How would you say that.

I'll dye my hair black.
I'll dye my hair with black colour.
I'll apply black colour to my hair.

Which one of the aforementioned statements are more commonly used by the native speakers of the English language?

Are there any other variants to communicate the same idea high that are more natural?

When you give us more than one option to consider, please number them. Sentence 1 is the most common and natural in BrE. Sentence 2 is unnatural. Sentence 3 is a more wordy way of saying sentence 1. Also, it might not actually mean dyeing your hair. You can apply black colouring to your hair with a pen, wax, food colouring and several other things, all of which are temporary.
 
"I'll dye my hair black" or something similar is most commonly used in American English.
 
And is there any other natural way to express to express the same idea?

If a hairdresser is going to do it, 'I'll have my hair dyed black' is natural.
 
Perhaps the most famous ad in American history appeared in the 1950s. Hair colouring had been done only by hairdressers in salons. Clairol was the first product that enabled people to do it themselves at home. The ad managed not to mention hair at all. It was simply a photo of a woman with the caption: "Does she or doesn't she?"
 
We had that ad in the UK too.
 
If you can remember that ad ....

I can remember (vaguely) the Clairol blondes.
 
AmE also uses 'color one's hair', especially when refering to someone else.

No, she's not a natural redhead. She told me she colors it.

Yes. The same copywriter who did "Does she or doesn't she" also created "If I have only one life to live, let me live it as a blonde" for Clairol. Her hame was Shirley Polykoff.
