Does Jet Black Hair Look Good On You?

I naturally have jet black hair and I am very yellow toned. I don't think it makes me look harsh at all. I actually like the major contrast between my skin tone and hair color.

I've never dyed my hair, but I am seriously considering dying it just for a change. Maybe a honey brown or reddish brown. But I am scared I not be able to get my original jet blackness back. I honestly don't know much about hair dying, but I have heard others say it's hard to get your natural color back. Idk how true that is or if that only applies to lighter colors.

My natural hair color is black. I hated it when I was younger but learned to embrace it over the years.

This might sound extremely odd but I HATE #1 weaves on me. I usually go 1b or 2 (and I stay PS' ing) but im okay with wearing my #1 natural hair.

I think a #1 weave looks ultra witchy/ phony on me but when it's my own, y'all can't tell me shyt :lol:

ETA: I have cool undertones

Does anyone have a side by side of jet black versus blue black?
I have red undertones. My hair is a dull, ashy brown. Hate it.

Thanks Yodie and oneshinyface. The blue black is supposely blacker than jet black. I can see the blue a little in sunlight or light. I thought it would be too much but I like it.

i added some brown extensions to the end of my dreads and i HATED IT. this thread motivated me dye the ends black.

anyway, during the dying process i got some dye on the side of my face and didn't think anything of it. i assumed it would come off in the shower.

NOT!

the hair on the side of my face was dyed super jet blue black. it looked like i had one wolverine sideburn.:nono: i had to get a razor blade and shave the entire right side of my face. and there is still a faint mark there. smh.

All natural!
My hair is off black and looks dull....

I'm thinking about a deep brown- chocolate brown color.
I looooved my deep brown rinse I had in college. My hair looked so pretty...I think I might get it again now that we are talking about this.

the black, I was told, washed me out.
