Hair colour and personality traits

[Ms_Lilith]

I have naturally golden-blonde hair. And in the last few years, I've had red, burgundy, black, purple, and multicolored hair. Last night I dyed my blonde hair burgundy for the first time in almost a year. Strange to wake up with dark hair.

I realized, though, that with the different hair colors, I've had certain characteristics stand out more.

Blonde: I feel natural, I feel pretty, but very simple. I feel like I dont stand out, and that I'm not striking. I feel like a nice girl.

Black: Dark, gothic almost. I love how shocking my green eyes look, and people tend to think that I'm someone moody and scary. Sometimes I am.

Purple: I just feel funky and freaky. Pretty simple.

Burgundy: I feel sophisticated, mysterious, powerful.. and I act as such, and I get away with it.

Red: I'm libidinous and bitchy.. and yet I have the most sex when I'm a redhead.. I love being red... and so when the burgundy fades, my sexpot attitude will return with full force.


Everyone has always told me that blondes have more fun... and I think that's bunk. I've always had the most fun as a redhead.. what are your experiences? What characteristics correspond with your hair color?

Red is nice
So is blonde
of brunette I am fond
Strawberry Blonde is sumptuous too
But whatever the hair
First I have to like you.

So true! My natural color is blonde, but I have changed it many times as well. I like dark red because my eyes really stand out, but after a few weeks the novelty wears off and I don't really feel like myself. Besides my skin is so fair that dark doesn't really suit me...I look ghostly pale unless I wear tons of makeup.

Blonde is definitely me....I feel angelic and sweet and that's just who I am.

I have dark brown hair with bright red chunks in it. It's tons of fun, I tell ya. My hair refuses to go blonde, so I'll never know what that's like...

I've never noticed a big change in myself when I had the purple highlights, or the cherry chocolate coloring.

Hmm.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

Like you, Lisa, I'm pale, but that's what I love about being dark-haired.. the creamy whiteness of my skin stands out, and I feel beautiful. (I've never been able to tan in my life, so even when I'm blonde, I'm pale.. I just go outside for 5 mins and I'm a lobster... ) My green eyes go well with red hair, too..

I have dark brown hair.
But a few years ago I got tired of it because ... well.. I felt I looked so... generic... I mean brown eyes, brown hair...
so I died it. I didn't want to go blond because that was just a bit too dramatic.
So I went blue black. I love it!
I looks so wounderfull against my skin. I've been told that the color brings out my eyes more. & I feel so much better in it.

I've been a couple of different shades, mainly red tones and a few strange combinations of black. The darker colors tend to bring out the devilish side of me more. I get playful in the way I dress and just have fun with it. The reds (like the panels I have now) make me feel sexy.

I'm a dark brunette - half Asian, so it suits. I get a lot of compliments on my hair (it's long) so I guess it must look ok! Have NEVER had trouble attracting the guys, but I've wondered what it would be like to be blond. It would take a wig, I guess.

My little girl is blond (dishwater or dirty, what are they calling it these days?) - I'm very eager to help her do whatever she wants with it someday!

Thanks Vixon - interesting thread!

Anything in a box with the word "plum" in it works for me.

Naturally, I'm a light/medium brown.


Oops..forgot to add the answers...as plum I feel more sassy, it just adds frass onto my natural sass.

Natural hair color is...hmm..I can hardly remember anymore.

I made the mistake of trying to home dye my hair with one of those semi-permanent auburn dyes. At the time, my hair was naturally pale-medium brown. Somehow, "auburn" translated into "flaming Ronald McDonald red" on my head. And with naturally curly hair, it was a sight to behold. I endured one day of it (I was afraid my hair would start falling out if I screwed with it anymore), and then the next day I spent a few solid hours in the shower, shampooing, rinsing, and repeating.

Now I'm naturally a dark brunette, and I like it. Low maintenance, and I don't look like an accidental freak.

Mine's been red, blue, black, blonde, and a darker shade of my own natural dark brown. I've had burgundy highlights, and then tried light brown highlights.

The reddish tones suit my colouring better, or blue black. I'm very fair and they play off the paleness of my skin.

I felt silly as a blonde...mostly because it didn't suit my skin. The hair just blended in with the skin on my face.

