Who is your favorite redhead? (Henna)

[tja]

You might know who's mine seeing my avatar :) Amy Adams was originally a blonde like I am and she turned red at the beginning of her acting career.

I dyed my hair red as well few times with henna and I got nice results. Now I am blonde again but I will wait for my hair to grow and I will do henna again to achieve (hopefully) the color she has in "Enchanted" movie.

Who is your favorite redhead? It can also be a family member :) Are you trying to achieve the same hair color with henna and herbs?

[Elenna]

Nightshade of course! :pumpkin:

[Vrushali]

Nightshade of course! :pumpkin:

I second that!!:cheer:

[cocolover]

Famous redheads: Julianne Moore, Isla Fisher, and I also love Amy Adam's hair.
On this board there are so many gorgeous redheads I can't single just a few out :D

[Gumball]

I can't be sure I have a favorite redhead! Go figure.

[Roseate]

On this board there are so many gorgeous redheads I can't single just a few out :D

Isn't that the truth! I love lurking over in the "show us your henna" thread. I've seen more gorgeous red hair here than I've ever seen IRL. If I could be bothered with the upkeep I'd join them in a second!

[Samara Morgan]

My famous one is Bryce Dallas Howard :inlove: I love her :cloud9: There are lots of lovely redheads on the LHC too :agree:

[Islandgrrl]

Um.....me?

Oh, oops. I guess I should qualify that. I'm a redhead, but I henna anyway - just the gray stuff!

[tja]

I have seen all the beautiful results in the "show us your henna"! It's amazing how different and beautiful the result can be! There are many inspiring henna heads here! :)

[Fencai]

Lucille Ball..... I adore her. She is truly one of my idols! (Henna and all!)
on our vacation DH took me to both the Lucille Ball and Lucy and Desi museums :)
I even bought a Lucy purse :)
She rocks my socks!

[CaityBear]

Nightshade! She's the one I remember the most. lol She has the shade I always would love to get. But then again I also love the red I have now.

I remember going through the one henna thread and found a couple other people who had a shade of red that I just loved, but that was soooo many months ago I don't remember who they were.

But I do admit there are A LOT of gorgeous redheads here.

[Cherry_Sprinkle]

Marcia Cross :crush:

I fourth Nightshade!! Her now colour is great!

[kmangus]

I fifth Nightshade!!!!!! :D She is amazing allaround!!!

[nyemelis]

Ariel or Nicole Kidman.

I used to have red hair through college and part of high school. I loved it, and the only reason I stopped was maintenance/cost and wanting to grow my hair long and enjoy my natural color.

[LittleOrca]

Kate Winslet made a fantastic red head, but if we are talking natural... I think Kerri Green (Think Goonies) was cute.

[RedJen]

I like Islandgrrl's hair. Also Khrystyne Haje (remember her- from Head of the Class?) Also, my friend Candi and that one girl I met in Lawrence, KS as we were furtively checking out each others' hair! Plus there are so many beautiful red hairs here!

[serious]

Definitely rach and twolunarspring!
I love that cool red shade of henna!

[ncurls]

My mom is my favorite redhead.

[Aer]

Stephanie Weir from Mad TV (she went blond when she started her career). Boudicca,the historical Celtic warrior Queen of the Iceni, my grandmother, and Conan O'Brien.

[linuxgirl]

Conan O'Brien is the best male redhead hands down. :D

I adore Kirsten Dunst as a redhead in Spiderman. I so want to achieve that color with henna.

[Merlin]

My wife, the most gorgeous natural redhead in the known universe (and probably several unknown ones).

[DecafJane]

Definitely Marcia Cross. Or Tori Amos. (I know Tori isn't a natural redhead.) :)

[Tomato]

@Merlin: That is very nice and romantic..... your wife is very lucky to be married to you!

My favourite red head is Pipi Langstrumpf, a character invented by Astrid Lindgren. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippi_Longstocking
I don't know if anybody knows her in the US.
I loved the books and the tv show when I was a child, I loved the red hair, the unruly Pipi, her anarchism, her independence and her horse. :eyebrows:

[JCFantasy23]

The one that comes to mind is Shirley Manson from the grunge band Garbage

I forgot about her, she wore the color beautifully.

[freckles]

Alyson Hannigan (natural redhead) or Christina Hendricks (redhead by choice).

Oh, and of course, my dad, my grandma, my aunt, my uncle, and me (I'm the only borderline-redhead-maybe-it's-brown in this list so I don't know if I count :D).

