.As a tween who came of age in the '00s, there was actually nothing at all I really wanted more than to dye my hair every color of the rainbow. Along with their flame-red touches, pop-punk princesses Avril Lavigne as well as Hayley Williams were my beauty images-- but my parents didn't entertain the thought for also a millisecond. Now that I'm 30, I often tend to presume they were probably straight-- dull, sure, however straight I can easily rely on one palm the number of times my brunette-- almost black-- hair has been touched by bleach. (I was well into my 20s the first time I tinted my hair, and also it is strong, dense, and healthy and balanced as could be.) Having said that, I will be actually lying if I mentioned that I didn't intend to experiment with my colour, and as Refinery29's elderly author with a preference for all traits elegance, I have actually had a front-row seat to essentially every hair shade fad to style our FYPs: That being mentioned, just one color has recorded my eye in recent years: "Pricey" brunette.
