So I was talking to Lagoon earlier and he mentioned he is a natural red head. So I dare you reader go search 'natural red head'. You will find a whole spectrum range of colors so I'm bringing this question up for everyone else- what the heck is a red head?
Why the heck are we calling people that have ORANGE and let me repeat that again ORANGE hair red heads? So Orange= Red now? And half of those 'red heads' I see in the google search images have goldish brown hair. Or heck brown hair with a hint of red to it.
I have never seen a natural 'red head' as in their hair is red naturally. I don't believe a person like that exists. I think having a term to describe all the hair colors that fall under 'red' is a bad idea because SERIOUSLY HALF OF THESE ARE BROWNISH RED AND THE OTHER HALF ARE EITHER ORANGE OR A RED-ORANGE (btw funny story about brown hair it so happens to be a darker shade of orange or yellow on the color slidy-wheel-thingie).
Is orange heads really that hard to say, or is it not nice because orange is a fruit?
-ends rant-
Go on Lagoon post something below- I know you want to. Plus I would love your valuable insight on the red head matter.
Yeah, okay, so...*chuckles* I don't, and none of my other ginger brethren, care what we get called. I personally prefer the term copper to describe my hair color, but that's because mine is darker. It really depends on the person. Some of them are carrot tops, others are copper heads, there's a bunch of terms we use for each other. Well, that's what it's always been like between me and others.
