Darker black hair?

Why is it that when people dye their hair black it looks darker than natural black hair or is it just me?

Darker black hair?

Yeah! I agree dyed black hair looks heaps darker. I think it's because hair is naturally bleached/lightened from the sun so what starts off as black hair becomes browner over time so dyed black hair looks darker because its just pure black.. no light bits! does that make sense?

I think everyone pretty much clarified it for you. There's no such thing as naturally black hair. Look at it this way: black's a shade, not an exact color. What most people consider to be black hair is actually VERY dark brown hair.

And yeah, the chemicals in the dye give it that 'much darker' effect.

well, very few people have a very black color, if the person is quite white, it's gonna look even darker beacause of the contrast.
