Wherever you are, it's likely that most of the people you're surrounded by have black hair. Per Medline Plus, about 90% of the world is born with naturally black or brown hair. However, the current hairstyle trend is a color darker than just your deep chestnut — it goes all the way. Olivia Casanova, an influencer colorist in New York City, specified that "Being this strikingly dark is having a major moment right now," in a conversation with Bustle. Many of her clients are asking for it, she added. The current trend calls for the purest, extreme form of jet black or midnight black.
If you weren't born with black or brown hair, you might want to take a look at your skin tone before you decide to hop on this trend. Olive complexions like Dua Lipa's or Selena Gomez's are well suited for these dark tresses. Darker, warm complexions like Rihanna's are also a good fit for midnight black. These are the skin tones that will have the most natural cohesion with black hair. However, if your skin color does not fall into either category, you can absolutely still rock the trend. Even if it's obvious that you've dyed your hair this bold, gothic blend, take heart — that'll make it actually look all the more angsty.
