Why is it that when people dye their hair black it looks darker than natural black hair or is it just me?

Yeah! I agree dyed black hair looks heaps darker. I think it's because hair is naturally bleached/lightened from the sun so what starts off as black hair becomes browner over time so dyed black hair looks darker because its just pure black.. no light bits! does that make sense?

I think everyone pretty much clarified it for you. There's no such thing as naturally black hair. Look at it this way: black's a shade, not an exact color. What most people consider to be black hair is actually VERY dark brown hair.
And yeah, the chemicals in the dye give it that 'much darker' effect.

it looks darker than natural black because 1. it is dye......chemicals. 2. if they already have dark hair to begin with, then putting on a dark color on top of a dark color will most likely result in a darker color.

no its true, because people with naturally black hair really have dark brown. when u dye it black youre putting in a dark blue or purple tone that shows as black.

well, very few people have a very black color, if the person is quite white, it's gonna look even darker beacause of the contrast.
Cheers!

Temporary dye will fade but it wont wash out completely. It will ruin the color completely. I suggest getting a wig.

Its darkness only depends on how you delute your dye before applying it to your hair.
