Should You Be a Blonde, Brunette, or Redhead?

By Lucille Sorella

One of the best parts of being a girl is experimenting with your look – and that includes hair color! Changing your hair color or trying a new wig is the fastest way to transform your image.

So should your femme self be a blonde, brunette, or redhead? It all depends on the image you want to project. Here’s what each color says about you:

blondeBlonde

Blonde is the most feminine hair color. It’s a fun, lively shade that attracts a lot of attention. Blondes are seen as bubbly, youthful, and approachable.

I think every woman should go blonde at least once in her life, but it’s crucial to choose the right shade. Brassy blonde looks tacky, while a shade that’s too light makes you look washed out.

brunette3Brunette

Brunettes are perceived as intelligent, sophisticated, and seductive. Go brunette if you want to show off your mysterious side. 51% of men prefer brunettes, so it’s a color that will also get you noticed.

Just be sure to choose the right shade. Going too dark can drain the color from your face.

redhead2Redhead

Only 3% of the population is redheaded, so red hair makes you stand out. Redheads are known for having fiery personalities. The stereotype is that redheads are sexpots and femme fatales.

Red is flattering shade that brings color to your face. Red ranges from strawberry blonde to bright red to deep auburn. Your best shade depends on your skin tone and eye color.

    Good advice as always Lucille! You are the best in this arena, and really own the space of feminization for all women.
    Best,

    I just love being a Redhead . . . . but, as my flickr photo gallery reflects, I enjoy being any other color so long as it looks and feels feminine . . .

    I believe it is necessary to experiment and find out which color not only fits your skin color but also your personality.

    Like they say – blonde is more than a color – it is a view on life.

    I am a decided red head. My girlfriend wanted me as a blonde, I got some blonde highlites for my very dark hair, and I got red!

    So I “decided” to saty that way!

    she loves it now too.

    I believe that hair cilor has a lot to do with your skin tone and ethnic background. Choosing the wrong color can be devestating. I totally think one should try and stay as natural looking as possible in order to be totally passable. Nothing looks better than your own long beautifull hair no matter what color you are. So if you are lucky enough to be able to grow your own long beautiful head of hair, try to remember what your true color is and stay as close to it as possible. This will let you blend in and be the women you always wanted to be! All my love! Good luck girls. Dee.
