Rise of the Redheads? It may seem so because we are everywhere latley. Be it Karen Elson from the White Stripes, Ginger faced Conan O’Brian or Alan Mually the red haired CEO of Ford. Many people felt bad for their redheaded brethern when they were younger, but it seems to have changed.
Redheads have often been though of as stubbotn like Nancy Drew who never let a mystery win or sassy like Kathy Griffin or even adventurous like 2010 Winter Games gold-medalist Shaun White. Red-haired woman often get billed as sex symbols like Christina Hendricks, Ann-Margret and Julia Roberts. Its always been dissapointing to me personally that men with redhair never get such an honor. Could you imagine a redheaded member of the beatles? It just wouldnt have worked. Instead we get Carrot Top or Howdy Doody.
Hair colouring products are also releasing many shades stacked with reds. The Matrix Dream Age brand of hair dye has six of its 10 new colours made up of warm colours like gold, orange and copper. Some hair salons are even reporting a higher number of visits looking to turn their hair red. Aaron Micheal a stylist at Cole Street Salon in Birmingham says he now sees two clients a week that want to go red rather then the one or two a month a couple years ago.
If you’re feeling a little down, isn’t being a hot, sexy redhead a little more inspiring?
