Have you ever taken a Rorschach test? The doctor shows you "inkblots" and you blurt out what comes to mind. The inkblots measure perception of abstract shapes, tapping into the corners of the mind.
Hopefully, guys don't judge a woman by her hair color, but they have perceptions based on culture, media, and personal taste, similar to unconscious interpretation of inkblots.
What's my "inkblot-style" reaction to redheads? See below:
"The redheaded stepchild" is the outcast. There are fewer redheads, so maybe that's why I haven't dated one. Despite their distinct appearance, they aren't discussed in male circles as much as blondes and brunettes. I've heard guys say red hair is a deal breaker.
The classic redhead women are strikingly beautiful: Rita Hayworth, Katharine Hepburn. For me, the redhead personality consists of polar opposites: She's either the beer-swilling barmaid, giving every guy a run for his money...or the classic confident beauty, understated and graceful, possessing all the answers before everyone else.
Redheads are "fiery lasses." Redheads are bubbly blondes with a "I'll kick your butt if you step out of line" brunette streak. Like brunettes, redheads can be intimidating, but in a different way — more like a brazen confidence.
The eyes may actually have it. Eye color sometimes mixes with hair color amazingly: blue eyes with dark hair, brown eyes with blonde, and green with, well, any hair color. It's funny how culture and media influence perception of hair color, but my personal opinion is: It doesn't matter what color your hair is; if you're hot, you're hot.
And personality could trump everything. That Marilyn Monroe movie was called "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," but a more accurate title might be: "Gentlemen Prefer a Girl Who Lets Them Reign Over the TV Remote," or "Gentlemen Prefer a Girl Who Lets Them Hang Out with the Guys Whenever He Wants."
Do women have stereotypes about guys' hair color, or are you just happy when he has hair? What are your thoughts on my stereotypes, and what stereotypes do you have for blonde, brunette, and redheaded women? Any guy hair color that would make you not want to date him?

Is Red Right for You?
If at least two of the following apply to you, it may be right to go ruby:
Your skin is on the pink side.
There is a "right" red out there for most women, says Jennifer J, a Matrix celeb colorist and owner of Juan Juan Salons in Southern California (she colors Julia Roberts's auburn mane), but women with cool or pinkish skin pull it off best. Conversely, women with golden or olive skin have a tougher time finding one that's flattering.
You're no wallflower.
Red is a head-turning hue, and you have to be self-assured enough to accept the stares, says Tasha Forgash, color specialist at Shag Salon in Boston. Colorist Sarah Gold, the guru behind Lindsay Lohan's formerly flame-colored hair, concurs: "Remember, red hair is like a sequined dress — it walks into the room before you do."
Your hair is in fairly good condition.
If your strands are very dry or damaged, they will have a hard time holding on to small, red color molecules (which seep out of even the healthiest hair fairly quickly). Your mane has a better chance of becoming radiant red if it is well cared-for (read: you deep-condition weekly, get regular trims and don't heat-style every day).
How to be the best redhead:
1. Wash your hair as infrequently as possible.
Ideally this would mean twice a week, says Parvine Klein, a colorist at the John Barrett Salon in New York City, but every other day will suffice if your hair is oily or very fine, says Jennifer J. On alternate days, you can rinse your hair with tepid (never hot) water if necessary — or dust your roots with a dry shampoo.
2. Avoid harsh shampoos.
Most dandruff treatments are tough on colored hair, says Jennifer J. But they are death to redheads, accelerating the fading process by weeks.
3. Ask your colorist for a "to-go" kit.
Jennifer J gives her redheaded clients a small vial of their hair color (at $45 a pop) to apply two weeks after their salon visit. This keeps the color looking bright and fiery all month long.
(Tip: If you can't get a to-go kit, using one of Nice 'n Easy's new Color Boosting Glazes, which will be available in March, can also do the trick.)
4. Cover up.
Red hair color oxidizes faster than any other, says Forgash. So, if you're going to spend a lot of time outdoors, use a styling product that contains UV filters — or throw a hat or scarf over your strands.
5. Don't be tempted by eggplant tones.
Purplish-reds don't look natural and are rarely flattering, says Jennifer J. Choose a color that can be described as "coppery," "auburn," or "strawberry" instead.

