This is just cuz I've been wondering...

Have seen several girls around campus with their hair dyed black. And
I want to tell them, "don't you know that looks awful?" It really
does. Prolly not just because I suspect it's not anywhere near their
natural color so their coloring is all wrong for it, but because to me
it looks like the hair equivalent of painting your car with flat black
house paint. People who have black hair naturally, of course, still
have different color nuances and highlights, and often highlight a
different color in the sun (even take my black cat, for example, who
looks brown in the sun. My desire to henna him so he gets red
highlights is another story, lol). Black hair dye just dyes black
straight across the board, no different, no highlights...So that
started me thinking, would indigo-henna black look better than regular
out-of-a-box black? I mean, henna just stains the hair, rather than
covering the color, so the normal highlights of your hair come
through, so indigo would do the same thing, right? And it'd look a
lot more natural?

A girl I know from choir suddenly has almost-black hair, and it looks
good and natural. I don't know if it's her original color and she
just dyed it before, or if she has dyed it this color but it's lovely.
I almost asked her "do you dye your hair? Do you use indigo? It
doesn't look fake," but I wasn't sure if she'd think that was rude. :)
