When you realize it wasn't the red hair that made her look whimsical. Rachel is the whimsy. 🌿

[@HERthought]

Redheads (natural or otherwise) aren’t just magically “whimsy” because of our hair color. We all have different personalities, we are different people. Our one thing in common besides our hair is that strangers feel very entitled to make up dumb shït about us as a group. What next, all blonds are playful? Brunettes are mysterious? 🙄

[@EclipsaRosa]

@@HERthought listen Holly, I said "look" whimsical. Rachel operates within a color pallet in which the copper hair fit perfectly. I was stating that the color of her hair wasn't that crucial to it after all... so basically what you said, but less bitter. Hasta lavista.

[@HERthought]

@@EclipsaRosa lol oh ok that clears it up and makes it sound less ridiculous 🙄

[@EclipsaRosa]

@@HERthought I think it was more of your projection onto what I said, than the actual statement. But I get it, you're defensive. As women we get pigeon-holed due to our "defining" traits. And it is a problem, because we're not just the "red one" or the "one with good legs" we're individual people. That's a problem that mostly stems from the male gaze. So if you feel the need to be combative, march on the right camp. You won't march alone sis

I feel like every time someone does something different, a whole bunch of people suddenly have opinions. I used to have medium ash blonde hair (natural color) highlighted with a truer blonde. So many people freaked out when I dyed it fuchsia. It was a really rich, purple-pink that made my skin glow and my eyes pop. It was also the first time I felt at home in my skin. After about two years of having my hair dyed pink, I chopped all of my hair off. (Shaved it myself while drinking wine and blasting Reflection and Go the Distance.) People would _not_ stop telling me what a shame it was--that my hair was so pretty before, that my hair was too nice too be short, etc. It's now in a men's cut, and actually looks far better than it ever did long. I have volume! It's never greasy! It's always soft to the touch! I've dyed and bleached a number of times, and I never have to worry about consequences; I just wait a month or two and chop it all down. I also used to have to basically devote a day to washing my hair before; it was only mid-back, but my hair is so densely populated, it can be difficult to work product through all of it and it's even more difficult to make sure it all gets out. I think my record is washing my hair six times in one go. Now, it takes me a max of ten minutes--and that's only if there's product in it.

So even if something may not feel like the most important topic, please know that you’re bringing light into this world with every video 😊 Thanks for being you!

[@MarbleLily]

Same! My brain is fried from work etc., so all I need is to hang out with my favorite KZbin person. She could just clean the bathroom and I'd still watch :D

[@BubblegumSocialClub]

This exactly

[@charlotteschmidbauer6031]

I second this! Absolutely brightened my mood ^^

[@ReneesatItAgain]

Yup. ....if the word charming was tangible....it'd be Rachel.

[@MorganDonner]

Aww hell yeah, Dark Hair Club!! :D

[@amandalopeztibbs8689]

Rachel doing her eyeliner is me everyday before I give up lol 😂 “cousins not sisters” 👏 Also, your look reminds me of Vanessa from The Little Mermaid.

[@mizknack5082]

YES. It is very Vanessa and I am here for Rachel's sea witch glamour vibes.

[@7Nine7]

I sea it too and I freaking love Vanessa/Ursula :D

[@lordoftheplants5103]

I never thought a hair reveal would be the perfect thing to watch while sipping hot chocolate on a rainy afternoon, but it was just what I needed. No drama or overhyping. Only new style confidence and cozy vibes :)

[@katem9718]

That 12:55 outfit - omg you immediately reminded me of Kate Bush! You look fantastic - please don't feel you have to justify your hair/beauty/aesthetic decisions to us, your viewers. We're here because we like the little peeks into your life that you offer, it's not for us to decide anything! I can't wait to see all the awesome looks that you can dabble in with the darker hair

[@elephante2002]

Was scrolling to find the Kate Bush reference and I found it!! Totally agree!

[@m.maclellan7147]

Oh, @RachelMaksy PLEASE do the "Babushka" outfit from the video !!!! I am sure you could recreate it & you already HAVE a sword !!!!

