If we call people with brown hair brunettes and people with blonde hair blondes, what do we call people with black hair?

As someone who loves to read and write, I've read black haired characters describes as "ravenettes", so that's how I write them now.

"Brunette" refers to black hair as well. Etymologically speaking, since the 1700s. "Brunette" is a word for hair that is brown all the way up to raven black.

Isn't brunette black hair?

[PhantomMenace22]

I thought brunette was for brown? The two words sound more similar to each other (brown/brunette). Wouldn't someone with black hair be called black/raven haired?

[es20490446e]

@PhantomMenace22 Yeah, I see you are right.

Then I guess it is "black haired".

Ebonies? I think that would refer to people who are dark skinned
