I decided early in 2016 that I wanted pink hair and I maintained that all summer. I had bright pink, I had coral pink, and once it faded I lingered in a peachy rose gold place until it was time to dye again - and it was glorious. Honestly, I absolutely love pink hair.

Yeah, I think I'd be bored if my hair was just brown again.
