Lindsay Lohan did it and so did Jessica Simpson. We are talking about the sudden obsession with jet black locks. In fact, our own Amrita Arora too went all black after sporting a blonde look for years. So, black clearly seems to be the flavour of the season. That said, one must add that just because we are born with darker hair, it doesn’t mean that we can carry off a jet black look with ease. If you want to join the black bandwagon, here are some tips.* Go slow. Especially if you have been dyeing your hair a lighter shade for a long time now. sudden transformation has a shocking effect which can be avoided if you opt for a gradual change.
* if you are of a darker complexion, avoid the jet black look. It will only make you look darker and your skin will look sallow. Jet black hair looks best on very fair skin.
* For those who have a wheatish complexion, dark hair colours with a natural base (black) and highlights like walnut, honey or copper work wonders.
* Just because black is closest to the natural colour of our hair, it doesn’t mean you can treat your dyed hair as natural hair. Even though the colour doesn’t stand out, you still have to take care of your locks with sunscreen shampoos and conditioners for coloured hair.
q Again, just because black doesn’t give an immediate impression of coloured hair, many like to do it at home. But you must remember that the black hair dyes that you buy off the shelves leave metallic colour residue on your hair. Opt for professional hair colour mixes.
