simply shorter but more intense

In the book, Good Omens, there is a character Newton who is described as very typical and rather dull. The authors illustrate their character's personality by saying, when he went in for a haircut, the most Newton could hope for is shorter hair. It made me realize that's me. When I get my haircut, I don't think of any crazy styles or dos. The point of me getting my haircut is just to get it shorter.

So today, after a new-to-me guy, Kelly, cut my hair, I decided to color it again. This is how I spice up my hair and save myself from "typical and dull." I went with a new color, intense auburn: sweet pepper. I'd like to think of myself as atypical. I think the red helps.
