@chihuahuamom, when I first decided to let my hair go gray, I had it frosted and that was a good transition for me. You might think of highlights, reverse frosting, something like that - with a lighter color.

It looks so aging to see  an older Woman who colors her hair just a blanket dark color.  It doe s not look good or natural. Few people have one dimension hair color, especially after age 60.   At least put in  some foils of highlights or something to break up the color. If you do not like the grey, fine, but stark black hair like the model Mary on  Denim and CO. now looks so bad.

Wow! I'm so surprised to see this topic discussed! I just got my spikey pixie colored the blackest of black! It looks FABULOUS! I get so many compliments! What makes it look good is the fantastic shine it has! Especially in the sun. Sorry if you don't like very dark hair but thats just your opinion remember.

This thread isn't about not liking very dark hair.  It's about people who have hair dyed much too dark to be flattering to their own skin tone.   See examples in Post # 59.

This is why I like henna. It doesn't darken your natural color (I am brunette) and it makes my grey look like highlights.

@TsukikoI saw someone at my physician's office last week with that exact same color. It was so beautiful that I mentioned to her how pretty she looked. She shared with me that it was actually henna. Loved it....

Cool! If anyone is interested I use mehandi.com's Rajasthani Twighlight.

I don't have gray hair to cover up (despite being in my early 60s) but I color my hair to brighten and add shine as well as to bring out the red in my medium auburn hair just a wee bit more than nature does.

My stylist tells me (and I agree) that I don't need to add highlights (unless I want the striped look some people like) because my hair has enough of the brown/red/blond shades already & the color she adds looks different on the natural shades. My hair always ends up looking like it has natural, subtle highlights.

It seems to me that some hair coloring must completely cover and give a single shade while others do not.

I think with the right complexion, black hair or very dark brown hair can look really good, and I certainly can see how your hair probably shines and looks really healthy......I can think of some actresses that look really good with very dark hair......I love it, I just can't wear it!.

i always use a demi becuase if it does get too dark it will wash out.   i haven't done permananet dyes except for some ombre highlights or bayalage . i have done my own but it is very time-consuming . the chemicals are inexpensive.  you have to find a good colorist to do bayalage. i dumped my stylist becuase she did a really bad two tone bayalage 6 months ago.  it looked like a very amateur attempt at ombre with the light part a very yellow level 9 and the root a very ash level 6.  i was so annyoyed!  partly because i knew how quickly the stages my hair lifts and i have told her i lift very quickly.   i wanted to have her fix it but decided she would probably run a toner through it, which means more 20v, so i waited a few days, ran a temp color through it and stopped booking with her and just continued doing the roots with a demi.

i do love to see true black hair with the blue shine!  that is just gorgeous

If you have the Liquidation Channel...check out host Dan Dennis.  Perfect example of ruinous hair color.  It's laughable. He would look normal (somewhat) if he put the bottle down.
