For Stacie Swift, 38, the key to her confidence lies in her locks
I'M PROOF BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN

Picking up a box of blonde hair dye at the chemists, I smiled. ‘Hello old friend,’ I thought. After two years with dyed grey hair (it was trendy at the time, really!) it was time to go back to me. Not my natural brunette, but a gorgeous, bright peroxide blonde, and I couldn’t wait to unleash my fun side once more. Because I’m a firm believer in the old adage that blondes have more fun - in fact, I’m proof of it.

My love affair with blonde began when I was just 11 years old, in 1997. To liven up my mousey-brown locks, my mum let me have two blonde streaks in my fringe, just like my idol Geri Halliwell. Admiring my new ’do in the mirror before school, I felt like a pop star and I walked into the classroom that day with so much sass and confidence. After that, I progressed to a trendy blonde dip-dye at age 14, and my blonde-streak experiments continued during my teens. It’s incredible how much of an effect your hair can have on your confidence, but the more blonde I became, the more mine just seemed to grow.
