are a first time hair dyer, I would highly reccomend going to a salon and getting your hair professionally done..

However, at home hair colors are offered in a wide array of shades, even for just black. Some black dye actually shines a very dark blue in light, but it usually will mention that affect on the box...

Hope that helps =)

Answer 3

"True" black hair will actually have a slight blue tint to it. Most hair that looks black is actually a VERY dark brown. Even though your hair looks jet black, it probably isn't. Look at it under a light--if there's a subtle blue sheen to it, it's a true black--if not, sorry--you've got dark brown hair. A safe bet would be a "natural" black dye, rather than a jet black (jet contains blue).
