.As a tween who came of age in the '00s, there was actually nothing at all I preferred greater than to dye my hair every color of the rainbow. With their flame-red streaks, pop-punk princesses Avril Lavigne and also Hayley Williams were my charm images-- yet my parents really did not occupy the thought for also a millisecond. Now that I am actually 30, I tend to assume they were possibly straight-- boring, sure, however right I can easily trust one hand the number of opportunities my brunette-- almost dark-- hair has been contacted by bleach. (I was actually effectively right into my 20s the first time I tinted my hair, as well as it is actually tough, strong, and also well-balanced as may be.) However, I would certainly be actually lying if I mentioned that I didn't would like to experiment with my shade, and also as Refinery29's senior writer with a propensity for all points elegance, I've had a front-row seat to essentially every hair color style to grace our FYPs: That being actually claimed, only one tone has recorded my eye recently: "Expensive" brunette.
