Dark hair is beautiful, and definitely making a comeback! Think of rich & dark shiny hair, seen on mega-stars like Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, and Rihanna. Be advised-this is a very hard color to pull off. You have to have an olive skin tone or be in your early 20’s for this one. (Otherwise, it’s a very aging color and can look harsh.) Done right though, you can look exotic and sexy. Raven hair is more dramatic and looks best simple and not overdone or highlighted. Also its best to get clear glosses to maintain the shine.

i don’t think age has anything to do with whether you can pull off this hair color or not. many women, are born with black hair, and it looks great on them throughout life. there are tons of celebs with dark hair who don’t lighten it as they get older: penelope cruz, salma hayak, katherine zeta jones, kris jenner, etc. it’s not about age. it’s about skin tone.

oh, forgot to say, it’s also about facial features. if someone has very dainty features or features that don’t really stand out, these can get overshadowed by black hair. it would be best for these women to go light. and it’s also just a matter of preference and what people like.

I have to agree with Ally. I’m not in my 20’s and have tried to go lighter but it washes me out and takes away my look. I don’t have olive skin either.
However, my hair is black and my girl puts the darkest brown highlights around my face.
