WIBU re. GINGER hair?

[Doctroo]

I have ginger hair. Long, lustrous ginger hair.

Not auburn, or anything like that... it's ginger. GINGER.

Lovely long ginger tresses that shine like copper in the sun.

People actually gasp in awestruck admiration as I trot past, my long ginger hair flowing out behind me like a mane of fire.

So.

I was having a coffee with a friend the other day, when they said, apropos of nothing, 'Oh, you're hair's not really ginger, you know, it's.... [and i can barely bring myself to type the words].... STRAWBERRY BLONDE.'

So I killed them.

WIBU?

YANBU!

I love ginger hair. I love strawberry blond too but it’s NOT the same!

No, you WNBU

It's strange that we have euphemisms for ginger hair! I bloody love it and think it looks gorgeous.

Strawberry blonde is not a real hair colour. These days it's called rose gold anyway 😜

My youngest is a copper haired beauty. I have never allowed anyone to describe him a ginger.

Hello fellow ginger! Mines out of a bottle :( haha isnt strawberry blonde a pale ginger? Not traffic cone bright? They be crazy.

One of my DC has copper coloured hair, it’s amazing and has only ever been the source of compliments, YWNBU...

Yes. If you’re ginger, you’re ginger. No need to pretend that you’re not.

I’d look hideous with ginger hair (totally wrong colouring). But people with ginger hair look great with their ginger hair.

Yanbu.

Ginger hair, and red hair in general, are simply beautiful

Strawberry blonde isn't the same as ginger ywnbu.

I used to have gorgeous long ginger locks but the children have all conspired together and I turned more and more white with each pregnancy

You cant buy proper ginger in a box either. I'm stuck with strawberry blonde out of a box.

I LOVE ginger hair! I was hoping DD would have ginger hair, it's in the family, but she didn't. So I hoped DS would be ginger, and he wasn't.

Pinning my hopes on some beautiful ginger grandbabies.

Ginger hair is lovely ,Do you need an Alibi op?

only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger

Oh I wanted to post that SillyMoomin!

No I think that's entirely reasonable. And I speak as the proud owner of two ginger DDs and a ginger dog. Let's reclaim the word ginger and be loud and proud about it! Bloody love a good ginger - or even a bad ginger at times...

reinette i use semi perm bright oranges i dillute with conditioner and it produces a lush bright ginger colour.

Great minds pointy

@MarthaArthur I might give that a go. It just looks so dull compared to the photos from my youth.

yanbu! But when you said you trotted past I did wonder for a moment if you were a lovely chestnut horse!

Did you kill BigFatFanny?

(because Ive never heard of a horse being referred to as ginger in colour only named ginger!)

They said "you are hair's" that just doesn't make sense!

YANBU. I recently saw a teenage girl with long shinging bright ginger hair and it was just gorgeous. No way can it be mistaken for Strawberry blond!!

There are different shades of “ginger”, maybe your friend was just trying to say that.

Nice that you have lovely hair though
