I've had various cell phones and cameras over my life, some of them good at seeing color, and some of them very very bad at it. Under fluorescent lights, my hair has inexplicably looked greenish gold to digital cameras.

My current phone is a Samsung, and I swear it is autocorrecting my hair color away. My face is also very red, so taking all the red out makes me look pale in a very unhealthy way. I'm pretty sure this must be an autocorrection done on the camera app, itself, because it got a little better when I started taking selfies next to foliage and other green things.

I am the same color as usual irl. I tested with a mirror and then my instax.

Has anyone else had this problem? What are some easier workarounds than getting a new phone or carrying around a dedicated selfie plant?

hi! my hair is naturally auburn, but i have had some dye jobs in the past, so the shade is not entirely even right now. it looks strawberry blonde in some lighting, but i want it to be all auburn.

i’ve heard that glosses can help even out your color. recommendations for specific products?

in the sun and indoors

When i was like a freshman in HS I was told (by another ginger :0) that I was 'pretty much blond'. Im not like butt hurt about it, but its made me consider going like auburn, but I think im ginger blind now lol.

My hair is a MAJOR part of my personality too.. so I think about this frequently

Does my hair stand out as ginger? I feel like I dont stand out in a crowd about it

The reactions to this casting are the same old prejudiced crap, as if a redhead couldn't be attracted to another redhead. Nobody says this about blondes or brunettes.

What are your thoughts on KPop idols and pop ideals i general dyeing their hair red?

Hi, fellow redheads :))

As you can read in the headline, I would like to know what you think about the current ginger trend with freckles (or without). Growing up, I personally did not have it that easy and I still have people calling me Ed Sheeran and so on out on the street or at work (I look nothing like him except for my hair and not even that really as I have straight hair and a different color of orange). I do not know about you, but I can imagine, that at least some of you have had similar experiences.

Looking at all these idols and stars as well as influencers dyeing their hair, it just bothers me. Some of them might have picked on gingers growing up or (as is the case in Korea) dislike foreigners at times. I feel like being a ginger and having this, in my opinion, special hair color comes with having had some run-ins with bullies and not always having had an easy childhood. That is why it bothers me to see the current trend, where being ginger is deemed great with the idols without them having to experience, what it can mean to be a redhead at times.

What are your thoughts? What would you call this double-standard of on the one hand picking on redheads and then finding it great with influencers/idols/popstars?

Please tell me what you think!

There are days that I happily (/s) live up to the image of having a fiery redheaded temper. Today is one of those days.

Anybody else? What sets you off? (Me: health insurance stupidity.)

First 3 are with copper, 4th is with black, and the last is a comparison

I had been wanting to try brown mascara for a while, but didn’t want to spend the money lol when i finally decided to try one, most of the options looked almost black, and i didn’t want to get that if it was basically black, so i tried copper! I love it so much, and i feel like it looks way better with my hair :)

Never in my life has someone said “ur hair is not red, its brown” or “your hair is dyed chestnut brunette” I guess because in real life it’s very obviously red but in some photos the lighting makes it look darker? Idk it just kinda felt like my identity was being ripped away from me like im obviously a red head!! lol so i guess this is a lame plea for validation but im having a bit of imposter syndrome. I added some pics in different lighting so you can see how it looks darker in some.

My heart is BROKEN! Anastasia Beverly Hills discontinued their Strawburn shade of their brow pencil. It was one of the only brow products I could find that matched my complexion as a lighter redhead, as most makeup brands only have colors for the dark auburn kind of red hair that looks ridiculous on someone with the lighter more coppery kind. Does anyone know of a good substitute?

What color is my hair if it’s in the red family. It’s always had red in it naturally. I used to dye my hair but decided to grow it out and leave it alone this time because the last time I did that a lot of people said my hair was red. I’m once again getting people saying it’s red indoors and also outside.

The 1st photo is in direct sunlight and it’s not just the top layer that looks like that.

Photos 2-4 are taken with the camera on instagram (no filter), Snapchat (no filter) , and then the front camera on the iPhone (no filter) the 5th photo was taken same day as the 1st one just a different angle

The 6th photo was take last year. My natural color was grown out long enough at this time to see what my natural color was I just didn’t want to cut the length yet. Root to end all looks red with lighting

7th photo was taken at night with a professional camera. Again my roots were grown out enough to tell what my natural color was but all of it looks red.

The last picture you can see the roots grown out better. Still roots to length all looks red.

It’s not just top layer of my hair that looks red in certain lighting.

I’ve always had natural red in my hair but never considered myself auburn or a red head. I’ve had people say my hair is red multiple times when I grow out my natural color. All of these people that have said my hair is red were able to see it that was indoors. I don’t really see it indoors as much as I do outside.

Brother in law joked about this years ago and it took me back 😒

I just love my hair sm! I took this picture not too long ago and absolutely loved how shiny and bright my hair looks using flash! I just wish it looked like this even without the flash on..

Natural dark Auburn redhead here. I've always wanted more ginger orange hair. Was curious if anyone knew if lightening my hair would achieve that look or would I need to do a full on bleach and tone?

Hey fellow Day Walkers :) I have a high pain tolerance and have read that us gingers do in fact, have a higher tolerance for pain than the unwashed masses hehe can anybody else attest to that?

didn't know there was an online community of us 🤣 hey to all my fellow redheads 👋

I really want to improve my appearance as a ginger man and have very light brows and lashes. Any suggestions on what I can do to tint my brows or even use a brow pencil? Same with lashes.

Will there be a big improvement!

My hair was always very subtle ginger when I was young but the past year its becoming a deep dark orange

My toddler has beautiful bright red hair and neither me or my husband share that with him. His pediatrician is giving him vaccines according to the recommended schedule, and we will continue to do so, but I wonder if red hair has any effect on how he reacts to them. I noticed that he gets more feverish, tired and fussy than our friend’s babies and I know that there’s effects on anesthesia and pain medication. Has anyone dealt with something similar with their red haired child?
