What is your natural hair colour?

Bougeoir

Light Brown

I'm a natural ginger. My hair colour is that real Irish Celtic/Viking red, like very vibrant. I used to hate when I was a teenager because I used to get bullied for it! So I dyed it dark for years but it's all natural again and I appreciate it. Get so many more compliments now! Especially whilst abroad. :P

Same here. It's very very very dark brown but everyone calls it black. Have never died my hair (although people always presume I do because I have blue eyes) and every time I hear how much my friend's highlights cost I'm glad it's too dark to dye!

I think mines a light to dark brown. If ya get me.

I've been dying it since I was around 16 as the grey hairs started to appear then. Curse my genes! The greys have been growing (terrible pun there) in numbers over the years and some are getting very cheeky and growing close to my forehead which means I'll get less time out of each colour. Booooo to that.

Mine's a sort of reddish-brown. The red only comes out in the sunshine though! I started having highlights in mine at age 12 (my gran's a hairdresser!) but when I got to college, I was almost totally blonde! Decided to grow it out and go back to my natural colour, and it took so long that I'm never, every dying it again. I like the colour it is now!

I'm dark blonde and presently I have blonder highlights. Sometimes I go darker.

The first time I dyed it as a teenager I used a home bleach kit and my friend went a bit crazy with it LOTS of tutting from the hairdresser when I went to get the roots done. OOPS.

I've been quite dark too, but my mom drew the line at dying it black..."look at the colour of your eyebrows, love". So wise.

I consider myself happy with my hair considering my sister and mom have ginger strawberry blonde hair. And my father and brother have less hair every day :pac:

Why is this so common? My boyfriend has very dark brown hair that looks almost black in the winter, but his beard is at least 50% ginger! I have another friend who's the exact same as that too. It's bizarre.

It is an indication of a high sex drive, and that your fella was meant to play his part in the ginger apocolyse by making more.

I don't know, it's weird! Maybe an age thing? First ginger then the Dread Grey!!!

Seriously it just means your a carrier of the gene.

Dark Brown

I was light Blonde until I was about 12 then it got darker gradually to Light Brown. My Mum is hairdresser she starting putting highlights in my hair when I was 14, gradually getting lighter until I was almost white :eek: so I dyed my hair back to light brown and then Mahogony/Auburn ever since. I love having Red Hair.

When I was younger, I had light blonde hair and as the years have gone by, it is now dark blonde, never dyed my hair yet!

Damn straight!:D I had light brown hair and I dye it red. Im currently trying every red colour available! Any recommendations? Or do you get it done at the hairdressers? Too expensive to get it done professionally IMO especially when my best mate will do it for me for free and the dye only costs a tenner! Happy days.

Light Brown

My hair is this weird brownish with bits of red and dark brown thrown in. I have never dyed it, nor do I plan to. If I screwed up, I'd never be able to fix it :eek:.

Dark Blonde

Natural blonde.

Sometimes its been helped blonder, and less often I've had lowlights in to give it a bit of depth and texture. Its very fine, and without styling its very straight.

Damn right! I've medium brown hair and dye it red. No complaints so far. (oh except one woman I look after in the nursing home said she didn't like it.)

My natural hair colour is "brownie-reddie-blonde" as described by my hairdresser.

I think this would be the technical term for my hair colour too. :P

I call it brown but depending on the light I'm standing in, it could be red or blonde. I've just come back from holidays, and the sun has turned it a proper strawberry-blonde!

Haven't touched dye yet. I like my hair colour, and reckon if I dye it, I'll never be able to get it back to my natural colour, so I don't plan to!

Light Brown

Auburn/Dark red. Put some blond highlights in it in my early 20's which was fine, but I was still a redhead. Next time I went, I emerged as a blonde with red streaks, which didn't suit my skin tone at all. So I went back to my natural colour and have stayed that way since. Occasionally I get the urge to experiment but the most adventurous I go is a slightly darker or lighter shade of red!

dark brown boardering on black, was never allowed to dye it when i was younger but the day i turned 18 i went mental, purple, red, copper, blonde highlights, pink highlights, post box red highlights. But in the last few years i have just been getting it back to my natural color, and now there are a few grey lads poking through. Gonna dye it again but keep as close to my natural colour as possible!

Corb

They say your natural colour is what suits you best? I really don't think so but that's what I've heard.

Twee.

Light Brown

I voted for red, but it's that kind of reddie-blondie-maybe brown colour! Had it dyed dark red for a few months and really liked it so I might go back for the autumn. I do get a lot of compliments on the colour which is nice, but also had good few people touch my hair from behind, giving it a wee stroke :eek: Didn't like that!

RxQueen

was very ginger when younger, then went more blond like, and now its gone a dark ginger thankfully :P

mever dyed it either, always gets asked who coloured it for me, people dont believe that its natural