[Nightshade]

Thank you so much for those that mentioned they liked my color :inlove:

I'd have to second Tori Amos, Shirley Manson, and toss in Sarah McLachlan when she was a redhead.

http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2008/08/13/saram.jpg

[getoffmyskittle]

Ms Monnie? :D

I'm definitely not going for her color, though it's lovely. :p

[amaiaisabella]

Alyson Hannigan (natural redhead) or Christina Hendricks (redhead by choice).


I just started watching Mad Men and I looooove CH's color! It looks great with her skintone :)

[Bianca]

Danish Anne lindfjeld is my favorite.

[Medievalmaniac]

I don't have a favorite redhead, although I tend to love the auburn - haired best of all. I do think Rose McGowan wore red very well when she tried it on for a while. Obviously, I love the redheads on LHC! lol Kate Winslet was stunning in her red haired stage, I regret she chose to return to blond. Also, the actress who played Anne in Anne of Green Gables, Megan Follows, wore the light red well (I think she is naturally a blond)

[windinherhair]

Lucille Ball..... I adore her. She is truly one of my idols! (Henna and all!)
on our vacation DH took me to both the Lucille Ball and Lucy and Desi museums :)
I even bought a Lucy purse :)
She rocks my socks!

Even though I am not trying to get red hair, I am going to say Lucille Ball too. I am a big fan also. :)

[Isilme]

Well, Nightshade has a gorgeous shade of red, so does Rach, and Mrs. Monnie. Pegs had a beautiful shade as well. From TV I'd like to mention Jessica from True Blood.
And of course my aunts and my mother when they were true redheads!

[Tap Dancer]

No question: Lucille Ball. :)

[Samara]

I LOVE Shirley Manson

[linuxgirl]

OMG, I totally forgot about Shirley Manson! I saw her in the Sarah Conner Chronicles and was all "Man, apparently T-1001's can rock red!" and got all swoony.

[kwaniesiam]

Nightshade of course.

Also Simone Simmons from Epica:

[Tangles]

Nightshade and RedCelticCurls :) Amoretti has the perfect shade of brownish auburn, a quite rare one at that.

[MandaMom2Three]

My wife, the most gorgeous natural redhead in the known universe (and probably several unknown ones).

Awwwwwwww

And my vote goes to Hypnotica!

[Leena7]

I am fond of Nicole Kidman as a red head. I loved her as Satine in Moulin Rouge! I also am a fan of Maureen O'Hara.

[Leena7]

P.S. I have gone red a couple of times. Usually coppery, but sometimes darker auburn.

[shadowclaw]

I always loved Nicole Kidman's red hair (although I think she went blonde now), especially in Moulin Rouge. Julia Roberts, too, in Pretty Woman.

However, I've seen much prettier shades of red here on LHC. Some that immediately come to mind are Nightshade, PegasusMarsters, Hypnotica, and Cherry_Sprinkle.

Lucille Ball and Anne of Green Gables (the character in the book as well as the movie actress) come to mind. Also, Maureen O'Hara, from the original Parent Trap movie. I love her hair color and I think she's gorgeous.

Oh and Dr. Beverly Crusher. Just because I'm a Star Trek nerd.

Absolutely! Long red haired men are so rare.

I think we have a lot of people with really beautiful red hair (henna & natural) here on the board, can't think of names, there are too many!

[rach]

nightshade before and the now, Hypnotica, kimberlily, Emichiee, Remke, Heidi_234, Ms Monnie there are so many. i just adore the colour that's my problem :o

[Nightshade]

Nightshade of course.

Also Simone Simmons from Epica:

Wow, she's gorgeous! You rarely see a spouse of a politician with long flowing hair at all, much less bright red.

[jesamyn]

Maureen O'Hara would have to be my favorite redhead.

[Amoretti]

Awww, thank you, dear Tangles! :flowers:

Gillian Anderson(Xfiles)
Nightshade
Hypnotica

[lookingglass]

Rach, Persephassa, and Remke on LHC have particularly amazing red hair!

[jel]

I admire a lot of golden-red, Boticcelli-esque hair on LHC. However, my favourites are bolder shades of red, like Hypnotica or Remke.

[Fethenwen]

Princess Fiona from Shrek

http://bsbingo.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fionashrek.jpg

Ok, her hair is digital :p But this long braid is something that I would love to have myself, so thick and long, I also love the color. This pic doesn't even really show the braid, but it is down to her tailbone.

[dearladydisdain]

Amy Adams and Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada. :) I know there are many others, I just can't think of them right now.