[@cheyennemichelle3960]

I am in love with your hair as this color. I know red is the classic Rachel, but I think the brown contrasts so beautifully with your skin. You look so good Rachel!

[@christinebarnes3493]

Like Snow White 👸🏻

[@sleepybeans30]

As a natural ginger who spent most of my life never playing with my hair, because like you said, everyone feels entitled to the color of your hair when you're a redhead. I'm so happy you went for a change! Last year, I finally told all the people to suck it and started bleaching my hair. I went for all the bright colors I wanted, then found out I was terribly allergic to hair bleach. So, I will live vicariously through you! Enjoy the new changes, it's your hair, and I think you look fantastic as a brunette!

[@TypicalTGreen]

I'm liking this comment with a reply, 'cause I don't want to mess up the '42' ;) 👍

[@mollyapteros]

You might enjoy Alex from Pretty Pastel Please going absolutely bananas dying her natural red hair every color possible after never being able to touch it while growing up. I'm also a redhead and I would love to go pink, buuuuut it's way too much time/effort/money for me.

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

There’s better brands of bleach with less chemicals. But I know what you mean stopped bleaching 5 years ago.

[@calistawild3099]

Stop doubting your videos, we love them, we love you, it’s just lovely to see you do you from time to time Rachel 🖤 I’ve personally had a lovely time watching this with a cuppa tea so thank you for making it and your hair looks lovely

[@apcolleen]

I know right? "oops I did it... 228,498 views (video posted) Mar 18, 2022" as of 255pm on March 19th. Rachel! its ok! Trust the process!

[@kristie_ell]

Holy crap - it looks fantastic! I love it! It's giving me Evie from The Mummy vibes for sure.

[@aleesiauh]

Agreed!

[@pistachoo.]

"If you have some coffee or tea, grab a blankie and your favourite house pet..." I AM SO HERE FOR THIS!

[@AbbyCox]

TWINSIES TWINSIES TWINSiiiiiEEEESSSSSSS 👯‍♀ (you look stunning)

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

I know! She looks so *AMAZING!* I think she should keep this colour. It makes her look like a old screen Holywood Queen! ❤🎥👸❤

[@twinnieschaal]

🖐🤩🌸

[@bethanya99]

Hey Rachel, as a fellow lady with naturally dark hair and super pale skin, I find that I need to keep my brows thinner that I want (or what is trendy) just because they stand out more. I wonder if that will make you happier with your look. But I will say, one of my favorite things about the dark hair/pale skin combo is how much you can play with colored eyeshadow. Have Fun! P.s.- White/Cream tops are your new best friend. You GLOW in them!

[@youllaskforme]

I relate to that fear! I’m a body waxer and my clients have always identified me as the girl with the fun hair. People would call and request specifically the girl with the fun hair if they couldn’t remember my name. Well I went ash medium blonde for my own sanity and thankfully it’s gone over well but I was so nervous it wouldn’t! Your hair looks incredible!

[@azrani2023]

honestly that fashion montage with you dancing around could have gone on forever. loved it, as much as i love all your videos.

[@quincykate]

YES I WAS SO HOPING THIS WAS WHAT YOU WERE HINTING AT. IT LOOKS GREAT!!!

[@trexvalleygirl2770]

No worries. My sister has dyed her hair so many shades over the years that nobody can remember her original hair color. Hair color is a personal preference. Enjoy!

[@patjennings3760]

Enjoy your dark hair Rachel. Loving the mr Darcy look lol. Can’t wait to see the kitchen. 🤩

[@xcestlavie77]

I LOVE the dark hair!!! It look so good with all of your clothes. The sort of burnt orange colored dress with this hair is 🔥🔥🔥!

[@MariSheWolf]

That hair color looks stunning on you! Also, you shouldn't be afraid of your community, we love you no matter what hair color you choose ❤︎

[@marybillups8901]

Exactly! You are beautiful as a brunette! I love your clothing styles! So feminine & beautiful! ❤️‍🔥💐

[@Forevershining99]

Love the dark color on you!! As Jenna Marbles would say, “Life’s too short to have boring hair.”

