What Your Hair Color Says About You

Natural or colored, your hair shade affects how the world sees you... and how you see yourself!

A lot of our self-image is based on the perceptions of other people. You partially view yourself through others' eyes and act accordingly. That's why the color of our hair tends to stereotype us.
Here's the deal of what that means for all you redheads, blondes and brunettes.

Red Hair

There are very few natural redheads - only 3 perfect of the population is said to have fabulous fiery locks. For centuries, redheads have had to fight stereotypes. For many, red hair atop a female head automatically conjured images of wild women, hotheads, femme fatales, sex kittens.
Redheaded women are often portrayed as strong, independant women. They are usually seen as feisty Irish "tough girls".
"Red is the new blond," says Tim Rogers, editorial stylist and spokesman for Charles Worthington hair and beauty salons in London. "She is a head-turning hybrid between the moody brunette and the bubbly blonde. She's not afraid to have fun and get noticed."
Red hair compliments brown which seems to be the color in fashion this season.Red hair adds more depth and contrast, especially for those who have fair skin (such as myself). Red hair also seems to have more shine, which can make your hair look more healthy and beautiful. Just remember that contrary to popular belief, red color can fade fast causing you to constantly maintain your locks whether through color glaze or regular spritz of SPF!

Blonde Hair

Do blondes really have more fun? Hmmm...Maybe. Blonde is a happy color that reminds me of chilling on the California Beaches in the summer!

People see blondes as having more youthful vitality than other colors, and blonde hair can make you look much younger. There's a subtle correlation between youth and blondness, since babies and children tend to have lighter hair than adults.


But what about the Dumb Blonde Jokes you ask?? The Dumb-Blonde jokes are old my friends... Modern blondes are perceived as powerful, independent and of course, still very sexy.
Blonde hair tends to require alot of attention to keep it looking glamorous and healthy, so blondes can give off the impression of high maintenance.

Brown Hair / Brunette

Brunettes project a grounded, stable image. Darker colors also connote earthiness. If you are wanting a more serious, sophisticated look, try a darken brunette hair color.
76 percent of American women think the first female president will have brown hair, according to Allure magazine.
According to a study into hair colour and the intensity of attraction, 51% of men thought brunettes were more attractive. Brunettes were described as intelligent, independent and self-sufficient. Two-thirds of the men said the brunette women appeared stable and competent.
Women with medium-length darker hair such as Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Garner areperceived as smarter and more fun loving.
