Hair the color of black licorice was a hot commodity on spring fashion runways from Paris to Toronto.
Before asking your colorist to dye your hair black, make sure you have the proper hair texture and skin tone to carry it off.
“Black hair ue eyes look great with blue/black hair, but people with warmer skin tones can carry off the new brown/black shades.”
To add dimension to black hair, Murphy suggests adding chunky, “synthetic” looking highlights throughout the head. Forget about traditional warm gold or red tones – try splices of slick silver or ash blond instead.
If you do choose to go black, remember the permanence of black hair color.
“Black is the most difficult color to remove from hair,” Murphy cautions. “Once the color is in, you basically have to wait for it to grow out, unless you want to severely damage your hair by stripping it.”
