Jessica Alba keeps her hair dark because she hates having to get her roots dyed. The Machete beauty–who is known for her exotic looks–has experimented with lighter locks, but feels happier with brown hair because the upkeep is easier.

She said, “I’m enjoying being brunette again as I hate getting my rootsdone. It was so annoying because that’s not who I am. I’m the girl who wearsa pony tail and baseball cap every day.”

Despite opting for simple hairstyles, the 29-year-old actress–who hastwo-year-old daughter Honor–believes her style is normally “funky” but“modest.”

She explained, “Classic, elegant and a little funky. Yeah, I’m kind ofmodest in my fashion choices: I’m not somebody who puts on push-up bras andmini-skirts. I’ve played those girls in movies, but I’ve never been thatgirl. “I’ve always had curves, especially since having Honor. I used to feelembarrassed by them, but now I feel just like a woman.”Jessica also revealed how she has a penchant for designer splurges, andloves luxury clothes.

She told the Metro newspaper, “There’s not much I don’t like by Pradaespecially their shoes and dresses. I like Marc Jacobs bags. For casualwear, I like Juicy Couture, Diesel and Triple 5 Soul. One of my favouritedresses was one by Versace which I wore to the MTV Movie Awards.”
