I´m dyeing my hair red couple of months.. and I like it. But I love more natural red hair, freckles, curly hair, etc. I want to continue dyeing but I fell bad because its not my natural color and.. I think that you, natural redheads, dont like when people dye their hair to red because they werent gifted or they didnt experience troubles with them.. its true?
bahiyadiehl said: Pssh, I do not see a problem with it, I’m quite flattered actually! To put up with maintaining it because you see such beauty in the hair color is really cool, have fun!
exhilaratemyspirit said: I love all kinds of red even if it is dyed! So beautiful!
bustymcgee said: It just tends to look fake, but I don’t think people dying their hair red can be reasonably called offensive…that’d be silly. That’s just elitist. Psh.
wehavestopped said: I have pale skin, freckles everywhere and… boring brown hair. So, I dye my hair red- generally a cherry/burgundy red and love it when it fades to ginger. I love red hair and think it is the just the most beautiful hair colour out there.
colorsinthelight said: my best friend whos a ginger sees it as someone converting to his religion, i see it as someone claiming to be of the Jewish religion but with no evidence they dont have to go through the holocaust. its annoying
readhed said: I think it’s almost always obvious when red hair is fake and most people don’t look good with it unless theyre born with it — however, if you want to do it, go for it! Whatever makes a person feel their best.
katiedreamsincolour said: i usually dont mind dyed reds. i dye mine a different shade of “red” (light auburn naturally highlighted/dyed to rusty orange) because i like it better. but to me natural red is always prettier.
mermaidshells said: I’ve always wondered the same as Anon. My natural hair color is really mousy brown, and while that color looks great on many people I just feel so ‘blah’ about it. Dying my curly hair red gives me a confidence boost that I love!
gypsytraveler said: It’s actually funny, because this is the one reason that I never died my hair again after the one time that I did. I’m a natural redhead, and at times my hair has looked like both these pictures. Naturally. It can get darker in the winter, and lighter and more vibrant in the summer and spring, showing off the all the different colors in it. But hey, if you want to dye your hair red, who’s stopping you? It’s a beautiful color, and it’s completely your choice whether to dye your hair or not. The only thing that I really have to say about it is that you probably won’t have the many different colors that redheads of any shade have naturally, not through a dye. You may get up to three, as I’ve seen that on hair color boxes, but there’s more that’d you’d see in a natural redhead. I can’t speak for anyone else, but why would I have a problem or not like it when someone dyes their hair red? It’s your hair! Have fun with it! And I love being a redhead, so if you want to be too, that’s great!
indeliblestar said: As a redhead, I only mind when people who have the slightest hint of natural red call themselves redheads, like the brunette teen I saw at the movie theatre, who, standing next to a standee of Merida, said “It’s the story of my life!” Not so.
livemadly said: Holy shit. Is this even a question. Do whatever the fuck you wan with your appearance, fuck anyone who cares. Like. Wtf
acordak said: i’m ok with it as long as you don’t start some bs about how ~you are really supposed to be a redhead in your soul~ or whatever. i hate that shit
stephali said: I wish I was born red haired :( so I will dye my hair for eternity <3
moonshoes12 said: I don’t mind at all.. I think if you want your hair that colour then go ahead! I do hate when people dye their hair cherry red though and they freak out when it fades and goes ginger. What did you expect to happen???
songbirdcadaver said: same boat as anonymous. Tho i’ve never known a natural red head to hate others for it.

shanimalfever asked you: all those comments about being a redhead and dyeing it made my day. im a natural redhead myself. it is flattering when people dye their hair red.
<3 Thanks for responding to anon’s question! To add my own feelings to the response, I love all reds, natural or not :)

<3 Love when people see the beauty in red hair <3 Thanks so much for writing!!! Personally, I love it when people like red enough to choose it for themselves. But since I can’t speak for other natural redheads, I’ve asked this question before: What do other redheads think about it? I’d like to hear more comments on this…

“It’s been dyed quite a bit darker. I’m auburn and that’s just not right for Sherlock. He’s a creature of the night. He’s got a dark, sociopathic side to him. The archetypal image of him is that he’s a slick-looking, dark-haired gentleman with aquiline features. The first thing my mum said when I mentioned to her that I’d got the part was “You don’t have the right nose.”“ - Benedict Cumberbatch
Thanks for this quote, anon!
