a blow-up of [**this**](http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=901860) glery image, and sortof an example of what you can do with some adjustment and a bump/spec map. keep in mind that the character is caucasian, so i didnt make the hair texture *completely* black for this render - just much blacker than the base tex. if you wanted jet-black, you would need to desaturate it a little more, perhaps darken it a *notch*. but very, very few people have true black hair - even asians. if you look close its just a *very* dark shade of brown.
