Silly Sunday: What Does Your Dyed Hair Say About How You Dress?
By: TFN Writer Kalie Lomeli
Since the dawn of time, hair has been a fashion statement. It changes every day—“Should I wear it up or down?”—or the gut-sinking feeling of waking up and seeing your greasy hair with less than an hour until class starts. While I do not have a solution for you (sorry, babes!), the color of your hair says even more about who you are than you think. Remember sophomore year when you randomly decided to dye half your hair pink while you were dressing like a Millennial lesbian? Nobody? Just me...? Well, anyways, if you’re looking for stellar examples of stereotyping, then this (very researched) post was made for you!
Blonde (Don’t worry, we know it’s natural)
This year, you are going simple—single-colored baby tees, cotton tank tops, pastel-colored boy shorts, and claw clips. So basically, Brandy Melville. It’s all about simplicity, owning you, or maybe running away from who you are (lol). The hydrated and clean skin look is all the rave right now, and you are slaying. When you go out, your glass skin with a touch of bronzer and blush is all you need to have that tanned glow. Remember Hailey Bieber? Yeah, we know you do. Also, don’t tell me, but your favorite jewelry pieces are dainty gold ones, right? Either way, you bring the feeling of The Summer I Turned Pretty right here in Central Illinois, and we thank you.
Red (You’re really not like other girls)
You’re only a teenager once—or every time you dye your hair. Red is daring, and we know you felt that energy shift when you walked out the salon door. You are really into denim and leather right now, and the color brown is making a comeback in your wardrobe. But let’s not forget maroon, too. The red makes you feel sexy, and it never looked better. You’re experimenting more with makeup looks, especially with your eyes, because we all know eyes are the gateway to the soul. Remember office siren, anyone? Who wears it best? Definitely you, baby!
Pink (Your roots are definitely not showing)
Aside from my own personal experience with pink hair, you are a true inspiration. Pink hair brings us back to the Kool-Aid dyed hair trend in middle school—you’re such a DIY queen (or king!). Your hair is your fashion; you let it be the voice in everything you wear. You are unconventional and are pushing against the ‘natural’ beauty trend of social media. You like to play around with different colors and patterns that simultaneously manage to intertwine chaotic, soft, and bold energy all at once. Don’t worry, we know you are that Trisha Paytas Tumblr star!
