You're a natural redhead, right?

**pineapple pea** · May 29th, 2009, 09:18 PM

I get this almost every day from someone (usually older men) at work. It's a little gross, since there's that weird undertone of flirting/creepiness to it, emphasized by the fact it's 95% men who mention this to me. I love my henna, and I wouldn't stop using it, but I do wish I could stop the comments!
I do color in my eyebrows lightly so that they match a bit. I think that might be why people think it's natural, but do any other henna users have this issue?

Everyone assumes I am a natural redhead because I have fair skin and green eyes. People are pretty shocked when I tell them I'm not, but I like fooling people. I've never gotten in a creepy way and it's been a mix between men and woman. I can see why you think the comments you are getting are creepy, I hope I never get similar comments and I hope you stop getting them!

Imnot a henna head but those comments especially from men would freak me out. When i read it all i could imagine going through their heads was "do the carpets match the drapes?". Yeah ive meet alot of perverted guys sorry for the TMI

I've gotten it occasionally, I consider it a compliment though. Technically, henna IS natural

huh i get those comments mostly from women.. however you can easily answer that you are not.. i end up having to explain why my natural auburn hair with copper sunstreaks wasnt a good enough color for me and how it grows in brown and turns redder and redder as it gets longer until the ends are orange and the roots are brown.. and then i get all the comments on how they KNEW i must be a redhead because of my freckles and ultra pale skin.. and then i get the oh i thought all red heads had green or blue eyes.. and then i have to explain to the idiot that brown eyes are a dominant trait.. oh yes i am a freak, super pale skin dark brown eyes and a red hair gene all mixed together.. oh and lets not forget the freckles.. they always comment on the freckles..

oh ive gone off topic..

im not sure what you should do about the comments.. like i said i get the comments mostly from women

Yeah, I get it alot too. I am naturally red, but it faded and greyed and I like red. So I do henna, but it is natural too!

No that is definitely why it's creepy!!!!
No matter which answer I give, they are going to be picturing the 'carpet'! Ew.

My eyebrows don't really match my hair LOL! I do have people question if the reddish tone is natural though, so I guess they are giving me the benefit of the doubt
