r/Redhair

contrary to popular belief;(

(I’m being dramatic with the title. I’m really just curious.) I’ve been a blonde my whole life, like one of those that started white and gradually turned more golden as I got older. When I started my new job last year, all of a sudden people started calling me “Red” or “the girl with the red hair,” “Strawberry,” etc.

I don’t care either way since I’ve always been blonde, but I’ve always LOVED red hair and am curious what actual redheads think? I tried to include a bunch of different lighting.

i made a post here before and i was told i am a red head. everybody in real life calls me a redhead and asks if my hair is red but i still feel like an imposter. i feel like my hair is just BARELY red. or the red is so slight that it passes as brown but also makes you question what color you're seeing. when it comes to individual strands, the shades are crazy. i have unmistakably red strands, blonde strands, PLATINUM blonde strands, browns strands, strawberry blonde strands. and i don't really have a whole lot of freckles like real redheads. at least not on my face.

both of my parents are redheads and so are my siblings but they're straight up unmistakably red which may be feeding into my imposter syndrome. there are photos where my hair looks pretty red. others where it looks a weird yellowy goldy orangey blonde. others where it looks just straight brown? sometimes it only looks red at the roots?!?! natural lighting is also crazy. only 1, 5, & 7 don't have natural lighting.

some assurance might be nice? knowing one way or another what everyone thinks?

Hello everyone! 37 here and no gray hairs. The only ginger in my family, my mom says I get it from my grandparents who were Irish. Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Just for fun, I had my husband take a photo of my hair inside and outdoors to see how different it looks. I don't think it's started fading yet, but in the sun it does look lighter than I think of it in my head. Also, looking at these photos, I am baffled how my hair comes out looking brown in some pics.

Finally scored my style I've been searching for years, and many a salon, to get right.

Turns out, neighborhood barbershop was the place to go!!

I’m so tired of trying to find makeup products that don’t make me look whiter than I am… or insanely odd looking? I found this mascara? Supposedly it’s auburn/orange? But I’ve been fooled once before by these companies, anyways, I’ve tried H2BARH, Tart, revlon, and many many more, and they all just aren’t hitting yk? Does anyone have any recommendations? Or should I just go back to brown/black mascara😔

I love it do it too
