Black hair is incredibly alluring and can make you stand out in a crowd — just look at raven-haired celebrities like Becky G, Demi Lovato [1], Rihanna [2], Lana Condor, Ciara, and Megan Fox [3], just to name a few. But it's a common misconception that you have to be a blond or brunette to have fun with your hair colour. In reality, there are ample opportunities to experiment with your black hair colour [4] by adding highlights.
Understandably, people with black hair [5] can feel a bit left out of the conversation when it comes to the latest hair trends [6], especially when many of the predictions focus on sand, toffee, caramel, and mocha hues. Highlights, lowlights, and balayage can add dimension and depth to your dark hair, but it's always helpful to research examples before heading to the salon. Whether you mix in tones of brown, white, dirty blond, red, or even purple, go subtle or spring for something bold, you'll feel like a whole new person with these highlight options for black hair [7].
To get inspiration for your next big hair colour change, we rounded up examples of black hair with highlights ahead.
