Should I dye my hair Black?
20/f
Alright, so I hate these kinds of questions. I'm not too much of a girly-girl, and I always look over these questions, but I'm stuck. I'd really appreciate it if some of you could look at this thoroughly, and then give me an appropriate response.
I'm a natural blonde with green eyes and pale skin.
I've been searching for some way to make myself stand out more. Not specifically for a lot of attention or anything, I just want to spice my look up a little bit. You know, change things.
I want to dye my hair dark. I've heard that people with pale eye-color who have dark hair have extremely noticeable eyes. Like it makes them "pop".
But I was just wondering, since I've got pale skin, would black be too much of a contrast? Should I just go for a dark brown instead? It's just that black is very permanent, considering it doesn't fade, and you can't just change it if you change your mind afterwards. You'll have to wait 'till it grows back out again to do anything to it. So that being said, I would like to know an honest opinion on the matter. I would hate to be stuck with black hair if it looks shitty on me, wouldn't you? And bleaching it back would just horribly damage it; as I just said up above, you're pretty much stuck with it once you do it.
Any advice is welcome, thank you.

Dyed black hardly ever looks good, or real, so I'd suggest not going this way.
What about building up a wardrobe of interesting eyeglasses - you can get them even if you don't need them, or a wardrobe of scarfs?

Definitely don't dye it black. Black-dyed hair always looks super fake for whatever reason, and it'll definitely be too harsh with pale skin. If anything, go for dark brown, but keep in mind that if you have blonde eyebrows, it'll look strange.

I dyed my hair black a few years back. I've got blue eyes and pale skin.
Firstly, once you go black, it's almost impossible to go back. It's so hard to get back to your natural hair colour, and bleaching damages it so badly. In fact, I've just cut out the last of the damage 2 years later.
Also keep in mind that black does fade, but not in a good way. It starts off nice and glossy, but eventually gets that sort of matte raggedy look to it.
I also failed to consider the fact that in the winter my skin would be even more pale. I ended up looking like a ghost or a goth. Not good for me.
Normally when I dye my hair, I tend to go for reds or dark brown. I've stopped, though, because I just can't be bothered with it anymore!
If I might suggest adding some lowlights, that would probably look really nice. Strawberry blonde is always a really cute colour, too!

I have very pale skin and very dark eyes, and black hair washes me right out and magnafies every imperfection in my skin. I feel dead unless I wear make up to smooth out my complection everyday.
I have still dyed my hair black and dark purple a few times, but I know it means I'll go through more blush and foundation in the next month!
You can change your black hair though, although you do need to wait a few weeks and have a very smart colourist at a salon do it for you - it is possible, just costly.
It's a risk. If you really hate it, it's gonna cost you a few weeks of waiting and an expensive few hours at the salon. I choose to take the risk and I've liked having very dark hair, but in the end you'll just need to make the choice! Good luck.
