You bat for Team Natural if you’re sporting your natural hair colour. You bat for Team Dye if you’re altering the colour in some way. You bat for Team Natural if you’re in the process of growing out dyed hair so that you can sport its natural colour. You bat for Team Dye if you highlight, lowlight, or balayage your hair. 

Until three years ago, I was highlighting my pixie with platinum blonde streaks. I’ve been doing that for twenty years because cloudy Seattle didn’t give me the sun streaks that I was accustomed to. In January 2022 I decided to grow out my pixie and stop dying my hair. It was hubs Greg who suggested I sport my natural colour, and I haven’t looked back. I’m thoroughly enjoying my dark blonde hair. I find it very versatile, easy to manage, and I like the change. I might dye my hair in future, but for now I bat for Team Natural.

You should neither feel pressured to dye your hair, nor sport its natural colour. Wear the hair colour that makes you happy, and enjoy it. It might mean dying it on this leg of your style journey, and wearing it naturally on another. Go with what works for you. Change things up when your mood shifts.

Over to you. Do you bat for Team Natural or Team Dye? Tell us why, and no batting for both teams. If you can’t pick a side, there’s a hot caesar salad with grilled salmon, hot crusty bread, spicy Brussel sprouts, and chocolate mousse for those on the bench.
