Will Black Hair Dye Suit Me?

Hair color is just like that one top you saw on hot-topic and decided to get a matching pair with your friend years ago. You thought it was the best thing ever at first but eventually regretted it and wished you never bought it in the first place.

But unlike the top, you can’t just throw away hair color. You’re stuck with it until it grows or you get a haircut. So, before you run to the store and buy that box of hair colors, here are some things you should consider.

Permanent or Semi-Permanent

When looking for a black hair dye, you must decide if you want a permanent or semi-permanent color. Permanent hair color is just that – permanent. It will not wash out over time and require you to use harsh chemicals to remove it from your hair.

Semi-permanent colors will fade and can be removed with shampoo. For black dye, we suggest opting for a permanent color as semis will leave your hair a green blonde and not the kind you want. Now, let’s see which shade goes well with your skin tone.

Who Should Get Pure Black Hair?

If you are thinking of going for pure black hair color, you should know that it can make you look harsh if not done right. Additionally, it is also a high-maintenance color, so you will need to touch up your roots often.

Pure black hair color looks best on those with olive or dark skin tones and brown eyes. If you have blue or green eyes, you can still rock this color, but you may want to consider adding some highlights to bring out your features.

Who Should Get Sapphire Black Hair?

As for sapphire black, it is a deep blue-black shade that looks gorgeous on all skin tones. It is perfect for those who want to make a statement with their hair color but don’t want to go too crazy. This color especially pops out in people with yellow undertones on their skin.