[@qwinlyn]

Jenna may have said it, but that has been the slogan for Manic Panic for decades so it’s prolly where she got it from.

[@mcwjes]

Yaas beetch!

[@radioserrelind]

When you're an iconic redhead, a hair reveal going over to brunette is big! Don't sell yourself short, you're interesting even when you're just doing your hair!

[@quinlanstewart1570]

Super cute! The red color looks amazing on you, and complimented the clothes you had, but also the new color gives some of your outfits that dark academia scholar look, or just, still cute and beautiful. The ponytail is so pretty!

[@CatMcCloud]

She’s giving us 🌙 tragic vixen 🥀 (I imagined just a tiny bit darker red lip hehe) So fun!

[@CravenWolf1986]

As my mom always tells me, "it's just hair, so have fun with it." I really love this hair color on you, though. I don't remember seeing that orange dress before. It's absolutely gorgeous, and I have to know where you found that.

[@acetrainerkat]

You do you girl! Hair dose this amazing thing called "growing" so I never understood why some people are so against any kind of hair dying.

[@TheKickshaws]

Your hair looks great! It’s beautiful as brown or red. Color and style your hair however YOU want, girl! If people don’t like it, that’s THEIR problem. They can cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it. 😎💅🏻

[@knightgeneva1]

Yess I love it!! Thanks for continuing to do things "for you" on the internet. I promise that no matter what you come up with, your videos are always so so comforting as a brief distraction from all the things. 💕

[@3bellam]

I'm a natural brunette and I've always thought it seemed fun to dye your hair, but I honestly really like my hair color(even if it is super common), so I never have. That being said, I totally commend everybody who does dye their hair fun/different colors. It's just like changing up your fashion; it doesn't change who you are or anything, it's just an expression. And I think you look lovely

[@VanK782]

I also liked my original hair color but can honestly say - worth it. Changed it almost six years ago and still haven't gone back. The moment you're ready to go back you can just dye it similar to your natural hair and grow it out

[@sanvall12]

I love how all the outfits were spring/summer! That dress with the leaf is so lovely. :) (also thank you for the fish updates)

[@Dollgirl4896]

I LOVE this hair color on you! It's a gorgeous color and suits you really well! Don't get me wrong, I love your red hair as well, they're both absolutely gorgeous!

[@leslienope]

Unsurprisingly, you look just as gorgeous with this color as with the red! I love experimenting with hair color and I think everyone should feel free to do it if they want to ❤

[@theverbind]

I love you talking to yourself with loving self-confidence about how you can do what you want and the judgements of others are silly! Great modeling of healthy inner dialogue 💛

[@bravomah]

I just wanted to say that I've been going through some struggles for the past few years, and no matter how bad my day is, your videos ALWAYS make me smile. No matter what the content is. Thank you so much for existing on the internet.

[@crystilmurch5659]

So much all of this. Yes.

[@ThePeacefulArtist]

I agree!

[@7HEATHER7]

"This is our forever home..." We said that too after dropping a ton of money and 2 years of reno and listed the house a couple months after we completed the renos cause I lost my job lol! They say "God laughs when you have a plan" ♥

[@zofiabochenska1240]

Loved the outfits! The autumn dress with the leaf in front - gorgeous!

[@lilz3337]

That color looks so good on you! As someone who is about to go from shoulder length pastel purple hair to a (maybe pink) pixie cute, I am here for fun hair changes!!!

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

OMG she looks so *AMAZING!* she should keep this colour. It makes her look like a old screen Holywood Queen! ❤🎥👸❤

[@SCompton4]

I’m a natural redhead myself but have been considering dying my hair this color for quite a while (the guilt people make me feel every time I consider dying my hair has definitely been stalling me tbh). I think you convinced me to finally go for it. This color looks so good! 😍

[@kaltespopcorn4087]

Forgett them! Do what`s exiting to you.

