Turning 40 on Sunday and still ginger

[Tilpop]

Just that really,,,, natural red head who has never had her hair coloured. I'm considering low lights. Please can anyone advise me please? .... pic of my lockdown hair 😔

It’s a beautiful colour. Why do you want to change it?

You look stunning! Do not change your beautiful hair

Leave it alone!

I wouldn't change it either OP. Mine is similar and it's only since I've turned 40 and realised how grey all my friends are in lockdown that I appreciate my colour

You're hair is lovely but if you feel like a change I think I'd prefer high lights to low lights, especially coming in to the Summer.

Lovely colour and a young looking 40 considering current COVID situation
I know I’ve aged considerably!

It's lovely as it is, if you must then go to a hairdresser when they re open, you will regret doing it yourself.

I absolutely adore ginger hair. My SIL is 46 and she has flaming red hair, has never dyed it and it's beautiful. You are absolutely gorgeous and if I had hair like yours, I would dance naked in the street. For the sheer joy of it and just to show off. Leave it alone please please 😊

I turn 40 on Sunday too! Happy Birthday to us

Don't even think about touching it
And 40? You could pass for 25!

@Nordstrom Happy Birthday xxx

I think I'm going to leave it.... thank you everyone xx

Good outcome op, you have natural beauty and your hair colour suits you perfectly. I agree with the pp whi also said you look so much younger.

Don't touch it

I am ginger but fading... I'm a similar age. I'm actually adding the red back in... Be ginger and proud! You look amazing.

Leave it! Once you start colouring you have to keep going and it does change the state of your hair. Its a really pretty shade of red it would be a shame to cover it.

Leave it you look beautiful! And you've got your age wrong, 30 at the most.

Red hair fades to blonde/silver eventually. It doesn't actually grey, as such.

Leave it be as it's the best hair to go natural gracefully- it's does it all on its own, no need to mess.

Beautiful hair - you are so lucky!

If you want to try something then I'd think a few highlights for summer?

I'm curious OP. Do you have any children? Just thinking about the ageing after having children thread. I'd be willing to bet you don't as you look incredibly young.

@Chunkymenrock
Omg, I was thinking the same thing!

That's not ginger, it's bay. Don't change it.

@Chunkymenrock hi yes I have a little boy he is almost 8 months old, he is my first after years of IVF (I can't have children naturally) xx

Ah! I see! Well you look great on it OP!

My mum spends a fortune trying to get her hair that colour. I think she'd actually swap one of her boring brown-haired kids for you if I showed her this thread. She's been banging on about wishing she'd had a ginger kid for as long as I can remember... first it was her own kids, then it was grandchildren... and we still haven't produced her a redhead! Do not change it!!! Your hair is exactly the kind of hair me and my mum would swoon at in the street if you walked past us...
