Absolute black hair occurs only in people of pure Asian descent.
I stand corrected: Reference this entry in wikipedia:
Black hair is the darkest and most common color of human hair. The vast majority of people of non-European descent have black hair.[1] In English, people with black hair are usually referred to as black- or dark-haired, rather than brunette.
Outside of Northern Europe, where the blond mutation originated, most humans are black-haired.[2] Black or extremely dark brown is likely the original hair color of homo sapiens, and is found in its greatest distribution in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, pre-colonial Australia, and the pre-Columbian Americas. Among Caucasians, black hair is particularly common in people of Southern European, West Asian, North African, and South Asian descent, and much less so in people from Nordic countries. Native Americans, believed to be genetically related to East Asians, have straight, jet-black hair.
Black hair comes in a variety of textures. Many people of African or Melanesian origin have afro-textured hair, while straight black hair is common in Asians and Native Americans. Ethiopians have wavy or straight hair. Curly or wavy hair is common among black-haired Caucasians, as is straight hair.
Search Wikipedia "black hair"
Sorry about that.

Yes indeed, I know a family of Australians who are of Irish descent and all 8 children have jet black hair. Also I have a few friends who have black hair who tend to get grey hairs in their early 20's.

Yes of course it is. I am fully caucasian, a 5th generation aussie, with english and scottish ancestry, and my hair is jet black and fine. I think the colouring comes from the scottish side, fair skin, blue eyes and black hair. Most of my family have this colouring, and we tend not to go grey until very late in life. Good breeding my mother used to say...lol.
