I have very dark brown hair (almost black) and tanned skin (more to the dark) what color should I dye my hair?

Question

I am completely lost on this subject. I have never died my hair before with fear that I will look completely horrible. I really want to dye it, but I don't see much choice of where to go. Anything from blonde, to red, to ... just about all the colors most people would use, simply wouldn't work (I mean highlights, not all my hair, on the other hand, considered dying all my hair Black, not brown, black, just to see what that would be like.) I would really aprecate it if someone could help me out and give me some options so I don't make one of those huge mistakes I've seen been done before. THANKYOU!!! :D

Answer 1

why do u even have to dye it? keep ur natural hair color

Answer 2

Hmm, well I can see the challenge here since you have very dark hair and are inexperienced with hair dye. Anything you do to lighten it is going to be permanent. If you lighten it and don't like it, then you may try to dye it back to your original color, which is nearly impossible if you have multiple color hilights naturally. A drastic change like going blonde or red when you never have before can be quite shocking and even traumatizing if you are not used to coloring your hair, and you may regret it.

If you are flirting with the idea of black, I would try that because it is very close to what your hair is already, so the change will be subtle. With your tan skin it should make you look fabulous! If you end up not liking it, you can always get a darker color to come out (which is not the case with lightening). If you are really unsure and have never done it before, you may wish to talk to a hairstylist who specializes in coloring to give you some advice.

If you decide to color it yourself, when you pick out a brand, remember that more money does not always mean better quality, no matter what the box says. Sometimes you are just paying for a brand name. I dyed my hair several times with Loreal FERIA (which can cost anywhere from 10 to 15 dollars) because they promote it so much and when you go to that section of the store there is so much of it. The last time I dyed my hair I decided to go with a cheaper brand Revlon Colorsilk, because they had a shade that was closer to what I wanted, and I have gotten MORE compliments on my hair from other people than I ever did using the more expensive brand.

Good luck, I hope you like whatever you decide!

Answer 3

Having black hair I would Not try blond. You will end up with orange hair and possibly every other color. You have the option of adding highlights to the color you have now. Which you will have to get it redone every 6-8 weeks. However, my suggestion to you would be to color it a caramel or chocolate brown and add some honey highlights through it with allot around your face since you are tan. I'd say stay away from the auburn.. I don't like the way it looks in the summer... Good luck! :)
