Dyeing your hair solidly throughout your entire teenage years and most of your adult life is all well and good until you realise you’re not sure what your natural colour is
#so i was born with coal black hair and a disgusted expression on my face#my hair became this really boring mousy brown colour when i was a little kid#it’d get blonde streaks in the summer but that was the only fun thing about it#i BEGGED my mum for years to let me dye it and she finally figured it wasn’t a phase and let me dye it dark brown on my 13th birthday#for the next 10 or 11 years i was putting box dye on it like once every 3 months at least#my flatmate helped me bleach money pieces in 2020 but other than that i’ve only ever gone darker#basically what i’m saying is my natural colour has gradually been getting darker and darker for years and i…. have not noticed#i’m literally sitting here right now like waaait. so i last dyed my hair dark red in july of 2023#cut it into a really fucked up bob in november 2023 and have been letting it grow out ever since#aaaaand now it’s pretty uniformly dark brown#AT WHAT POINT DID I BECOME A NATURAL BRUNETTE. i never noticed!!!#it’s a gorgeous colour too. like i love it. it’s a MASSIVE upgrade compared to what i was dealing with as a kid#this is literally the colour i was dyeing it most of the time#except i haven’t dyed my hair dark brown since… november 2020 apparently??? holy shit i’m STUPID#of course now i’ll probably go prematurely grey because i have my dad’s genetics#sidenote i kinda love being able to dissect all of my genetics. i mean it’s easy because i have my dad’s everything apart from nose#i have my mum’s nose. my eyes are most similar to my grandma’s as well. otherwise all my dna is just xeroxed from my dads#apart from that i have good eyesight. i have no idea where that’s from. maybe my grandma? she’s 80 and only needs glasses for reading#personal
