Black hair can never go out of style and we can always rely on naturally dark-haired A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Naomi Campbell and Jenna Ortega to ignite a renewed love for the colour. It's also lends itself to the rise of the gothic aesthetic which has seen a massive uptick since Jenna's modern take on Wednesday Addams aired on Netflix.
Domenico Casella, senior stylist and colourist at Neville Hair & Beauty, has noted the trend too, 'Goth beauty is proving particularly popular at the moment due to a combination of factors. The first is the recent release of Netflix's Wednesday. Then we have the resurgence of the #vampy look on TikTok, and finally the awards season where many celebrities like Doja Cat and Hannah Monds are opting for dark looks on the red carpet.'
And for that reason it ranks highly as one of the best hair colours to try this year. It's a classic colour that always leaves room for play, if you're ever looking to spruce things up. Black or very deep dark brown hair doesn't have to be boring, with a few touches of red, a pretty balayage or even a bit of blue, you can completely transform your look. Below, we've complied seven celebrities that effortlessly pull off black hair with highlights, so get ready to fall in love with dark hair all over again.
