Ok so first of all, I'm not sure under which category to put this... It could go under hair or beauty... So if it is not right please change it!
And sorry this might be a long one!

For the past 10 years or so, I had really colorfull hairs (red, orange, pink, purple). And I was always changing (few times a year!). Everyone knows me as the "girl with funky hairs"!

In two days, I'm going to turn 30 and as usual, when something bit happens in my life, I have a big need for a drastic change. So I decided yesterday to dye my hair, on my own, and to go back to the "me" color... so I dyed it brown (yeah I know, not your typical "drastic change", but for me, daring the all brown hair is pretty big!).

I am very happy with the result, even if it is still a little weird in the mirror to see a "natural" me!

So this is where I need your help! I didn't do this to become more "mature" of more "classic" since I'm going to be 30 or anything like that, this is definitely not who I am and I need ideas to keep that "funky/daring" vibe even if I now have brown hair!

I can't really wear super excentric clothes because I work in an office, but I would like ideas to add little things to oomph it up! It could be accessories, makeup ideas or maybe way to style my hair...

I'm happy that I dyed my hair, but I'm a little affraid to lose my "different" look and vibe in the process...

So this is me with my brown hair VS some of my colored one!

Fun hair accessories will definitely vamp up your hair are very easy.. you could also purchase clip in hair extensions in different colors for the days you really want a different color in your hair but I think the brown looks beautiful on you as is, but so do the 2 pics you posted so maybe buy the extensions in an ombre style of brown to dark purple or dark red. For makeup, a simple eye with a winged colored eyeliner and nude lip or a purple or navy smokey eye would look amazing on you. also play around with lip colors that maybe didn't work so well with your unnatural hair colors. I think a dark purple (mac cyber) or coral or hot pink would look fabulous on you! That's one good thing about the brown hair is there's no makeup colors that'll really look bad, just play around with some and see what you like best! you look gorgeous!

Happy Birthday! Have you considered an edgy cut? You can style your hair one way for the office and another for at work. I have deep V bangs, but I can roll them, but straight up Betties or pin them to the side. Also, accessories are a great way to oomph up any look out of the office. Use of color or pattern in clothing can be fun without being eccentric or inappropriate.

Sarah, I didn't tought of clip in extensions! That is a good idea! I'll try to find some...
And maybe try brighter lippies!

Thanks Rozberry :) It took me soooooo long to finaly grow my hair, I can't see myself cutting them haha! And I don't know if a bang would look OK... I guess I'll try to find some accessories.

This a harder than it look to change the focus on a style! I'm so use to my hair being the focal point, that I don't know how to choose color and pattern to be the focal point or how to change my makeup to make it stand out more!
Thanks for your ideas, I need inspiration to learn how to switch it up!

I love Sarah's idea of clip ins! I do think you could rock a Bang though, but I feel ya on the hair being such a big part of who you are. I'm the same way. Good luck and have fun on your big day!

So here is what I came up with! I got a really pretty and colorfull scarf and I did a big black winged liner (it doesn't really show on the pic, I can't seem to be able to take a picture that show my wing with my glasses, but it definetly show in person).

Thanks for your advice, I really like my new hair and start to dare with accessories!
