Although dark in pigmentation, black hair is a perfect way to successfully make a statement. This hair colour is a classic when we look back through the decades at what shades were trending and we still see that it's a common occurrence today!
Black is a super versatile shade, especially for hair as it sits well within a two-tone look, whether you opt for an equal section, something larger or even just to add some depth with a small slither, or you can use it beautifully as an all-over application.
Although our affiliates and ambassadors are crazy for vibrant colours, they understand the magic that adding something like Manic Panic Raven can bring to a look and transform it! Check out some Manic Panic looks using our black semi-permanent hair dye, Raven below.
Black hair is often classified as the colour that brings the drama, but we kind of love that! Some may find that black can be a little overpowering, but it can do just the opposite once you’ve found the perfect cut and way for you to wear this colour. Within the Manic Panic black hair gallery, you’ll find an extensive collection of ideas to inspire you for your own black hair colour journey.
This particular hair colour has been around for decades, we’ve seen blondes join the dark side on a regular basis and thrive because of the power and glamour that having shiny black hair brings. Glossy locks have never been an issue when it comes to using a black hair colour as it is profoundly known for adding shine and depth to your strands.
Should I Go Black With My Hair?
Achieving a new black hair colour is one of the easiest hair transformations you could make, there are no particular requirements but of course, it is important to know how to do it whilst keeping your hair healthy.
It’s true, there has been a real stigma when it comes to dyeing your hair black, but if you’re doing it the right way there’s no need to worry. Many home-dyeing disasters end in a black box dye application and this is where all those warnings may come in as removing black box dye from hair is not an easy task and can be extremely time-consuming.
This isn’t to say that black hair has to be a forever choice; our beautiful shade of black is still very much a strong semi-permanent contender in our colour range and creates the fiercest and sexiest results that will keep your locks on trend for however long you want!
If you’re considering a brand new elegant look, a black hairstyle is a super chic route to go down and suits pretty much everyone. For those that have fairer skin, black hair will have you rocking some snow-white vibes due to the unmissable contrast between the light skin tone and dark hair shade. It will also make certain features such as blue eyes really pop! Whereas if you have a warmer skin tone, black can help to draw out those rich warm undertones within your complexion.
Spice Up Your Jet Black Look
As the deepest colour, black hair caters to those seeking either elegance or a more gothic appeal.
We love seeing the incorporation of black in those more dimensional haircuts such as mullets and shag cuts especially when it sits with another natural shade such as blonde. It even sits well with more vibrant shades such as a hot pink or neon orange.
If you’re set on the all-over black dye application, you might consider adding some subtle highlights throughout your hair of either bold contrasting colours to add some vibrancy or even colours with a similar depth such as a warm red or auburn tone. Adding subtle highlights to any shade creates dimension in the colour and adds an extra punch of colour which is always fun!
Hopefully, we’ve given you an insight into what you can expect from your aspiring black locks, and have learnt that it isn’t as scary as you may have once thought. Take this courageous jump and add some elegant spice to your whole look with a new black hair colour transformation.
