I have lots of people tell me she is strawberry blonde , when she was born she was a bit more red

Is this just blonde or strawberry blonde? She has blue eyes, and strawberry blonde/ red head does run in the family both side, although I don't have it

I feel some days it looks more strawberry blonde , and other days it just looks plain blonde

Photos look quite different. It’s lovely, though, whatever you call it.

Beezknees · 07/02/2024 11:57

Strawberry blonde.

WYorkshireRose · 07/02/2024 11:57

I would have said it's just a warm toned blonde. My DS's was similar up until around the age of 2, but it's got lighter and lighter until now it's practically white blonde 🤷‍♀️

No idea if that's strawberry blonde but it's absolutely beautiful.

Rose1988xxxx · 07/02/2024 11:59

@MILTOBE thank you! I absolutely love her hair!! And I'm so pleased she has such amazing hair as I was bald till I was about 5 🤣

Strawberry blonde but oh those bands look tight!

paisley256 · 07/02/2024 12:01

Blonde

Rose1988xxxx · 07/02/2024 12:04

@Whatevershallidowithmylife the bands are definitely not tight.

Never have any issues getting them out as i make sure they are not to tight . They are very thin bands which make them appear tighter than they are.

The definition is it's blonde with warm, reddish tones. So yes, she is a strawberry blonde.

Personally I love that shade.

TheBirdintheCave · 07/02/2024 12:09

My son was a definite strawberry blonde when he was born and it looked like that: gingery in some photos and plain blonde in others His hair has darkened a little now that he's three to the point where I'd just say it was just blonde now unfortunately! I loved his strawberryness! 😥

mondaytosunday · 07/02/2024 12:32

The first looks like there's a tinge of red but the other two don't, so I'll say blonde.

Jasmin1971 · 07/02/2024 12:39

Honey blonde, exactly the same as mine was at that age

LittleGreenDragons · 07/02/2024 13:58

It isn't honey blonde, that has undertones of deeper yellow and brown.

Ash blonde has undertones of grey or white (think ice tones).

Strawberry blonde is the one with reddish or ginger tones.

Blonde is just that, no other colours are trying to say hello, look at meeee

mrsm43s · 07/02/2024 13:58

I would describe it as strawberry blonde right now, but I suspect as she grows up it will morph into honey/corn blonde, (and possibly even into a warm mousy brown, although she's pretty blonde and might stay the right side of that)

Strawberry blonde

NoOrdinaryMorning · 07/02/2024 14:11

Same as my DC! Who gets a lot of compliments on it. Beautiful! 😻

SgtJuneAckland · 07/02/2024 14:12

It's very similar to mine as a child, I'm now a full blown redhead
Can you see coppery tones in sunlight?

NoOrdinaryMorning · 07/02/2024 14:13

Who by the way, was born with copper colour hair like paternal GM. Now it's strawberry blonde and gorgeous. Your DD also has curls though unlike my DC whose hair is dead straight & fine but exact same colour 🍓

Ooh is yours Auburn? My DC's hair is coppery in sunlight. I'll be even more jealous if it ends up red or auburn!

SgtJuneAckland · 07/02/2024 14:16

@NoOrdinaryMorning yes auburn, I get blonder/coppery highlights when I go in the sun. Mine is curly too

ArchetypalBusyMum · 07/02/2024 14:16

My DD had hair that colour, all curls too. I was delighted, there is copper tones on my side so I hoped she was taking after me.
She's now 11 and heading to the dirty blonde of her father. Ah well can't win them all, she has a fabulous grin. 😁

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 07/02/2024 14:20

Golden blonde

Coricopat · 07/02/2024 14:22

I would say strawberry blonde.

Mine was the same colour as a toddler and darkened as I got older - ended up about the same colour as Jennifer Aniston's hair is in Friends. Kind of in the middle between brown and blonde and red.

NoOrdinaryMorning · 07/02/2024 14:23

@SgtJuneAckland First picture was DD's hair 3 years ago (orange t shirt) and second picture is currently.

ginasevern · 07/02/2024 14:24

Strawberry blonde. I was one too. Throughout my life people would comment on my beautiful hair colour (nothing like modesty)! The great thing is that we don't tend to go grey either. I am in my sixties now and my hair has gone almost platinum blonde but still with shades of copper when the sun catches it.
