Arrrgh! Black hair help needed!

Hi
I would suggest you to start by a black + white + brown mix to obtain a dark gray. The brown is here to guve some natural feel, and to warn up a little. This grey has to be the shade you want for the most clear hair (on the top so) and then you can darken all this with quite diluted dark layers. Doing so will avoid the unatural feeling that white highligth can give. Adding the brown is important, you can as weel try by adding your skin shade, can give interesting looks.

Good luck

for european black hair I pretty much do the same as malhorme, for asian jet black hair I use very very very dark blue as my inital stage, then highlight then brown and black wash over it. probably overcomplicates it but meh, it;s habit by now:)

I'm a little different too- for asian hair I start with a pure black, generally lighten all over with an almost black, then highlight only in the very high points with lighter shades of cold grey with a tiny bit of blue in it. I never take it all the way up to white. Black should still be mostly black, and I generally wash over any drybrushing I do to tone down the chalkiness.

I think the hair looks good now dude. Also, nice work on the rest of her!

She looks grand!
