Kissing Bleach Goodbye…For Now

If you've been following my writing for a while, you might be aware of my penchant for switching my hair color on a whim. But in 2021, after a particularly lengthy stint as a platinum blonde, I cut my hair into a bob and went back to my natural dark brown color, in an attempt to let my untouched hair grow while minimizing bleach damage. But it wasn’t long until my salon itch returned (it always does!) and I took to Pinterest to explore what bleach-less options I had for my latest color transformation.

The truth is, if your natural hair color is a kind of dark espresso brown like mine, there aren’t tons of things you can do without bleach: you can go red (which looks stunning over brown hair, but alas, been there done that) or you can look into more raven-toned options.
