Why don't ginger people just dye their hair a normal colour?

Surely they should stop inflicting pain on the rest of us and go brunette or something?

(Don't take it too seriously; I'm in a mischievous mood!)

Doublebluff - I know. I thought long and hard and decided I'd better add my little 'explanation' in case somebody combusted!

natural auburn thank you very much

When gingers dye their hair, it is obvious from the skin tone/freckles/roots that they are ginger.

So they become what is known in our house as Stealth Gingers.

Because the stress of the DCs is sending my hair rapidly white so if I wait long enough I will have changed hair colour without forking out for hair dye.

Dragonbutter · 01/08/2008 15:47

some of my best friends are ginger

StealthPolarBear · 01/08/2008 15:48

lol at Stealth Gingers, very appropriate

Send them all to the guillotine.

I would love to be ginger.
dh is blond with a ginger beard (or he would be if I let him have a beard), so I live in hope for dcs. One blond and one brown so far.

MrsThierryHenry · 01/08/2008 15:56

blond with ginger beard???!!

What should we do if he grows one? Cut off his chin?

One of my Sils is a stealth ginger but tells everyone that she's a natural blonde.

Trouble is , I remember her when she was natural ginger

QuintessentialShadows · 01/08/2008 16:00

Right, your previous rather controversial thread about blacks and hairstraightening has obviously given you some ideas.

There is a difference between mischevious and erm..... I am not going to say it.

MrsThierryHenry · 01/08/2008 16:01

Oh, Quinty! Quinty!! It's a Friday afternoon! Just have some ice-cream or something.
