I’ve been noticing something pretty fabulous happening in my salon (and on TikTok) lately, and I just had to share it with you. It’s like this quiet revolution among women, and it’s all about embracing their natural hair color. Yes, you heard me right—more and more women are ditching the dye and letting their true colors shine. And honestly, I’m all for it! I’m not just talking about the millions of women going grey (because they are), I’m talking about blonde-orexics like me embracing our dishwater blonde roots.

So, why this sudden shift back to our roots (pun totally intended)? Let’s chat about it.

The Rise of the Low-Maintenance Look

First off, who doesn’t love a low-maintenance routine? Life is busy, and keeping up with constant root touch-ups and color maintenance can be a hassle. Not to mention, it’s a serious time-suck. By sticking with their natural color, many women are finding they can free up time for other things they love. And let’s face it, nothing beats the simplicity of a wash-and-go style that still looks fantastic because your hair isn’t showing roots that need attention.

Economic Concerns

Then there’s the money aspect. Let’s be real, getting your hair colored every few weeks can get pricey. With the cost of living on the rise, many of my clients are looking for ways to cut back on unnecessary expenses. By returning to their natural color, they’re saving quite a bit of cash. Imagine all the things you could do with that extra money—weekend getaways, new wardrobe pieces, or even just a nice dinner out without feeling guilty.

Discovering Color Seasons

Another big factor? The realization that natural is often better when it comes to complementing our skin tone. There’s this fantastic concept called color seasons, where your natural hair, skin, and eye color are taken into account to determine the hues that make you look your best. A lot of women are finding that their natural hair color actually suits their complexion beautifully. Instead of fighting against what Mother Nature gave them, they’re working with it, and the results are stunning.

Confidence and Authenticity

And you know what? There’s something incredibly empowering about embracing your natural self. It’s a statement of confidence and authenticity. It’s saying, “This is me, and I love it.” I’ve seen it firsthand in my salon—women coming in with years of dyed hair, and leaving with a fresh cut that shows off their natural color, smiling ear to ear. There’s this lightness, this sense of freedom that comes with it.

Practical Tips for Transitioning

Now, if you’re thinking about making the switch, here are a few tips. Transitioning back to your natural color doesn’t have to be a nightmare. You can start by letting your roots grow a bit and blending the rest with some highlights or lowlights. This way, the line between dyed and natural isn’t so stark. Also, deep conditioning treatments will be your best friend. They’ll keep your hair healthy and vibrant during the process.

Final Thoughts

So, if you’ve been on the fence about going back to your natural hair color, I say go for it! Embrace the ease, the savings, and the natural beauty that’s all your own. It’s a trend that’s not just about fashion—it’s about feeling good in your own skin, or should I say, in your own hair.
