Confessions of colour

I want to, at least once in this lifetime, have a head full of flaming, red locks.

I was always jealous of everyone cooing at my sisters auburn curls when we were younger, while I yanked angrily at my own straggly mousy brown mop. (Which is now a blonde mop.)



I would love to be brave enough to just stroll into my salon and demand a red head, but alas, it is not always so simple.

There is something so strong, sexy and powerful about vibrant red hair.
It holds such significance in fairy tale stories of the past, and captures my imaginations with characters in the present.


Redophile
[Noun] "A person who is drawn to redheads, feels emotionally attached for no other reason except hair color".

Oh yes, one day, I want to have redder than red, Jessica Rabbit inspired hair. Please?


Once in his life every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead"

  1. its so nice to read an ode to read hair, being flame-haired myself ive come across far too many people who have been rude about it, personally i think they are envious! you should try it, its nice being different to everyone else, and is surprisingly easy to wear :)

  3. red is amazing! I'd recommend trying a red wig before taking the plunge - reds fade quickly but are also difficult to reverse. I have a few clients going Jessica Rabbit-red right now and I'm loving it! good luck!

  7. it is so funny....well it isn't, but when i was a kid it seemed like everybody hated the redheads, myself included. and the freckles were hated, too. and now i love that redheads have their day in the sun. so many women go for this hair color, and the men seem giddy for it, too. redheads revenge is HERE! :0

  18. After being an (almost) natural blonde my whole life, I just turned to red and that old adage that I used to follow about blondes having more fun is not true! I've never felt sexier or more confident in all my life. Hail red heads!

  19. I colored my hair blonde for years but always wondered what I would look like as a redhead. One day, while on vacation, I simply walked into a salon and did just what you were pondering and impulsively requested a new hair color. I've never, ever regretted it.

  20. Me too! Me too! I used to have pillar box red hair when I was 17 but there's no photos of me at the time – so want to go back there but no idea if it suited me or not!

  21. red heads always have more fun (I can say that because I'm a fun red head) so do it, It's only hair color you can always go back, but I bet that you wont.
