Why can't they make black hair dye that looks natural?

When I was a kid people used to ask me if that was my real hair color-it was so black it looked blue in certain lights. But as I've gotten older I've gotten gray, and so I've been dying it, but dying it dark brown. Today I dyed my hair black because when the brown grows out it looks reddish, and it looked horrible. I decided to go back to my natural color, black. But it looks so fake and one dimensional! They make brown and blonde dyes with highlights so that it doesn't look so fake, but are there any black ones that don't look so fake? This time I used Garnier Nutrisse, and I like the black, but it just looks so flat. What can I do? Don't suggest going to a salon, I can't afford it!

I always thought that black looked harsh and even more so as a person ages. You are right it doesn't look natural at all.

You may find that the black will *wash out* a bit where you are the grayest and that will give you the highlights that you seek. Gray does NOT hold the color as well.

The other option is to go back to the brown but make absolutely sure that the brown is more of an ash brown not one with red highlights

First of all, I'm sure you have plenty of money to go to a salon. Getting your hair colored is not expensive... I don't know why some women are so lazy!

Second of all, I'd suggest dying your hair "dark black-brown". Revlon Colorsilk, which is a fantastic hair dye, makes that shade (not sure if it's exactly called that) and it usually looks black in most lights but it also gives it more life. That shade is always sold out where I live, it's popular. It looks amazing and a lot more natural than just plain black hair dye. It will make your hair shiny instead of matte also which is what black dye usually does to hair, turns it matte. Good luck.
