I used to have greyish brown hair like this:

But then I decided to stand out and be different, and I got a red-copper dye, that looks like this:

When the sun is shining, it looks even more coppery.

I have blunt bangs and I switch from straight to wavy/curly hair.


Should I keep the red hair?
-I got tons of compliments
-I would miss not being a redhead
-I like that I stand out


Should I go back to brown?
-It looks more natural
-I wouldn't need to colour my hair, so it would be healthier
-I'm afraid that red is too intimidating and makes me look unnaproachable.

I feel like I need some perspective.

Do you like that colour?
Guys, would you ask out a girl with that hair?
Isn't it too fake?

I like the red hair. I love a girl with red hair. I would probably ask a girl out if she had red hair. What I would see as really fake hair is someone who has like 10 different colors in their hair, unless it looks good on them.

I love the red hair. I dyed mine a red kind of like that, just brighter. You won't really stand out as much now because more people are doing it. Not a lot. But more. If you preferred red on you, I say do it. But with brown, it'd be healthier with your hair and red fades quickly. So then you have to redye it a lot from it fading. I personally think red. :)

I'm not a guy, but I have a thing for red hair, so I see nothing wrong with it.

With that colour red, the last thing I'm thinking about is fake. Well, I don't think that with any colour red.

Do what is most comfortable for you.

It seems that you're more confident with red hair, so therefore I think you should go with the red.

I think red hair is far more interesting and less boring than brown. More people have brown hair than red hair.

I love the red, its really pretty. I recently dyed mine a deep shade of auburn, because I didn't want to go completely red but I wanted to go darker (I naturally have brown hair & I missed having darker hair) and I also wanted a change from the blonde that I had been for years. I really like it. It seems like going auburn/red is the latest thing to do, because a LOT of people are doing it. (I didn't do it for that reason, I'm simply pointing out something I've noticed lately.)
The brown's pretty too, though. If you really aren't sure which one you'd rather get, you could do a compromise and go auburn. Its right between red and brown so you get a little of both. (:
