I really hope not! I naturally have jet black hair (due to my Portuguese/Jewish/Chinese ancestry) and dyed it ginger in an attempt to look more interesting
I'm a ginger guy who's never worried so much about hair colour as I never had a *massive* issue with the opposite sex, and although I'd prefer not to have abuse yelled at me in the street, I'm pretty secure in myself.
But the other day I took part in a sociology experiment where I dyed my hair dark brown and got a modest fake tan, the premise being "do people treat you differently when you're not ginger". I thought the whole idea was pretty stupid, but I was being paid, so I went along with it.
Oh dear god.
All of a sudden girls were saying I was hot. Like before I was being mostly ignored, but as soon as I covered up my red hair, I was attractive. Girls started hitting on me, and my female friends started saying I should just keep myself like this. Which I am actually seriously tempted to do. At least for a while.
But it still made me think.
Is ginger hair really THAT unattractive a quality? I always figured that most of the hate came from some kind of cultural demonising rather than it actually being offputting. Or that it was more directed at the freckles (which I don't have) that go hand in hand with a bunch of insances of the hair colour.
Would love to hear opinions.
My boyfriend is ginger... not the bright orange kind, it's fairly dark, but he's definitely still a red head and I love it Before him I had never really thought about the hair colour in terms of its attractiveness, but it really suits him and people often tell me how good looking he is I think it is because he is really confident in himself though. It's good you're not bothered by it, but maybe brown just suits you more than red, in the same way red definitely suits my guy more
my ex is ginger!! and i LOVED it!..made him so unique..it was more of an auburn type of ginger..like it looked brown normally, but when the light or sun hits it you could see a shimmer of dark red. so hot!...plus he had green eyes..which complemented the hair.
ps. autumn colors suit gingers best! (yellow, brown, green..)
