The beauty of Red Heads.....

I am thinking of trying out red hair, inspired by the likes of Tina Louise (Ginger in Gilligans Island), Wilma Flintstone and the gal in the Jive Aces film clip - not to mention Jessica Rabbit and Martia Cross. Thought I would post some pictures of particularly stunning red heads sporting 50's glam. For me its really all a matter of when, not if, any longer - life is too short to be left wondering and I am happy to leap in and have a crack at almost anything once !!!



















This is also a very convenient excuse to post pictures of my most favourite literary heroine, and all time red headed love of my life !! My darling friend Brookie thought it curious I had never gone red before this considering my adoration of........

Anne of Green Gables.

Guess I just never really had the courage before this particular phase of my life - but, thanks to my personal journey, I do now !!!

  1. Yay! I love being a redhead! I'd definitely recommend you get a red shampoo though, you'll get longer between colours and it stays vibrant for longer. Red definitely fades quickest out of all colours but it's worth the extra time :)

  3. I was a readhead for about a year, but found that the colors I wanted to wear would clash with my hair. After I died my hair black, I learned I could wear anything I wanted.

  4. YES! Red is so lovely and so much fun (and I'm not just saying that because I'm a redhead).

    I really love this collection of redhead images! And thanks for reminding me that I need to re-visit Anne of Green Gables!

  5. I agree with Miss Dilemma. I love being a redhead too. I've been many different colors, but reds have the most fun! Like she stated above, it does fade very quickly. It may take a few colorings before the color really sticks. There are so many different shades of red too. So, I'm sure you will find one that you love. Can't wait to see photos!

  6. I love red hair! I've often wished I had natural red hair. I used to try to die my hair but it just never looked quite right...
