What’s So Special About Celebrity Black Hair?

by Shei Ming-Ki Why is it that some of the hottest Hollywood stars, the usual blonde suspects, opt to cover it all up and go for dark raven black hair?  Let's look at some "Black Hair Case Studies" and see what these sexy stars have in common.

Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson, Courtney Cox, Jennifer Connelly, Salma Hayek (natural dark beauty), and Paris Hilton. All of these ladies are known to have had their hair dyed a jet black color at least a couple of times during their reign.  Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, and Jennifer Connelly are often seen with dark black hair whereas Lindsay, Christina, Ashlee, and Paris are usually blonde and have created quite a stir when they go dark.

Why is there such a shock effect when these vixens turn from light to dark? I mean, isn't hair just hair? NO! Biologically speaking, hair was grown to keep our skin protected from weather, sun, and external foreign bodies. However, since humans have found other ways to protect their skin, through sunblock, blankets, and clothing, hair has become more than just a protective device - it has become one of our body's best fashion assets! So how is black hair a fashion asset? Well, black hair is a bold fashion statement. It represents mystery, fascination, and power as seen in stars such as Jolie, Fox, and Connelly. These women are mysterious and bewildering and their black hair is sexy and sultry. One can never tell what they are capable of. From acting in a thriller, drama, action, getting married in secret, or adopting children in foreign countries, these black-locked women cannot be underestimated. What about the usual blonde suspects going black as seen in Lohan, Aguilera, Simpson, and Hilton? Day and night! What a magic show! These women are known to live a bit on the wild side - they are unpredictable and like to experiment and try new things. If you know hair color then you know that it is easy to go from light to dark but much harder the other way around. So these women who risk going from blonde to black are stepping in dangerous territory - right where they belong! These women are the friends that you want at the party because they are the life of the party.
