Top 9 Hair Colors for Dark Skin

Sonal Trivedi

Women of colour unite! There is no end to the possibilities that we have with our beautiful and bold hair, and we do not want to stand here and tell you which colour is right for you and which is not. We do believe that every woman can look good in anything she feels comfortable with. So, go ahead and experiment. However, going by the recent trends, here are the top 9 favourite picks on the best hair colour for dark skin and what you should avoid while going for these colours.

Red

Let us start the list with red at number one. Red is a fiery and powerful hue! Women of colour are not afraid to hide their courage. And this is a colour of passion, romance, and absolute courage, which is why you should take red hair colour for your following highlights. Although some red shades work better on lighter tones, you can pull any hair colour you love. Darker skin tones will be doing their hair a lot of favours if they pick burgundy, red, or cherry. But we have a lot more options! Red is not only beautiful to look at, but it also creates gorgeous contrast as a hair colour for dark skin, which is why it is a perfect friend to you, our dark-skinned goddess. If you're looking for a good red-hair colour, we recommend Streax Professional Hold & Play Funky Colours - Flirty Red.

Blonde

Ask Beyonce and Mariah Carey. They will tell you that women of colour look gorgeous in blonde. Don’t even ask them but just look at them. However, if you're going for the colour blonde, there are a few things we have to keep in mind: that blonde is not heavy on the brown element! Heavier blondes contain too much green and blue that can make warmer skin look ill. We don’t want that look after spending so much money, anxiety, and energy! Be aware that the colour is not very ash-like, making your hair look more unkempt and textured

Don’t go farther than two shades from your natural hair colour if you choose a blonde shade. The reason why you should go for smokey blonde; the colour adds extra depth and volume. It also goes well in almost every hairstyle that we can think of. Also, ladies with a thing for the platinum blonde tones may still experiment with it. However, it is a bold choice and requires high confidence to pull off. You should also keep your hair shorter if you are going for platinum blondes and longer if you are going for darker blonde. Platinum blonde on a short pixie cut is almost magical! The L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion Blonde is a great choice.

Blue Violet

One of the best hair colours for brown skin; we love the contrast of red and brown! There is something magical about darker-skinned women who dare to go violet, and boy, do they pull it off! We love this colour on black and brown skin tones. It simply just adds to the charm. Pair it with a darker lipstick and bang! If you don’t want to go all-in with violet and love a little brown in your hair, then go for a burgundy red hair colour with purple highlights. Try Streax Violet hair colour for this.

Green

Do you want to create the northern lights in your hair? Go for green! Although many women like to keep green on the tip, you can also go for a Billie Eilish-inspired appearance. Your coloured skin would look gorgeous with green hair. Surprisingly, this might just be the best hair colour for brown skin. Here’s a beautiful shade of green in Streax hair colour.

Brown Chocolate

Nothing brings out the beautiful colour on our skin more than the colour it has on its own, and this is why using the same shade as your skin on the mane has to be a beautiful combination. Imagine looking like double chocolate now! Who doesn't want a piece of that (*wink)? However, be very careful to evaluate your hair colour properly.

Gray Gold

This is not to be confused with the platinum look. However, if you want to go for that, we have an excellent suggestion for that as well. However, if you are more into classic greys and want to age like a classy fine wine, the shade you are hoping for is shiny whites! It has the goodness of grey gold, and it simply looks classic. As good as it seems, this happens to be a sadly under-explored possibility. So, this is all the more a reason for you to try it! You might just start a trend! In our opinion, anyone who gravitates towards whites and greys isn’t looking to follow. The Berina A34 is a gorgeous hair colour. 

Pinks

Pink is a lady’s favourite like they say. Whether it's your favourite or not, we still believe that pink can be a great hair colour for dark skin tones; the reason being it is vibrant, and it pops out and adds a feminine touch to your personality. Pink will also take all attention from your beautiful face; this is why you can go for pink highlights. Check out the Streax Pink play!

Mix it up!

From the colours we suggested above, you can make a lot of beautiful combinations. How about mixing pink and red or gold and green, or maybe you should combine your two favourite colours to please yourself! With every colour, you choose, make sure that they are either in the same spectrum of the colours or entirely in contrast to heighten the depth and volume of your hair. However, we recommend against using this tip if you have thin or less hair volume or hair fall. In that case, you should not colour your hair at all, and also, go for hair masks first. That way, you can build your hair enough to get them coloured later.

 

Black

The classiest colour on its own, black is among the best hair colours for dark skin! And black sure goes beautifully for dark-skin women. Naturally, they may have beautiful dark hair or not, but getting it blacker only does you a favour. If you are mainly going through premature greying or suffer from uneven blackness, then you should go for it! Take a look at the Loreal Paris Casting Creme in Black.

 

Last but not least, the colour we recommend the most is the natural hair colour you already have. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who is confident in her skin. Although it is great to experiment with and encourage you to play with your hair, it is also essential to appreciate what you already have! And so, we also recommend that you invest in a great hair mask, which provides your hair with the right love.
