my natural hair is a bit lighter than yours I think, but bleaching it makes it damage-y because it's stupid fine, BUT I actually kind of like when it's damaged to hell because it's the closest I come to having texture/my hair doing anything besides just sitting flat and dumb. but, I don't like blonde for me, and bright colors are fun. I haven't bleached or dyed it in ages, though (and it's coming up on a year since I even had a trim) so it's just my dumb dogshit light brown, and long and gross bc I live with it in a bun like 24/7. I need to get a cut/dye soon, but the weather has sucked so much.
