Any image has two sides; ideal options simply do not exist. The main disadvantages of black hair are as follows.
- The wrong shade can visually add several years, so the choice of paint should be entrusted to a professional stylist.
- Any imperfections on the skin of the face will be very conspicuous. Redness, blue discoloration and other problems stand out in contrast.
- Changing your hair color to a lighter color will be problematic in the future. Black hair lightens gradually, this process is long and expensive.
- A thin face will look much worse due to the lengthening effect of the oval.
- Black hair requires serious maintenance. The purchase of special lines for styling and nourishing curls is inevitable. You need to constantly monitor so that the strands do not fade. The condition of the hair is strongly affected by improper nutrition.
- A radical change in hair color will entail a lot of new things. Doing makeup according to the usual patterns will no longer work. For a harmonious look, you will have to look for new options.
- You should always make sure your hair is combed and neat. Any negligence immediately catches the eye and spoils the whole look.

Experts assure that coloring in this color will entail a lot of changes. Owners of a soft and quiet character should not go on such an experiment. Excessive focus can lead to psychological difficulties.

Painting rules
Dyeing black is not as easy as it might seem. Depending on the shade, craftsmen use different approaches. It is better to choose a specific color with the help of a stylist so that the experiment does not become a reason for sadness. The basic rules for dyeing hair into a brunette are as follows.
- If there are doubts, then you should not immediately go for drastic changes. Use a tinted mousse or balm. The hair will darken, and it will be possible to assess the feasibility of further dyeing.
- The instructions on the dye will help keep the hair structure intact. The composition must be properly diluted and kept on the strands for the allotted amount of time. Failure to comply with the standards makes hair brittle and leads to hair loss, dandruff.
- Use only gentle professional products for coloring and further care.
- When dyeing at home, it is worth ensuring that the dye on the hair warms up. To create a greenhouse effect, tie your hair with plastic and a warm towel. This rule is relevant for paints without ammonia in the composition. This is not necessary with more aggressive agents.
- When staining the roots, try not to touch the length. If this option is not possible, then do the procedure literally 5-7 minutes before washing your hair.
- It is recommended to treat the forehead and ears with a fat cream before the procedure. This will prevent the dye from absorbing into the skin.
Use a hair smoothing agent the day before dyeing. As a result, the color will be more saturated and even.

How to care for curls?
It is strictly forbidden to use irons, hair dryers and other devices for thermal styling immediately after staining. High temperature has a bad effect on the hair structure in any situation, and they are already previously weakened by paint... Such recklessness can lead to a loss of shine and health. Brittle hair will quickly split, then you need to go to a specialist. Trichologists recommend not to do styling for at least 3 weeks after the procedure. Proper care will keep your hair looking beautiful and healthy. Here are the top guidelines.
- Use shampoo and conditioner for colored hair.
- After washing, gently blot the strands with a towel that absorbs water well. Rubbing and tangling hairs is strictly prohibited.
- When using a hair dryer, do not completely dry your hair, leave it slightly damp. This way they will be less affected by hot air.
- Try to use a wide-toothed comb for brushing more often, especially on wet strands. Such a tool practically does not violate the structure.
- Refuse to use heat rollers.
- Care products must be chosen very carefully. The use of gels and varnishes for styling should be minimized.
- Use sunscreen to protect your hair. It is especially important in the hot season, but it is worth taking care of this in winter as well.
- Avoid tight and sleek hairstyles. Dark hair looks great when it is voluminous.
- To improve shine, you can rinse your hair with strong tea leaves.
- Update your hairstyle in time, especially if the roots are light.
