I call myself a hair-colour chameleon. What I mean by this is: I am simply quite incapable of sticking to one hair colour for more than six months. I once fried all of my hair off and then had to spend a painstakingly slow year growing it out before dying it again and, spoiler alert, I hated the wait. Call it my love for creative expression, call it a foolish chasing of ever-evolving trends, but there’s something about hair dye that just calls to me.
I’ve been black, brunette, pink, green, grey and—my personal favourite—an ashy blonde that I absolutely adored. After all, ashy blonde hair (the original linen blonde, just with more grey tones to it) was the trend du jour of the 2010s. Now it seems the tide has turned—if the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Hailey Bieber, Kate Beckinsale and Gwyneth Paltrow are to be believed, warm blonde is officially back in favour. Even content creator and author Victoria Magrath (famously known online as InTheFrow), whose name became synonymous with ashy, silver-blonde hair erring on the side of purple, has hopped over to the warm side.