[chesapeake]

Elizabeth Kucinich (Congressman Dennis Kucinich's wife) has lovely long red hair (natural). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Kucinich

Yes! I love her. I love to see a shout-out to the Kucinich folks. Also, Tori Amos and from LHC, Kimberlily.

[vampodrama]

My favourite redhead... Tori Amos, mostly.

But my ultimate semi-subconscious influence comes from an ancient swedish (or norwegian, can't be sure any more) romance novel, I can't remember the title, but there was a woman whose hair was frequently described as dark red, long snaky curls. I read this book several times in my teens and the image just stuck with me forever it seems - of course the woman was a negative character, possibly a witch even, and died a horrible death which she apparently deserved or something (I have always had a thing with preferring negative characters). So she has been my longtime inspiration - I do have somewhat dark red hair now, but alas, snaky curls I will never have :D

[Heidi_234]

Josh Homme? :D

Though color-wise it would be Rach, former Nightshade, Remke, former Rini, Hypnotica, vampodrama... Well you got the idea :p

Was it from the Kristin Lavransdattir books?

I have to add I also love Elizabeth Kucinich's hair. It was so nice to see a woman on the campaign trail who doesn't conform (although, she is, of course, beautiful as well!)

[vampodrama]

Was it from the Kristin Lavransdattir books?



No, it wasn't. I found the book from my other stuff and the author's name is something like Anny Wothe (the book is in old gothic script so I am not too sure with the name...), but it has no information on the original (the book was printed in 1924) so I don't even know from which language it was translated or what's the original title or anything like that. I suspect it might actually be german, although the story takes place in Norway. THis is why in my previous post I stated it was an "ancient swedish novel", haha.

[redpepper]

I love, love, love redheads. I truly like most shades of red.

But off the top of my head I too like Elizabeth Kucinich's hair, I also like Cherry Sprinkle and Red Jen. Pretty shades. :)

[GlassEyes]

Color-wise, or personality wise?

Well, for both, they'd be Nightshade and formerly, Pegs. :shrug: They're two of my favorite people on the boards. :p There are others, obviously--Rach, ilovelonghair, vampodrama, hypnotica, etc. etc. that all have quite lovely shades of red, but I don't talk to a lot of them as much as say, Pegs.

In real life, it'd be my friend Jill, who has ginger-new-copper-penny hair, almost pale enough to be strawberry, but too red besides.

That said, I love red hair. If I happened to be pale skinned (obviously, I'm not :lol:) I would totally be dying my hair some dark, venomous shade of red. :D Also, I wish to collect redheads like pokemon and hide them underneath my bed, especially the male ones. GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL.:p *not creepy at all*

I am not sure if she used henna to dye her hair, but I absolutely loved Dr. Cameron's hair on the TV show House (before she dyed it blonde). That hair color was amazing.

[Tressie]

Katherine Hepburn, Greer Garson & Maureen O'Hara, and the lovely red haired people at LHC!

[chamogirl]

My son Aaron's hair and the freckles that go with it.
When I was a young woman I wanted a little red headed boy and I got one!!!

[BringMeThunder]

I have to agree, Bryce Dallas Howard is gorgeous. I also love Nicole Kidman's hair, Kate Winslet's hair, and a character from an old novel I read as a teenager, called Avalon, whose main character had long, unruly red waves.

[Gingevere]

Me, of course! Just kidding... not really. ;) But besides my wonderful self... another natural redhead named Isla Fisher. Her hair is gorgeous, especially when it's down and free-flowing. Her hair isn't very long in this photo, but it still looks great!

I also love Lizzie Siddal in Desperate Romantics (the actress Amy Manson doesn't have nearly as impressive hair IRL):

[Dark Rosaleen]

I have a few more to contribute, and I'm suprised that I initially forgot about them. Reba McEntire is one of my favorite redheads, as is the girl that plays her daughter Kira on her tv show. I believe her name is Scarlett in real life.

[hennaphile]

I don't know for sure, but some that I like are Toof and Nightshade :)

And Aisha of course!

[Stephichan]

I know it's very fake, but Hayley Williams has some of the loudest red hair out there. She's done a lot of different red shades, but I like this one the best:

I also love the red hair on these boards. I'd list my favorites, but there are just too many!

[Cat Lady]

Felicia Day, and Shirley Manson both have incredible red hair. I LOVE Shirley's hair in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It's so perfect.

[Loviatar]

I dont have a favourite on LHC, they're all amazing.

Off LHC, Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls; Tori Amos; Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg; the model 'Threnody in Velvet' who works for Fairy Goth Mother; Jane Goldman
