If you have recently dyed your hair black or were lucky enough to be born with ebony tresses, what you wear can make a lot of difference in the way you look. And not just styles of clothing, but colors can play an important role in your overall "look".

When you're exploring what colors to wear forget about what you favorite color is, instead concentrate on the colors that look best with your hair color and skin tones. One woman reported that every time she wore her favorite blouse in a pale yellow, people would stop her and ask her if she felt all right. She finally glanced herself in a mirror in a store when she was wearing her favorite yellow blouse and she saw something she never saw in the lighting in her home, the fluorescent lighting of the store was making her skin color appear green around the yellow blouse.

Invest in a mirror that has different lighting settings such as daylight, office and more. Your make-up and clothing choices that you make in your natural daylight lit bedroom may look far different when you go to your fluorescently lit office.

Good best for black hair are bold, vivid primary colors. Black and stark white. Primary red, blue, and lemon yellow. Hot pink and members of the blue green family. If your skin is lighter you can look dazzling in navy blue. Icy and cooler pastel colors in the blue and purple family also look stunning with black hair and darker skin. No matter what your skin tone, avoid soft yellows, soft mauves or rose shades and peaches, they will drain the color from your face and make you appear sickly looking.

Now that you know some great choices for your black hair, add a few new items to your wardrobe and get out there and be dazzling for spring.