What is the Best Red Hair Color for You?
It all depends on your skin tone. As that is the case, the next thing to determine is your own skin tone. Generally speaking, although it is not always so, fair haired people have fairer skin tones. If you burn instead of tan or if you have freckles, and if you skin is pale colored, then you would consider that you have fair coloring. If you are not sure, take a visit to a cosmetic counter and ask the beauticians. Once you know your skin tone, then you are ready to decide on exactly what shade of red you will go.
Fair Skin Tones: The best red hair colors for those with fair skin coloring are strawberry blond and the brown terra-cotta shades. Light copper also usually looks fine too. You would want to avoid include any of the dark red hair color shades and the violet red shades. They would cause you to look pale skinned to the point that you would not look well.
If you are a brunette, yet you still have fair skin coloring, it is best to continue to stick with the lighter shades of red coloring, including the light copper shades.
Medium Skin Tones: Whether your hair is blond or brunette does not matter. If you have medium skin tones then you can be a little bolder in your choice of red hair color. Red brown hair color as well as auburn hair color are great choices--though again, steer clear from the dark red hair color, such as dark shades of auburn, and the bright coppers or bright reds.
Dark Skin Tones: You have a little more variety when it comes to your choice of red hair coloring, including being able to get away with dyeing your hair deep burgundy or even violet red. Auburns and the red brown hair color are generally fine too. The only colors that you would want to avoid are the strawberry blond and the light auburns.
If you are not sure which red hair color would be flattering, you may want to try adding a few streaks of the color of choice to your hair first. If you like the way it comes out, then you can go ahead and dye the rest of your hair that color, with confidence.
Another tip, when trying to decide on which red hair color to choose, is to look through fashion magazines and see what other women have chosen for their red hair colors. Check out their complexion, their makeup and their hair color and decide whether that would be right for you.
Finally, if you really cannot decide what shades of red hair color would best suit, get some advice from a beautician or hairdresser. They should be able to pinpoint fairly accurately what shade would be the best for your coloring.

Keeping Red Hair Red
If you have chemically treated red hair then you know it can be difficult to keep it from fading, and if you have gone from blond to red you know it can seem near impossible to keep the red in you hair. After years of experience going from blond to red, red to blond, and several other metamorphoses I have come to know the secrets of the red locks.
The first thing to know is that red is the largest hair color molecule and therefore it is difficult to get it to stick. However, once you have gotten it to hold it is also the most difficult to get rid of. Because of this, if you are going from blond to red (particularly treated blond) the first thing you want to focus on is keeping the red tone in your hair, you can focus on the specific shade you want later. If you are not blond, getting the shade you want now will most likely be an easier feat.
If you are coloring your own hair you can lock the color in by putting a shower cap over your hair (while the color is on your hair) and applying heat with a blow dryer. Whether you are coloring your own hair or having a professional color it, make sure you wait 24 - 48 hours before washing it. This allows the color to lock and settle into your hair.
In order to keep your hair red make sure you use a color safe shampoo, a great one is Redken’s Color Extend Shampoo. In addition, if you really want to see you color last, wash your hair in cold water - this is the ultimate way to keep your color lasting the longest and the shade brighter longer. Nothing will fade your red hair faster than hot water, so cold, cold, cold! It’s worth it for the results you will see.
The next trick to have in your bag is a color glaze that adds both color and shine to your hair between colorings. The best one for this is John Frieda’s Luminous Color Glaze. It comes in shades for both bright red hair and dark red hair, only takes three minutes, you can do it in the shower, and it leaves your hair really soft.
The last, but one of the most important things is to use a daily color sealer. John Frieda’s Color Envy Daily Color Sealer yields amazing results. It locks your color in daily, protects it from the elements, and adds shine. This product really works to prevent fading on a daily basis.
If after taking these steps you still find your color to be fading, check the styling products you are using. Some styling products will fade you color very quickly. Choose a line that does not fade color or is formulated for chemically treated hair. Aveda’s products are made with color treated hair in mind and will be much gentler on your red locks.
Most of all be patient and follow these steps to build the red shade that you really want. If you are in the sun a lot use a sun screen on your hair to prevent fading. The more you use these tips the more results you will see and the more you will see of the red you really love.

Makeup Tips for Redheads
Whether you are a natural redhead, or you have just dyed your hair a dark red hair color now, there are some makeup basics that you may need to consider. If you have changed your color completely, you may need to invest in buying new makeup that matches the new-look you.
If you are not sure what makeup would best suit, one tip that I have always found helpful is to check out fashion magazines or hair style magazines, to see what other redheads are wearing. I always come away from those magazines full of ideas of what I think would look best on me.
Let’s start at the beginning with foundation. You should set aside any pink or red based foundations for now, as they are only going to clash with your hair. Instead look for a foundation that has a gold or peach base. A yellow based foundation would probably also work. Remember, if you have fair skin buy a light colored foundation, if you have dark skin buy a darker base foundation.
Next, we will discuss the eye section. One point that is often overlooked when dyeing hair is the color of the eyebrows. If you went from brunette to strawberry blond, you may need to dye your eyebrows and lighten them up. As far as what colored eye-shadow to wear, think earth colors-browns, golds, sometimes green can look great and even a deep plum color. You do want to avoid pinks or blues, as they will not look that great.
Buy your lipstick and blush at the same time, so you can get matching colors. Again, the gold or brown shades are good, even the gold-red. What you do want to avoid is anything red or pink. Once you have your lipstick, try to find a blush that is the same tone and color.
If you stick with similar shades and colors, and avoid the reds, pinks and blues for eye-shadow, you should not have any problem coming up with a great new look that matches your red hair color.

Figuring out your skin tone
Whether you want subtle or dramatic results, you firstly need to look at your skin tone to figure out whether you need a cool or warm shade of red. One of the easiest ways to figure this out is to gather up an item of silver and gold jewellery and hold it up next to your skin. If the silver really sings, then you have a cool skin tone. You should stay away from coppery and yellow-based reds but could really pull off some intense shades if you're feeling brave.
