Before you go black: 3 things to keep in mind before applying that black hair dye

Do you dream of having jet-black locks like Katy Perry or Megan Fox? Black is a bold, dramatic hair colour that will leave you plenty of options when it comes to accessories and clothing choices. Read on for a few important things to keep in mind before you reach for that black hair colour.

##There’s more than one shade of black##

Contrary to what some may believe, there isn’t just one, single shade of black. Black hair colours can come in a range of different hues, from a rich, chocolatey brown-black to a deep violet. The right shade of black hair colour for you depends on your natural colouring.

If you have pink or bluish undertones to your skin, you’ll want to opt for shades of black hair colour with a little bit more warmth to them, as the contrast will be flattering to your cool-toned complexion. Fair, cool-toned skin looks beautiful with a warm, brown toned black that will give a rich colour. You can choose a black hair colour such as the Garnier Black Naturals Shade 3 Brown Black. If you have a medium complexion, you can try the Garnier Color Naturals in the shade 1 Natural black for a warm, complementary shade, while if you have dark skin then you can opt for a true black such as the Garnier Black Naturals Shade 2 Original Black.

##You may need to dye more than once##

Thanks to recent scientific innovations, hair colours for women and men are more effective and healthier than ever. With products such as, Garnier Black Naturals Shade 2 Original Black you can now change your hair much more than the two tones that used to be recommended by stylists. That being said, you shouldn’t expect a miracle - if you have light blonde hair, it might still take more than one round of dyeing to become the raven-haired beauty you’re dreaming of. The good thing is that by using hair colour with formulas full of healthy oils, you can rest assured that you will be strengthening and conditioning your hair. What is even better is now you can colour your hair safely and efficiently from the comfort of your home. Here are a few tips to have a delightful and easy hair colour session at home.

##Black hair needs to be taken care of##

Like any other shade of hair colour, your newly-black hair will need some care to keep it looking as fabulous as possible. Use colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner regularly to keep your tresses healthy and hydrated. Hair masks are another great way to give your locks a little extra love, as they will strengthen and protect individual fibres, preventing split ends and keeping your hair shiny.
