Hair gloss/sheen too much

Hi team, I am creating my character based on G8 Female and have added Whitney hair. It's supposed to be black but as you can see from the attached pic it looks more grey, I'm using a distant light for clarity. I've tried sliding sliders, remapping maps on any Surfaces parameter I can find with Gloss or Reflectivity in the name, to little or no effect. Any help please?

Many thanks

Sometimes it helps a lot to make the color bar of the "base color" darker.

That's certainly helped April but still a lot of grey in there. I tried making Glossy Colour black and Glossy Reflectivity to zero also but no go :(

Cracked it! Reduced Top Coat Weight to zero. Happy :)
