Black women are always switching up and trying all kinds of different things with their hair. From straight hairstyles, kinky hairstyles, hairstyles with weave and natural hairstyles — the options of hairstyles for black women are seemingly limitless. But what about hair color for black women?
While hair color can seem a bit scary, especially if your hair has been previously processed or chemically straightened, it doesn’t have to be. An experienced hair colorist makes adding color is another bold way black women can experiment and get creative with hair.
If you prefer to experiment with temporary hair color, products like this hair color wax on Amazon make it super easy and inexpensive to add some fun color to your hair. To help inspire your hair color leap, here are some fun hair color ideas for black women.

Purple hair color is always a good idea. This particular look was made possible with this natural hair wax you can scoop on Amazon. Although temporary, hair wax produces vibrant hair color on dark hair, and made of natural ingredients.

Now this is pretty. Whats fabulous about dreads is because your hair is likely unprocessed, perhaps it will take will to permanent or temporary color. Talk to your hair stylist to learn more.
