What is is black hair considered brunette?

It's a common misconception that black hair is a type of brunette hair. However, Black hair and Brunette hair are distinct hair colors.

• Black hair is characterized by its very dark, almost blue-black shade. It contains a high concentration of eumelanin, the pigment responsible for dark brown and black colors.

• Brunette hair encompasses a range of brown shades, from light brown (often called "mousey brown") to dark brown. While dark brown hair can be quite deep in color, it is usually not as intensely dark as black hair.

In summary, while both black and brunette hair fall under the spectrum of dark hair colors, they are not the same. Black hair is its own category, separate from the various shades of brown that define brunette hair.
