Is there a difference between brunette and black hair colors?

I've always thought that i had black hair but someone once told me i had brunette cause they said it's impossible to have naturally dark dark dark black hair.





is this true? whats the difference?Is there a difference between brunette and black hair colors?
The difference between black hair and dark brown hair can be pretty hard to tell. For instance, my mom has deep, dark brunette hair that I think is black, yet she insists is dark brown. Hopefully, these pictures can help you:

Notice the tint in the brown hair color? Is there a difference between brunette and black hair colors?
it is actually true, but it just means you cant have jet black hair unless you dye it, but you can have dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark brown hair, which is considered black, because it looks black.


so, technically speaking, you are a 'brunette' but you would say you have black hair.


i think you cant have black hair because of the pigments in hair or something.


hope this helped :)
It is exceedingly rare to find anyone with true black hair. Most humans have brown hair. Almost all races have some mixtures in them, and a true black is very rare.





Stand under a very strong light, or sunlight is best. Have the light shine from behind so that the light sines through the hair. You will see the true colour of the hair. Brown (in french, ';brunette';) will have some reddish or gold tones in it. Black will not. It will be flat... dark, possibly with a blue highlight to it.





What we call black is very dark brown. Think black coffee -- it is very dark, and we call it black. But put some on a white sheet of paper... it is brown! It's just very dark, it looks black.





No one really looks good in true black hair, unless your skin tones go with it. But that is very rare. If you are Caucasian, you have brown (or brunette) hair.
I dont know.. i've always thought people can have naturally black hair.


If your hair has a slight dark brown/reddish tinge to it in the light, then its brunette.


I thought i had black hair.. but maybe it is just really really dark brown.


Dyes for black hair always have a navy colour in it anyway.
Nah, you can have naturally black hair. Brunette is a shade of brown, even if its REALLY dark, you can usually tell it has some brown. I like black hair, its an interesting alternative. Just as long as you don't dye it so its actually purple black. lol.
When people refer to someone as a brunette, it usually means someone with dark hair, whether it's dark brown or black. And yes, it is possible to have black, almost bluish black hair, though it's more prevalent in some cultures than others.
no. some people have black hair, such as most blacks, Asians, and Hispanics.





brunette is usually brown but sometimes can include black. black is just black. if you go out in the sunlight and your hair has a reddish or brownish tint, it's not truly black but very dark brown or red.
You can have raven dark hair as a natural thing. Take a look at asian folks. Their hair color could not be described as anything else than black. Brunette is a color closer to brown than black. It would be very difficult to confuse the two.
I have black balck hair, so that's wrong, but yes, it's very difficult to find. Black hair dyes, for instance, are always blue black unless they're brown black, which looks much more natural. Brown, however, is totally noticeably lighter.
ok, well your friend was talking about brunette like a dark brown. and yes, its IS possible to have black hair, but the way you can tell its dark brown is if your hair reflects in the light or in the sun.
brunette's very dark brown, and black's like black TV screen or something. yeah, it does not happen often for someone to have really BLACK hair or eyes, but more like very dark brown... black hair can mean black that looks like brown highlights in light.
They're totally different. Someone can have black hair...however, sometimes dark brown hair is harder to recognize because it is so dark. You can tell more in the light what color it is.
What? Yes its natural to have dark black hair.. Brunette is BROWN. So if you have brown hair you are a brunette and if you have black hair you have black hair. I am a brunette.
Yes, its very rare to have naturally black hair


there are soo many different shades of brown, you must have a really dark one.


black hair in the light is purple and sometimes blue.
brunette is a dark brown, and it is possible to have naturally dark black hair, I know plenty of people like that.
its most deffinetly not impossible to have wickkkked dark hair.


just think of spanish people and such...


somebody could have really dark brown hair...


but some people can have black hair.


but its mostly what you think
Brunette is lighter in colour. More like dark brown. Black is the colour of an asian hair like the Chinese or Malaysians.
your hair probably is a very dark brown . you could really tell if you stand in the sunlight . its true your hair could be naturally dark but not black.
i have natural black black hair...





it's because i'm asian
asian hair is usually rele black.


otherwise, it's pretty much just dark brown.
Its not impossible to have naturally dark black hair. wth
