Are you a natural redhead?

Yes!


I got my grandmother’s hair. I was the first grandchild; it came through two generations later.

Have you ever had a different hair color?

Of course, for a couple of years, when I was a teenage punk hairdresser, it was kind of part of the job. I’m glad that was short-lived. It’s been natural since I was 19.

I enjoy being a redhead and would never color my hair. It suits my complexion, and it's mine, though I didn’t like it so much in school. I got teased. Kids can be cruel. They’ll tease you about anything unique.

What does being a redhead mean to you?

It’s who I am. Hair is everything

How do you describe your shade of red?

Ginger, of course

Favorite redheads?

Maybe Jane Asher
Ann-Margret
Julia Roberts, but she’s not a natural redhead.
