Have you tried entering "black hair" in our translator to see what it says?

Well, I see that the translator says "pelo negro", so that won't work! Many times the word "moreno" is used to indicate dark hair, but it frequently also denotes a dark complexion. ("el chico es moreno; la chica es morena"- the boy is brunette; the girl is brunette). I have seen "pelinegro" used (as in: "el chico es pelinegro; la chica es pelinegra" - "the boy is dark-haired; the girl is dark-haired), but I don't know if this would fly with your teacher. Do you have something in your textbook? Is there a vocab list somewhere?

I don't really want to contradict your Spanish teacher but it is said as "pelo negro". Maybe you could say: El pelo es negro (The hair is black).

Yes, it is dangerous to contradict the teacher! There's probably a specific word that is being taught in class that the teacher wants to stress. - mountaingirl Nov 3
