.As a tween that came of age in the '00s, there was actually nothing I wanted greater than to dye my hair every colour of the rainbow. With their flame-red streaks, pop-punk princesses Avril Lavigne and also Hayley Williams were my elegance icons-- but my moms and dads didn't entertain the thought for also a nanosecond. Since I'm 30, I often tend to assume they were actually perhaps right-- dull, sure, however straight I can depend on one hand the variety of opportunities my brunette-- practically black-- hair has actually been actually touched by bleach. (I was actually well into my 20s the first time I colored my hair, and it is solid, thick, and also healthy and balanced as can be.) Nonetheless, I will be lying if I stated that I failed to wish to explore my shade, and as Refinery29's senior writer with a propensity for all traits appeal, I've possessed a front-row chair to basically every hair colour fad to poise our FYPs: That being said, just one tone has actually captured my eye in recent years: "Costly" brunette.
