Hey happy world red hair day to any reds on DU......

[a kennedy]

I’m a sterling hair lass, but always wanted red hair. ☘️

[no_hypocrisy]

1. I'm red. Sister: brunette and Brother: Blonde

Found out that I have a whole line of cousins who are all reds, father's side of the family.

2. I'm jealous.......

[Progressive Jones]

3. My daughter's a red head. So was my mom.

Must have skipped a generation. My hair was "dirty blonde", when I still had hair...

[a kennedy]

11. 😅 yah, having ANY hair is nice eh??

[MineralMan]

4. One of my first girlfriends was a Ginger.

Now, at age 75, she has white hair.

[a kennedy]

12. I'm sure she looks back on those ginger hair days with love.......white can be beautiful,

white hair that is.

[MineralMan]

14. No doubt. Her nickname was, and is, "Red."

Our high school romance did not last long, but our friendship did.

5. I somehow avoided getting red hair, which is prevalent throughout my family

When I was young, however, I found a single hair that stood out, as it was as red as a fox. I pulled it and it didn’t grow back red. Genes! Go figure.

13. Yikes, that kinda destroyers the if you pull it out it comes back more corse right??

6. A bunch of Neanderthals!

7. My daughter, and two of her daughters,

Have long, shiny, strawberry blond hair.

I think they qualify.

[a kennedy]

18. Strawberry blond hair, the envy of a lot of women eh??

[Cracklin Charlie]

19. You should see it.

Straight, thick, and shiny. The color of 24 karat gold. People used to accuse me of dying my child’s hair. I would have to show them her baby pictures. My daughter and her five year old girl have it almost down to their butt, and the two year old, with the same color, is shoulder length.

Her three year old girl has long shiny blond hair with the same texture.

[a kennedy]

20. Oh now you're just starting to piss me off......🥰. and it's pure jealousy on my part.

So jealous.

[Cracklin Charlie]

26. Oh, it pisses me off daily, lately.

It rains here everyday. I have thick, coarse, brown hair, that acts like a sponge in humidity.

Other day, the five year old told me I have “clown hair”. She wasn’t wrong.

[a kennedy]

27. 😊 gotta love the kids......

[Scrivener7]

8. I'm red, as are my 5 siblings. Thanks for the good wishes! I had no idea we had a holiday.

[a kennedy]

17. Wish I could have been a red head.........I think Prince Harry is celebrating today....😊

[DavidDvorkin]

9. I used to have red hair

I used to have hair.

[a kennedy]

16. 😅 that goes for a lot of us eh?? 😅

[DavidDvorkin]

23. Yep

I miss it, but it's a lot less trouble this way.

10. I had brown hair when I was born.

Then it turned blonde when I was a toddler. By the time I was in first grade, I was a redhead, and I stayed that way until I was in sixth grade, when it browned out a little, but I still had lots of red and blonde highlights. Then, when I was in eighth grade, I started going grey. By the time I was 30, I was grey enough that I started coloring my hair. My stylist concocted the perfect red from childhood pictures, and I went with that till I was around 50 when the grey was so prevalent that I was getting pink roots. We toned it down to a soft brown with copper highlights, as red as we could get without the pink roots. I stopped coloring my hair in December 2019 after having colored it literally half of my life. Now I have amazing, tricolor (white, silver, and dark grey) hair, and I love it.

But I’ll always be a redhead at heart.

[a kennedy]

15. Wow what a history eh?? The white, "sterling" as I call silver, and dark grey sounds lovely.....

I tried coloring my hair once and I did try a red shade, on me, it looked so wrong……never tried again.

[Vinca]

21. I always wanted red hair, too. In high school I tinted my hair a pretty auburn

shade only I used multiple packages of the stuff at once to get a good color and it pretty much dyed it. My father was furious. I think I got grounded for it.

[msfiddlestix]

22. My daughter is a red head, well it's kinda getting "whitish"

not exactly grey like me, but she was a "strawberry blond" since the day she was born. but now she's turning 50, and that strawberry blond has turned whitish. not blond...

I didn't know there was a thing as a red head day til now. So I'll send her this wish..

[a kennedy]
