Is it true that redheads have more fun?

[Lisa0825]

Well, I wanted to find out. I always think red headed gals look pretty cute... I adore Julianne Moore! I have toyed with the idea of "going red" for about a year. Tonight, I picked up a semi-permanent wash (lasts 24 washes).

Let's just say it was not a total success...

My original color was mostly dark blonde to light brown, but I still had the remnants of blonde highlights here and there. I guess it was easy not to notice them since the medium color hid them well.

Well, now they are sorta pink. Not REALLY pink... but sorta pink. I think I'll wash my hair tonight to start that "washing out" process. or maybe I should just be BOLD and go totally red???

Nah... not ready for that yet... baby steps!

I'm probably overly critical, and no one will notice. Other than the pink ends, I have to say it's not half bad!

:silly:

1. True Red-heads are the best

in bed :evilgrin:

[Lisa0825]

2. well, unless we can do some reverse genetic engineering,

I'll just have to try to be a good imitation! ;-)

[proud patriot]

3. I'm a redhead

and the answer is yes :D

[Lisa0825]

5. Well thanks for answering, but now I am jealous!

just kidding :-) he he

[Dookus]

4. I was a red-headed kid

turned a little browner as I aged, now mixed with too much gray.

My mom's a redhead. My best-friend's a redhead. ALL my favorite actresses are redheads. yeah, they rock.

[Lisa0825]

7. Different hue, but similar....

I was platinum blonde as a child, but get darker every year. I have been highlighting for years, but have been thinking I'd try walin'on the wild side

I agree.... redheads rock.

[BiggJawn]

6. I'll do things for a red-head...

That I won't do with blonds or brunettes.

they have this "power"...

[Lisa0825]

8. oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh

hmmmm... maybe if I get a really good professional dye, I can convince you I'm for real???

:loveya:

[BiggJawn]

9. Works for me...

Get a very "professional" job. 'cuz I WOULD notice...:evilgrin:

[Lisa0825]

10. heh heh heh....

calling my stylist on her cell.....

:evilgrin:

[BiggJawn]

11. You don't have green eyes, do you?

Redheads with green eyes just make me ACHE with lust....:evilgrin:

[Lisa0825]

13. yep!

actually, that's why I thought about going red... because red looks so good with green eyes.

[lazarus]

12. Supposedly

Mark Twain once said that, while the rest of humanity descended from apes, redheads descended from cats.

We redheads do indeed have more fun.

[Lisa0825]

15. mrrrrrrrrowwwwww!

I like that!

So far, I have gotten 6 compliments today on the new do!:-)

[JVS]

14. Not when they are stepchildren

[Lisa0825]

16. and being a Dem in Texas, I already feel like a red headed step-child!

LOL

[dbt]

17. Time to get this thread locked!

Redheads taste different. Better than blondes and/or brunettes!

:evilgrin:
dbt

[Lisa0825]

19. yowza!

gives me a whole new perspective on Strawberry Blondes!LOL

[ACK]

18. Redheads drive me nuts .... amber hair ... yummm.

Is it just me?

+

[Lisa0825]

20. amber is a very nice color too... very warm

[GOPisEvil]

21. I have to admit: there is something about redheads.

Perhaps it's their relatively low numbers. Whatever it is...:rowr:

[Lisa0825]

22. yeah, I think it's the rarity of it.

so many people color their hair blonde, that it is way more common than being a natural blonde. I figured if I wanted to do something to my hair, why not do something that would set me apart a bit more? Plus, that myth of the wild redhead is very appealing!

[Zinfandel]

23. I love them even though one beautiful redhead drove me nuts with her games

[Lisa0825]

27. she wouldn't happen to be from Houston, would she???

I have a former friend who gives redheaded ladies a bad rep, I'm afraid!

[Lizz612]

24. Readheads!

:swoon:
eom

[Lisa0825]

28. easy there.... don't fall and hurt yourself!

:hi:

[Lizz612]

32. Too late!

I fell hard and fast for a redhead, but its okay, were friends again. Doesn't make him any less swoon worthy.:D

[livetohike]

25. Definitely!

It was hard growing up as a redhead, lots of teasing. Also, if I heard the question, "Where did you get that red hair from?" once, I heard it a million times. My dad's hair was black and my mom is a brunette. Anyway, one day I answered the question by saying, "I got it from the milk man?" (Okay, so I'm showing my age. For all you young ones, milk used to be delivered to the house.

Needless to say, my parents weren't happy with that answer :-). But I have grown used to the attention that a natural redhead draws and have to say that it's nice to still get compliments.

[Lisa0825]

30. LOL!

My brother said something similar once. All three of us were born light blonde, and then later our hair turned darker. We got that from our Dad. But as an adult, both he and my mom had medium brown hair, so we got asked where we got it from a lot too!

I think the teasing may be why so many redheads are kinda feisty! I like that about them!

29. Being a redhead requires a certain "attitude"

I'm a redhead (and yes, I have green eyes). But I'll warn you--being a redhead requires you to possess certain personality traits. Not just everyone can pull it off successfully. There's a certain attitude involved. And a more practical tip: red hair coloring fades faster than any other hair color. I know--I've been having mine "enhanced" for the last couple of years to hide the grey! :eyes:

[hippiechick]

33. Exactly ....

I do recall a certain 'step bro' (ahem, Will Pitt) making fun of my red hair and my link to the DU family tree just a few months ago ... hmmm ....

Reds have to be able to fend off all manner of teasing from an early age, and I think that's where our spicy attitudes come from. We're born 'different' so we dare to be different in other ways as we grow up.


:hippie:

[Lisa0825]

34. I agree about only some being able to pull it off!

I think I'm up to the challenge! Maybe part of this is because I am making some big changes in my life, so I figure I should enter this new phase of my life with a bold statement!

[Lisa0825]

31. See, that's another thing! Redheads may be rare, but

that gene dominates in bloodline! The tenacity goes right down to the DNA!:-)

[Shopaholic]

36. Go for it Lisa! Enjoy your new life as a redhead!

I promise you that it will leave you feeling empowered! I once dyed my hair blonde for the hell of it. It was amazing to me how much more often I got hit on by guys, which was kinda nice, but no one took me seriously anymore. It was like my IQ was cut instantly in half by becoming blonde. I learned my lesson. I went back to my natural state and embraced my red hair in all its glory. I may get noticed less by men, or I may just flat scare them off, but the ones who do make the effort, well, let's just say that I know they like a challenge and that I reward them for their efforts!:evilgrin:

[KG]

35. redheads are da bomb.

:)

[reformed_military]

37. Well somebody sure as heck is.....

And it ain't me!

[Supply Side Jesus]

38. mmmmm.....redheads....

I'm convinced they give off a pheromone that drive some men/women bonkers. Unfortunately I am affected by this debilitating condition.

39. Hi Lisa0825

I can say, as a third generation red-head, that we do have more fun. At least now. But when I was growing up everybody made fun of my hair - so I hated it for a long time. But now I love it. It makes me a little different from everyone else.

It's the freckles that get to me.

Enjoy your red-headedness!!!!
