    hmm i would say like a

    darkish blue or like a reddish-ivory

    kind of color.

    by all means do NOT put blonde highlights

    in black hair... and try to stay away from the thick

    chunky highlights if ur going to do the reddish color,

    go with thin lines all the way down for whatever

    color u wind up using.

    well hope i helped a lil lol

    good luck!

    Red, brown and blond are always your options. Regardless of what you pick, make sure the black you use compliments it. If you go blond, about the only color that will work is going to be platinum. Is that the look you are going for? If not you will look smokey or skunky. Skin and eye colors play apart as well. There's always a reddish brown...it can look quite natural and not show new growth near as bad.

    Well whatever you do don't get blonde highlights cuz they dont look good with black.

    Seriosly the colors that look good with black are red and brown, and if you don't wanna have the common look maybe you can try highlighting your hair differently, like just higlight the ends of your hair.

    Ok

    I have like black/dark brownish hair

    One day I decided I wanted

    to try like Blonde Carmel,and Brown highlights.

    It looked good "THEN"

    But now,you can see where my new

    hair is starting to grow back....

    (Like at the ends to middle,it's like LIGHT Brown hair

    with blonde and stuff)

    and at the top,at my roots it is pitch black

    with some dark brown streaks in it

    which is my natural hair.

    I HATE them!

    I wouldn't advise you to get blonde highlights...

    Maybe a dark carmel color would look good in

    your hair,or a lightish blackish brown

    would really look good!

    Hope I helped!!! - M i M i

    Nothing really matches with black, anything you do will be a major contrast except brown or dark red. Go though magazines and find something you think will suit your skin tone. No one here know what your skin tone is and also your personal style...so good luck!

  • Sometimes black hair gets light red highlights so if you got red it would look natural and cute

    i think brown would be nice maybe red or a dirty blonde but i think a very yellowish blonde is a little too "out there"
