I've got some natural red in my hair and my cousin is a gorgeous redhead.

I've purposely died my hair a gorgeous auburn in the past and think it looked rather fab myself.

My parents didn't think so though, before my graduation my mother pased on that my father had mentioned to her that I "wasn't planning to graduate with orange hair" was I and took me to the hairdressers to have it dyed a "normal" colour!

A rogue hairdresser also manged to dye it a kind of purple once as well (it was meant to be dark with a purple hued as business client's don't tend to expect their lawyer to have purple hair) and my colleague called me beetroot head for weeks.

Apologies for the typo and accidental misuse of apostrophe!

My sister in law is a red-head. Have been with her when people have made rude comments. I don't understand. What the hell has hair colour got to do with anything?
Its usually boys 14 - 20 that think its hilarious to cough "ginger" behind their hands or worse "stinks of p*ss" (never understood that one but its a recurring theme). She never defends herself but I'm quite feisty and can't stop my self from saying something.
Makes me really mad.

Pixie, just call them {14-20 year olds} ''Needle Dick'' when they make anymore comments, i know it brings you down to there level, but sometimes, fighting ''fire with fire'' has a very good effect

During the week, I was stopped at the traffic lights watching the kids from the school cross over.. Amongst them was a very pretty girl with a gorgeous head of long red hair. The thought came to my mind " a rose in a garden of weeds"

I love red heads, my first wife had the most gorgeous long curling auburn hair and our son Danny has strawberry blonde/ gingery hair. I have to say that yeah ginger jokes are rife, even between the kids, but it really doesn't bother him, although no-one should have to put up with being got at because of their hair colour.

I agree with you Nox people shouldn't be judged by the colour of their hair and I don't judge people by that, I just find a "true ginger" unattractive, its the way i am, it cant be helped being ginger, it cant be helped that i find them unattractive.
We all have preferences and I don't think I am narrow minded, its just the way the mop flops I suppose.

LOL laurence. I have committed the phrase to memory!

A friend of mine has ginger hair and her hubby so none of us were suprised when their 3 kids came out ginger. They all have a lovely natural shine to their hair. I love ginger hair especially Damian Lewis,he played Solmes in The Forsyte Saga plus other programmes.

Oh, daisy48, you've found my weakness. Damian Lewis (also in Band of Brothers) is my ultimate knee-trembler. I salivated continuously throughout the All Star Cup where he was partnered with Jodi Kidd, b1itch (joking).
Also the supermodel Lily Cole is a proper "ginger" redhead and it certainly hasn't done her any harm at all.

You can't have Damian pixi, he's mine all mine:-)
