This is because black hair favors different skin types, being ideal for those who seek to harmonize the look or for those who want to create more contrast. In the long locks, the neutral black hair and the bluish black hair draw attention wherever they go, even more so if the strands are full of shine! We've put together 20 photos of long black hair to inspire you and, in addition, we'll give you some tips on how to shine your hair. Check it out!

Neutral black hair x bluish black hair: which one to choose?

If you think that all black hair is the same, know that it's a myth! This hue has several shades to adopt, and the most sought after are neutral black hair and bluish black hair. Neutral black hair is the tone that gives a super natural effect on the color, it is the famous classic black!

Blue-black hair, on the other hand, has a cooler tone with the characteristic bluish highlights. Super modern, right? When investing in coloring, remember to bet on a dye that hydrates the strands so that the bluish reflections are super bright.

Diva Tip: If you are in doubt between neutral black hair and blue black hair, there is a platform that can help you with that decision! Teste Sua Cor, by Cor&Ton, is a virtual tester that gives you the possibility to see how a color would behave on your hair.

To use the platform, you must take or send a well-lit photo of yourself so that the result is as close to reality as possible. After that, choose the colorings that you are in doubt and try them out. In the options, you can select the black color and choose from the black options available, such as Black 2.0 Cor&Ton which pulls towards a more neutral black and Bluish Black 1.0 Cor&Ton which has bluish reflections in the coloring.

Take a shine bath every two weeks to make your long black hair shine

The shine bath is an essential mix to bring back life to dyed hair, including black hair! Over the course of washing and due to daily damage, long black hair loses the characteristic shine of the color, that sparkling shine that was in the strands on the day of the change of look.

That's why the shine bath is so important: with the use of a toner compatible with your tone and a white hydration mask, the color is restored and the shine revived. Also, making a glitter bath is a very easy task! The technique can be done on both blue-black hair and neutral black hair, ideally you choose the right toner for each shade.

Create a hair schedule to maintain the shine of long black hair

Once you adopt black hair into your long hair, it is even more important that you follow a black hair schedule. This serves not only to maintain shine, but also to restore the health of the hair! The hair care routine must be done even before dyeing your hair black to ensure that the strand will withstand the chemical components of the dye. After renewing the look, it's important to hydrate, nourish and rebuild your hair so that it stays healthy and, to maintain the characteristic shine of black hair, hydration will be your strands' best friend.

What is hydration?

Hydration is the first step of the capillary schedule. She is responsible for restoring water lost to wires by external damage, such as sun rays, and chemical procedures, such as coloring. The result is super hydrated, shiny and soft hair, whether neutral or neutral or blue-black. The tip is to look for masks that have coconut oil, argan oil, linseed, avocado, aloe vera and D-Panthenol, which are potent assets to perform hair hydration.

What is nutrition and rebuilding?

In addition to hydration, nutrition and reconstruction are very important steps to keep your hair healthy. So, be sure to do these hair schedule steps, diva! Nutrition restores oils and reconstruction is essential to repair color damage by returning proteins to the strands. Thus, your long black hair is free of breakage, split ends - which can appear more on long strands -, frizz and other hair problems!

Wash your long black hair in lukewarm or cold water to keep your hair shiny

When washing long black hair, it's very important that you clean it with warm or cold water, okay? These two temperatures are not harmful to the scalp or wires, unlike hot water, which should be avoided as much as possible as it leaves the hair dull and dry. Also, washing your hair with hot water frequently can even fade your black hair color! Therefore, the tip is to wash your hair with warm water and finish with cold water to return the shine to the strands.
