From prom to pink professional, I've had coloured hair for half my life. Only us girls of colour can relate to the difficulties that come with having exciting hair.

All those lovely hairstyles you see on Instagram and TikTok? The unicorn pastels, oil slicks, and rainbow gradients? These seem like such a great concept.

You love the color…until you wash it for the first time.

Even if you use shampoo or conditioner, coloured hair dye will be washed off by any amount of water. So you postpone cleaning it for days longer than anybody else would risk.

And you avoid the shower like the plague.

Your pillowcases look like a colorful disaster.

How recently did you wash your pillowcase? Examine the stain's depth. While sleeping with damp hair, you don't want to discolour the pillows.

"People used to make fun of me for having coloured hair, but now they congratulate me and strike up talks. Speaking to me is like a bright sign."

Strangers always want to talk to you.
