Jet black hair is a hair color that showcases the deepest, richest shade of black. The most popular and sought-after hair color in the world – it’s the ideal canvas for any hairstyle you can imagine!
Its unmatched depth, incredible shine, and natural movement make it anything but ordinary and basic. Hair that’s as black as the night sky can convey a statement that exudes elegance and allure.
It doesn’t matter what skin tone you have, as this color is universally embraced by renowned personalities who are known to adore jet black strands – Megan Fox, Rihanna, Priyanka Chopra, and Kim Kardashian.
Dark hair translates to less upkeep, but it doesn’t imply those strands should be neglected! Maintain its health and luster by utilizing moisturizing products and hair treatments at least once a week for a lasting shine.
The only question left is how to rock this captivating hair color. To join the dark side, explore these stunning looks on jet black hair!
#1 Jet Blue and Black Balayage
The striking transformation in color is remarkable yet expected. These two shades have created midnight blue hair as a timeless choice in hair color. With the midnight and jet black hues, the play of light reveals just the slightest shift.
#2 Dynamic Jet Black Hair Color
The long shag cut featuring this jet black hue is truly remarkable.
#3 Stunning and Luxurious Jet Black Hair
I strongly advise consulting with a professional when coloring your hair deep jet black. At-home kits can be tricky and, if used excessively, can lead to color accumulation. To keep your hair color vibrant, always opt for a color-protecting shampoo.
#4 Eye-Catching Styles for Short Hair
Choose a French bob in a deep jet black shade. This specific cut and color combination can be styled in a solid tone yet possesses enough flair to really stand out.
#5 Deep Black With Highlights
Stylist @ The Ivy Hair Salon in El Paso, TXHow would you describe this look?
This client came in with deep black hair dye wanting to take off the black color that she has worn for years.
Any advice for someone considering it?
My biggest recommendation when a client comes in wanting to remove her black is it will be a process. I tell my clients to be patient because it is a slow process but worth the end result. I like to start with a highlight and a brown toner.
Usually, the first hit of bleach gives you very orange color. My main concern is to maintain the porosity of their hair at its best. Olaplex is usually my best friend in the hair industry. It saves! With this highlighting process, clients can enjoy the stages of the box dye removal until their final color is achieved. I kept her in a long layered haircut to show off her new color.
#6 Casual Wavy Bob
Consider a casual wavy bob if you’re in search of a hassle-free style. A bob is one of the most adaptable haircuts because it’s so versatile and suits a wide range of face shapes and textures. Wavy tousles create a relaxed appearance that’s perpetually fashionable.

#8 Vibrant Hair with Pink Accents
How would you characterize this style?
I would characterize this as a raspberry balayage melt. It’s a dark jet black base at the top, melted into some dark magenta highlights moving from the middle of the hair, down into the ends. I cut the hair according to my client who has a finer texture, gave her a blunt cut, with just a few face-framing layers to give a bit of shape. I waved the hair to finish off the style, using a flat iron.
Any tips for someone thinking about it?
Use a sulfate-free shampoo to help maintain the magenta hue longer. Using a leave-in protectant after washing will also help, as well as trying to go longer in between washes, since each time you wash, the color will fade. Dry shampoo helps to extend the wash. This color is for anyone looking to achieve a bold and funky color transition while keeping their natural base and a more subtle grow out.
#9 Luxurious Long Thick Jet Black Hair
When opting for luxurious jet black hair, it’s an excellent choice for women with long, thick locks. Your hair colorist should inquire whether you’re interested in a black shade with a blue undertone or a more neutral black. This is due to the variations in black hues. With jet black hair, regular retouches are necessary, similar to platinum hair. This is because no one has naturally jet black hair, so there will be root regrowth that can become apparent.
#10 Jet Black A-Line Hairstyle
If you’re considering a sleek, jet-black A-line hairstyle, ask for graduation or stacking in the back. This technique creates a more rounded appearance. For a cut with minimal volume, consider a one-length style where the front is longer. There are various options for achieving that perfect black hue. Level 2 or 3 black brown provides a more natural black, while Level 1 black delivers a neutral or blue shine finish.
#11 Stylish Medium Shaggy Cut
This medium shaggy cut on jet black hair is simply stunning. The wavy layers add beautiful dimension and shine to the color. To maintain the style for several days, apply a volumizing cream before blow drying, as less shampooing is recommended. A shine spray enhances the lustrous black hue. Get ready for an abundance of compliments on this beautiful look!
#12 Sleek Black A-Line Bob with Bangs
If you desire a striking and timeless appearance, consider an a-line bob with bangs in glossy, straight black. This classic shade embodies elegance and sophistication and brings a hint of mystery to your overall aesthetic. The rich black tone is versatile and can enhance a variety of skin tones, from fair to deep, making it a popular choice for many women. Color your hair in this polished black hue, and it will elevate the shine and smoothness of your strands, yielding a refined finish. The brilliance of this jet-black shade might diminish over time, so consistent touch-ups may be necessary.
#13 Radiant on Dark Skin
How would you characterize this look?
This look is voluminous, sultry, and ready for a night out on the town! We colored her with a jet black hair dye shine gloss, then styled her long locks with some bouncy waves.
Any tips for someone considering it?
Go for it! Having a dark solid color is such low maintenance compared to other color options. It’s also such a timeless look. Big waves always stay on trend and are so simple to execute. It gives off the look that you’re done up, without trying too hard.
#14 Warm Honey Blonde Highlights
Hop on board the highlight train with this beautifully natural-looking caramel touch on dark hair. Some blonde highlights with deep black hair create an amazing contrast.
#15 Stunning Styles for Curly Hair
A doll you are, a doll your hairstyle should become! Look absolutely adorable and lively with some mid-parted-up jet black curls.
#16 Beautiful Long Sleek Hair
This deep black shade is like midnight gracing the scene, showcasing its charm to all!
#17 Deep Black Lengthy Tresses
Rich black, flowing hair are a color and cut combo made in heaven. Darker tones on longer hair tend to hide imperfections and split ends, prolonging the life of your cut.
#18 Rich Brown to Deep Black Ombre
The smallest detail often leaves the most lasting impact. Gradually embrace the deep black hair coloring trend with the slightest brown to black ombre.
#19 Elegant Jet Black
How would you articulate this look?
What I love about this look is the length of it that isn’t too short nor long. If someone is used to having long hair and wants to make a change, this shoulder length bob would make their haircut functional and stylish. Having a blunt one-length haircut would make your cut sharp, edgy, and trendy.
Any tips for someone considering it?
Going from short to long will be perfect for those people wanting to make their face look longer! Having layers, face frame, or bangs is something you can add to your haircut. Having no layers or minimal layers like this elegant jet black hair bob will make your ends look thicker, perfect for thin-haired girls out there!
