25 black hair colour ideas from celebs to refresh or inspire your new look

Looking for a dramatic change or to refresh your dark locks? We've rounded up some black hair colour ideas from celebrities to help inspire your next salon visit - from subtle balayage to statement roots.

Whether you're looking to add dimension to your black hair or are simply seeking a new way to style it, often turning to the world's A-lister can provide some much-needed inspiration. Indeed, having dark hair can sometimes feel a tad limiting, as lightening - even if just to add a pop of something brighter - can cause hair damage and be overall, quite stripping. Unlike with blonde hair colours, you can't just use a toning shampoo or pastel hair dye to quickly refresh your look.

That being said though, there's still a plethora of shade and style options out there from subtle caramel highlights to daring reds. But don't just take our word for it, we've got plenty of celebrity dos to prove it.