[@geministargazer9830]

I’m a natural redhead too and I couldn’t think of a natural hair colour I would like better but I decided to dye it lavender instead lol

[@hannahfox5422]

As someone who wishes they were a natural redhead, fuck anyone who says you shouldn't dye your hair, you can't live your life by what other people wish they were.

[@Stevie37]

My natural hair color is platinum blonde, though it has been dyed many colors over the years. The first time I dyed it, I got it done at a salon and the girl doing my hair CRIED because she didn't want to dye over my natural hair color.

[@TheGeneralAnesthesia]

It’s awesome to be able to play with hair color! Go for it and enjoy the experience!

[@starsandsuch7778]

Omg when Rachel put her hair up in a bouncy ponytail, she really became Audrey Hepburn!! 😍

[@liv97497]

It looks SO BEAUTIFUL Rachel! I always get bored with my hair and I feel the urge to change it constantly. Also I am HERE for an Evie transformation 3.0 lol

[@autumn_equinox]

I swear you are an antidote to my depression, madame. Please endeavour to give fewer f***s about what others think, because only your opinion truly matters and we mere mortals are blessed by your ethereal creativity and loveliness (and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong and can go chuck it). You’re just so darn delightful 😊✨ p.s. I once read in vogue (probably ten years ago now…) that your eyebrows “shouldn’t” match your hair colour exactly, they “should” be one to two shades darker UNLESS you are raven-haired. But, honestly, who gives a flying f***? Make ‘em purple if you feel like it, hon 👍🏻

[@elisabeth840]

That is cool! I love it! It fits with your pretty eyes! Makes me think about Wonder Woman or Diana Barry in Green Gables! My brain had the same idea of changing hair color last year but when back to natural because I wasn't a fan of it on me oops 😂 but I would like to try red hair so much, maybe this year! Thanks for remembering me to be myself and doing things for me and not for others to like it, as long as I like it! ❤

[@aprilfoley8849]

It looks so good Rachel!!! Live your life girl! If someone were actually to be mad because you changed YOUR hair color they'd simply need to ✨reevaluate themselves ✨ Also Demi color is so fun! (And it being non-committal is *chef's kiss* perfect for me lol) I dabbled in going from red to dark brown as well :)

[@adijkstra2725]

I love the dark hair on you so much! It’s very flattering to your eyes and skin tone. It was also good to see such a genuine smile on your face! Much love!!

[@mamazuzu93]

I absolutely love the new hair! You look gorgeous! And you're right. It's stupid to follow someone only for their hair. I love your content because your funny and relatable and you always bring a smile to my face. Keep killing it!

[@taranian]

I love this hair colour! Honestly, with the red hair you've always looked like a movie star to me, but with it brown it looks more natural on you, almost like a cottage core version of your own self.

[@juliad.b.5230]

It's really giving "Lizzie x Mr Darcy"-vibes, especially when you had this white flowy blouse on, and I love it!✨💖 Oooh you could also pull of a Sexy Inigo Montoya cosplay now!

[@robinmitchells]

Your redhead era has been glorious but I can’t wait to see what masterpieces you create (and shenanigans you get into 😁) with your new hair :)

[@CM-ss5pe]

Dark brown looks great on you! It also goes well with the warm brown tones that a lot of your outfits have. Even better than the red hair does, honestly. I've only known you as a redhead for years, yet I got used to the dark hair by the end if the video. Also really excited to see it gradually shift back to red over time! Enjoy your new colour, Rachel, and never think twice about doing things with your appearance to make yourself happy. 😊

[@ashalindrose6055]

The new hair is so cute! You already have those Evelyn vibes going! I love demi-permanents; it's nice to have a change that you can keep up or let go of as it suits you.

[@lamoinette23]

i absolutely love the red.. who cares if it's not natural! but the dark looks great on you too. colouring your hair is one of the best ways to change your perspective too! ❤️❤️
