.As a tween who ripened in the '00s, there was nothing at all I desired more than to dye my hair every color of the rainbow. With their flame-red touches, pop-punk princesses Avril Lavigne and also Hayley Williams were my elegance images-- but my moms and dads failed to amuse the notion for even a nanosecond. Now that I am actually 30, I tend to think they were actually most likely right-- boring, certain, yet right I can easily count on one palm the lot of times my brunette-- nearly dark-- hair has actually been actually contacted by bleach. (I was properly into my 20s the very first time I tinted my hair, and it is actually solid, strong, and also healthy and balanced as can be.) Having said that, I will be actually lying if I stated that I really did not would like to explore my different colors, and also as Refinery29's elderly author along with a fondness for all points charm, I have actually had a front-row seat to essentially every hair colour pattern to elegance our FYPs: That being claimed, just one shade has actually captured my eye in recent years: "Expensive" brunette.
