Rating all the hair colors I've tried over the years & why!
7/10
(2021-2023)
Dark brown, this suits me well but it's a lil basic ngl
9/10
(2023-2024)
Light brown, got the most compliments during this time and I think it brightened my face the most
9/10
(2025-mid 2025)
Red, this was honestly my favorite look ever, it just damaged my hair so badly cause I had to redye when the color faded out every month
8/10
(Mid 2025)
Dark purple into black, I liked the subtle hints of red in the dark and I felt like a more lowkey baddie here
6/10
(End of 2025)
Hated this in between of the purple and black cause it was growing out and I felt so chopped every day
10/10
(2026)
Straight black, I didn't have black hair for over 5 years but I feel the most confident in myself and I'm prolly gonna keep this for a while
