    Default Who else dyes their hair plain black?

    I'm half-Asian, so I'm naturally a dark brunette. Most of my Asian friends dye their hair and would kill to have my color. However, I smother my hair with neutral black dye. I don't want highlights or anything. I love having straight, sleek, shiny, raven hair. My eyebrows are naturally black, which means it actually looks natural. The contrast of raven hair with my porcelain pale skin is quite beautiful. When I was a brunette, it would bleach in the sun and would look kind of blah with my skin tone.

    I finally found a natural-looking color, L'Oreal Feria in Black Leather. It's not all fake bluish or purplish like most black dyes. I look at old photos of when I used the blue-black formulas and realize how fake it looked. I also don't use any of those color-treated hair products, which allows the color to fade and look natural. I can get away with only dying my hair about four times a year due to the fact that my natural color is dark and doesn't show roots until they're over an inch long.

    Does anyone else eschew highlights and bleach in favor of black dye?

    I've been thinking about it. I'm also a dark brunette. Thanks for the brand recommendation.

    I go back and forth. I like highlights, although I also think my hair is really shiny and pretty when it's a straight brown too. Plus no roots to worry about

    Yeah, I dye my hair blue-black. It makes me look more exotic.

    I dyed my hair black for a couple years... I have a naturally golden skintone which I attempted then to keep light for that porcelain doll look. I found Feria's black leather used to be a little better than it is now... it has more of a purple cast to it instead of brown when the sun hits it... looks sort of unnatural (but it used to be a fav!), I actually have found myself hooked on Colorsilk when it comes to box dye. They have an excellent soft black, and their brown/black is nice and subdued if you are going for that black haired fair look (like the black haired Scottish girls... so pretty!)

    Anywho.... Feria is cool, but at 3 bucks a box and the same sparkley effects (doesn't fade on me, my hair just soaks up color), Colorsilk wins.

    (I have tried Excellence, Hydrience, Garnier, Nice N' Easy, and Preference too!)

    Anyone out there try that new Revlon Colorist dye? The hair on the boxes looks great but that never says much.....

    I have been dyeing my hair blue black for years now.. I just like how it looks with my fair skin.. Also, sometimes my eyes look very green with it, rather than their normal greyish blue.

    Non-blue black over here! Though, on rare occasion, I've been known to bribe the hair dresser into adding a TEEENY bit of burgundy to it for highlights... heh!

    I've always wanted to try raven black hair. The darkest I've gone is chocolate-cherry. But I SO love the look of black hair and blue eyes....

    My agent would prob have a fit..since he books me as a blonde...so now would not be a good time. I'm also afraid I"d try for exotic and and up looking emo instead!

    Yeah I had black hair for years. Surprisingly everyone thought it was my natural color too, even though I'm a natural dirty blond. My favorite was Feria's Starry Night, amazingly enough it wasn't too blue on me, just enough to keep my hair deep black.

    I want to do straight up black, like Nicole Scherzinger. I love her look. But I'm too scared.

    I think you have good skin for it!! You could always highlight it if you didn't like it.

    I'm constantly changing my look, but I love the way I look with black hair. I pay $200 and get it done at the salon though. I have long hair & it's a pain in the ass to do it myself. I end up missing areas and stuff.

    They use Redken dye and it comes out looking AMAZING!