I prefer the colour that it is now. Dark reddish brown with threads of pure white running through it. It's the first time in almost ten years that I haven't dyed it to cover the grey.

 

[Aphrodisiac]

Well my hair is naturally black ... very black.

I love the color of my hair , I like how it contrasts against my skin color.

I have only dyed my hair once and the color I picked was an auburn color ... but it did not really take since my hair is so dark. I am going to try again some time this week, maybe this time around it will take - my mom keeps telling me I need to get @ least 3 boxes of hair dye and use them in one sitting in order for the color to actually take ... some times my mother says weird things...

I'm a blue-eyed blonde. Until my early 20's, my hair was white blonde; it's darkened to golden blonde with age. Though i've had a few highlights at times, i've never done more than that with respect to color in my hair and i don't intend to. As i age, my hair will slowly, inevitably, turn white - not gray.

Attitude is in the brain, not in the color of one's hair.

When i put on fetish clothing, i become a far more decadent woman than i am when i'm wearing my "mother" clothing. In both cases, in all cases, i'm always blonde.

I'm daring or not, shy or not, funny or not, thoughtful or not, bitchy or not due to who my brain wants me to be at the moment, not because of my hair color.

There are those for to whom hair color must be like fetish clothing is to me; that which you put on for certain occasions and suit certain moods. I see that with my 13 year daughter, a blonde like me but one who adds streaks of purple or pink or green or black to suit every whim and each different party.

In my case, my moods and needs wants and desires change - and those changes have nothing to do with the fact that my hair is always blonde.

I've been red, henna colored (brownish-red). But my natural color is kinda dirty blonde!!! Gosh when i was a baby i had blonde hair ....what happened!?!

 

[CoolidgEffect]

Going pretty Gray.

Feels old. Always a shock in the mirror. Damn it! I still feel 20 something. I don't think my hair color has really changed me.

 

[His_kitty]

I have dark hair and big brown eyes. The second time I applied blonde highlights (at home) I decided that I needed more highlights than I'd had from before.

Welllll suffice it to say, that my curiosity about what I'd look like blonde was cleared up real fast.

When I took the cap off my hair was this almost lemon yellow, with dark dark roots! I guess I gotta a lil carried away pulling my hair through the holes

I cried and cried, refused to let anyone but my grandma see me, and only her because she re-dyed it back.

So when I play with my hair color now I may vary on the shade of brown some, but normally I go with dark auburn (my natural color).

This image is going to be my "Lit Giggle of the Day". I just know it.

My hair is so dark brown that most people think it's black after a winter of not being outside, but in the summer it gets reddish and mahogany highlights, and yes it has a FEW strands of pure white hair, but I'm keeping them because I've earned them. I was hoping for a dramatic strip of white coming down one side like the geography teacher I used to have (she was a professional dancer and actress as well and always wore black...I thought it looked chic), but ya get what ya get.

I've had mahogany highlights put into my hair once, and loved the look. It lightened my hair up considerably. With dark olive skin and dark eyes, most blond shades look really odd on me. I went to one of those computer-generated hair color/style salons where they take a pic, make you bald, then you can try on different styles and colors. There was one shade of blond that looked okay. The others all scared me, and red just didn't match my skintone at all (though I love red hair!).

I used to wear aqua contact lenses, and those were a real heartstopper. Guys were following me around all over the place, and even my optometrist called and asked for a long weekened date of skiing after I'd gone back in for my followup visit. He said my eyes were so beautiful! I said, "Uh, they're yours!" heh Maybe I should have lent him the contacts for the weekend. I'm rather perverse in that if a guy tells me he's attracted to my looks first instead of saying how much he likes ME, I get turned off. Over-reaction I guess from high school when all the guys saw were my large breasts and never me. (hm Instant Insight: no wonder I let myself chunk up so much, I need a guy to prove it's ME he wants, not my body.) Was funny about the contacts though. And I loved the way they looked. I'd tried on the blue ones, but they made me look like an alaskan husky. The green ones were very nice too, but the other colors didn't do anything for me.

Right now, my hair is dark auburn. A couple of weeks ago, it was a light reddish brown... it's been blonde, magenta, black, fire engine red, and shaved. I'm not entirely sure what my natural color is. The last time I say the nat color was probably 9 years ago.

My personality doesn't change based on hair color though, at least I don't think it does.
