Easy question...

[Columbia River]

Is Auburn considered "red headed"?

[redmj]

I always considered it as such. I would say it is unless it is mostly brown with hints of red.

[supercupcakexx]

I usually think so =]

[Columbia River]

I started using Rainbow Henna Auburn over my natural level 5 with reddish tones. I was just trying to figure out if it was red or brown...either way I love my hair color and texture now. I love LHC for all I'm learning.

Uhm, looking at my signature picture...any idea if I'm shoulder length in back since I'm at bottom of neck, or do I have a couple more inches to go? This is another question that has me perplexed.

[UP Lisa]

Yes, it is.

[Roscata]

Yes. At least I've always considered it so. :D

[wooliswonderful]

Yep. When my daughter was a few months old we were at a restaurant and a hairdresser came by to compliment our "Gorgeous red-haired baby" and said that she had a striking auburn color. :)

[Lostsoule77]

Auburn is in the red family to me.

[Lissandria]

Yup! I just love red hair. All shades.

[luciferia]

Of course it is! ^^

[joflakes]

I'd say so, yes.

[MissManda]

Yes, I consider auburn to be in the "red" category since it has more red than brown. A color that has more brown but still has a distinct amount of red in it is what I think of as chestnut. :)

[jojo]

absolutely it is classed as red. red comes in all different shades from strawberry blonde to auburn id consider types of red!

[Nae]

Yeppers! Definitely red.

[fiddlefananb]

Definitely yes! I think I am considered auburn with bright red highlights naturally and I have been called red-headed many times. Also depends on the lighting. In bright sunlight, my hair is very red, in darker light it can look more brown so it depends, but it is considered red.

To me it depend on that shade.

Being a genetic redhead, I have a more strict opinion than most as to what makes a redhead. I have auburn hair myself and I am a redhead. However, some people have auburn hair that has only the slightest hint of red to it and I'm surprised when they call it red. They obviously don't have the redhead mutation.
