Steps
- Get some shampoo that enhances raven hair. There are shampoos out there for dark brown to black hair. Some work better than others, Aveda has a great one.
- Don't get any highlights. Raven hair looks its most beautiful when it is one solid color. If you feel your hair looks too flat this way, add some black lowlights or dark brown highlights (depending on your hair color) to add a little dimension to hair.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different hairstyles. Try curling your hair with crazy ringlets or ironing it pin straight to really define your hair and give yourself a more striking look. Be sure to take good care of your hair and get regular trims.
- Shiny Hair = Healthy Hair. Dark hair naturally reflects a lot of shine. Treat your locks right. If you use a blow dryer, be sure to use a heat protectant first, and give it a blast of cool air to help enhance shine and set style. Condition hair regularly and pamper it with a hot oil treatment every week or every other week.
- Wear colors that flatter black hair. Dark hair is a good base for almost any color of clothing. Your skin tone and hair color will help determine what colors you look best in.
- Winters look good in black, white, navy, red and hot pink, and icy tones rather than pastels. Avoid subdued tones like beige, orange and gold.
- Summers look good in lavenders, plums, rosy-brown, and soft blue. Pastels and soft neutrals with rosy-pink or blue undertones also look nice. Avoid black and orange.
- Autumn's look good in colors with golden undertones, like camel, beige, orange, gold and dark brown. Avoid colors with blue tones, like navy.
- Springs look good in warm colors like camel, peach, golden yellow and golden brown. Avoid dark, dull colors.
Tips
- Take care of your skin. Keep it clear, healthy and glowing no matter your skin tone.
- Frizzy hair never looks good. Get regular cuts or trims every two months and use a shine serum on the ends to keep them smooth and shiny.
- Play up your best feature---whether it's eyes, cheeks, or lips, but never both at the same time.
Warnings
- Too much time in the sun can hair fade. Prevent this by wearing a hat, and deep conditioning regularly. Healthy hair keeps color better.
