I dyed my hair black!🎱🖤

I was nervous for this decision but I really like it! It’s not completely black, it’s got highlights at the top. My natural hair is brunette and I loved it but I wanted a change. I won’t lie I kinda miss it but I’m loving this look. #blackhair #dyehair #blackhaircolor #changed my hair color

... Read moreWhen I decided to ditch my natural brunette for a bold black, it wasn't a choice I made lightly! The 'itch had to be scratched,' as they say, and I found myself constantly searching for inspiration on black hair transformations. If you’re wondering 'should I dye my hair black?' let me share my journey and what I've learned. Before you commit, think about the big picture. Black hair is a commitment! While it can instantly make your hair look incredibly shiny and healthy, it's also one of the harder colors to remove if you change your mind. Consider your skin tone – a deep, cool black often complements cooler undertones, while a softer, warmer black might suit warmer complexions. And if you’re thinking about adding dimension, like my striking blonde highlights around my face and on top, make sure to plan that with your stylist. This adds a beautiful contrast and can prevent the color from looking too flat or harsh. One thing I quickly learned is that black hair dye fading is a real concern. To keep that beautiful, rich black, I’ve found a few tricks that really help. Using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair is an absolute must. Cold water rinses help seal the cuticle, locking in color and shine. I also occasionally use a color-depositing black conditioner to refresh the shade between salon visits, which helps combat any faded black hair dye. For those looking for the darkest black hair dye or the best black hair dye, I recommend doing patch tests and looking for professional-grade options known for their longevity and vibrant results. Styling black hair is so much fun! The contrast of my blonde highlights really pops, especially with waves or curls. I love experimenting with different updos that showcase the dimension and movement. If you're wondering 'is black hair attractive,' I can confidently say I feel more confident and chic than ever. It's a powerful color that can really enhance your features and give you a dramatic new look. Whether you have subtle crown highlights on black hair or a full head of glossy black, owning your look is key. Overall, my transition from brunette to black with those striking blonde highlights has been an exciting one. It’s certainly a change, but I’m embracing every moment of it. If you’re on the fence about going dark, I hope my experience gives you some insight and inspires you to take the plunge!

I DYED MY JET BLACK HAIR WITHOUT USING BLEACH…
Ngl, I didn’t think my hair stylist could achieve this vibrant red color on my jet black hair without using bleach. But she did!!! I wanted to avoid bleach at all costs, and this was the result. This has been my color for a few months and I get sooooooo many compliments! We used L’Oreal’s HiCol

I got my hair dyed… and I hated it
Hey sweeties! I wanted to share my recent story of how I went to get my hair dyed darker. So I knew that I wouldn’t be able to go home for fall break since I would be going to Dublin to visit my boyfriend and my hair would be super overgrown by then. I decided that I could do a little balaya

My natural hair is brown, in 2022 I was supposed to get “highlights” but the person who done them messed it up and bleached my whole head! So I stayed blonde until 2024 when 3-4 months into the year I decided to dye it black. A few months later now and I went red!❤️ #changed my hair color #lemon8
