Blonde Streaks Novels & Stories

Blend in, keep your head down, and move on before anyone gets too close. As she walked down the bustling hallway, murmurs and whispers followed her. She was used to it. She didn't just blend in. She found her locker and fumbled with the combination, her hands trembling slightly. As she opened it, she caught a glimpse of herself in the small mirror inside. Her long, curly silver hair cascaded down her back like molten moonlight, shimmering with an otherworldly glow. It was the kind of hair that defied explanation, the kind that drew eyes and sparked curiosity exactly what she didn't need.

Grinning like he had all the answers and none of the questions. We laid back, the sky turning that perfect shade of soft orange. It was stupidly cinematic. Like the world had been holding its breath with us and finally exhaled. “Tell me something dumb,” Brandon said suddenly. “What?” “Like, something you haven’t had brain space to think about because of exams.” I thought for a second. “I want to dye my hair.” Brandon turned toward me, eyes wide. “What color?” I shrugged. “Something chaotic. Like silver. Or red. Something that says ‘I’m unstable but in a cool way.’”

Her expression was a carefully composed mask, waiting for it. "W…what happened to your hair?" I finally managed, the words clumsy. My eyes traced the impossible transformation. Her rich, dark hair was now starkly parted. One side remained its familiar deep brown, but the other… the other was a cascade of pure, shimmering silver, as if moonlight had been woven directly into the strands. The division was severe, beautiful, and utterly unnatural.

Mom asks as the group of us sit at Christine's salon. "What do you mean?" "She means you can't be messing with the bleach while you're pregnant. The blond you like your hair to be requires the roots to be bleached," Christine explains. "Well shit, I didn't even think about that. I guess I could go dark. No bleach for that." I shrug. "My real hair color is so drab, I gotta have something slightly different." "We'll look less like twins than we ever have," Justice quips. "You'll have a stomach, dark hair, a baby on your hip. A country song, if you will."

The boys had full heads of hair, it was a pain in the ass to cut it all the time because it fell in their eyes, but it grew like weed on their heads- Kaitlyn’s didn’t, but she had the most beautiful ash-blonde color with caramel highlights that sparkled under the sun.

*Ember* My stomach turned as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were the same striking shade of blue that they had always been, but now they were heavily rimmed with kohl and shadow. My strawberry blonde hair was piled on top of my head in an intricate series of braids, not falling in a smooth cascade down my back like I was used to.

He should love you as you are, Skinny said a lifetime ago. She shook her head. Squeezed her eyes closed. “No, no, no.” Gripped and sawed her hair. “He doesn’t. He wanted brown.” Pulled and parted and sliced. “He chose brown.” Chopped the platinum free, letting it fall to her shoulders. “That’s an answer right there. Brown not blonde.” Hair fluttered to land at her knees, peroxide strands littering the stranger’s wide knees and pudgy feet. Soon her palm raced over a bare scalp, fingertips discovering jagged and peeling nicks she never felt. Slick, bleeding cuts she failed to notice. The blade returned, the spit in her hand wetting the remaining tufts as she shaved close.

I asked, curious. I couldn’t believe I was giving in to this nonsense but… yeah, sue me. I loved gossip. “It’s just so… blonde. Like platinum blonde. And it’s long too. So long he has to tie it into this ponytail. A ponytail that doesn’t work by the way because there are these loose strands that fall around his face and it’s just…” She made a frustrated sound. “It’s just so unfair. I’d swoon if I was the type to.”

And she could see that the mark on her neck was glowing. "Oh my God, what is happening to me, what is happening to me?" she sobbed quietly as she didn't want to wake Kristen up. She closed and opened her eyes severally but still saw the same thing. It also seemed that her hair had gotten longer but the red streaks were too glaring. How would she explain to Kristen about what happened to her hair. She couldn't let her see this.

Blue eyes, blonde hair, and whispers in the wind. I woke with a start, unease clawing at my chest. This was the third night, the same dream haunting me. In the bathroom, I splashed water on my face, seeking solace in the coolness. As I lifted my gaze, the mirror revealed a shocker. My hair, once a rich blonde, now cascaded down my back in a river of white. Not gray, not silver, but a radiant, snowy hue, eerily reminiscent of the woman in my dream.
