Ava Phillippe embracing her natural blonde look
Ava Phillippe is out of her "fun colours era" with her hair.
The 24-year-old actress - who is the daughter of Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon - has previously dyed her blonde locks various hues, including purple, orange and pink, and though she doesn't "regret" her previous looks, there are shades she knows didn't quite work for her as well as she'd hoped.
She told Nylon magazine: "Well, I will never call my hair journey a regret. I think there are lessons to be learned, though.
" Especially when you're blonde, if you dye your hair blue, it’s going to go green, eventually. That's a big one.
"But like I said, no regrets. You have to try things to know what works and what doesn't. And it's hair; it grows back.
"I'm no longer in my fun colours era, but I'm very lucky to have gotten it out of my system when I did."
Although Ava is happy to embrace her natural colour now, she admitted it isn't easy to maintain.
She said: "Right now, I want to keep it simple and just be my normal blonde, which blonde is never really simple. Tucker Goodwine at Chris McMillan Salon in L.A. has been doing my hair colour for a few times now and now I think we're getting into a groove.
"When I first heard about the K18 hair mask, I was skeptical — they have all these big claims of what it can do — but it really did repair my hair.
"Also, I got a shower filter that has changed my life, my skin, and my hair. It's the Jolie Filtered Showerhead."
While Ava used to use beauty products and make-up to "cover things" and "change" her appearance, she thinks differently now.
She explained: "My relationship with beauty is ever-changing. It started off by wanting to cover things or change things, and as I've gotten older and more mature, it's been more about highlighting things I like or being creative and playing with new colours and ideas.
"It's more fun when you make it about something other than hiding. I think the way I present myself outward is a big reflection of what's on the inside, that creative spirit."
