Tips to maintain the black of your black denim:
Wash jeans, not that frequently:
Washing them causes premature fading. Machine wash is a kind of sin. Hand wash is the better thing to do. Spot washing is the better option and holds off washing denim a little longer. And if you have to wash denim in the machine, then ensure it is on a gentle cycle instead of rigorous spins.
Use Cold Water:
Hot water removes stain but so it does to dye. So the advice is to wash black denim in cold water.
Color protecting detergent:
Many detergents are available on shelves that are made specifically for dark clothes.
Wash with dark clothes only: as you do with your whites wash black denim with dark colors such that it helps in avoid fading.
Wash the denim inside out and it reduces contact with soap and water, rubbing with other clothes that helps in protecting the color for a long time.
Avoid dryer: Heat makes denim fade faster so better to dry your denim turned inside out in the air on the drying rack, away from sunlight.
To be very honest, well faded black denim is a fad these days and kind of the biggest trend so worry less and enjoy wearing your sexy black denim.
