When I was younger, I went to Salem one year with my parents. We were inside one of the courts where people were put on trial for being witches. Well, out of everyone in the whole place, the speaker chooses me to point out as an example. She said to everyone, about how I would have been burned at the stake just for being a redhead, they wouldÕve thought I was a witch just because of my hair color. That has always stuck with me.

~LOVE IT! I don't think I would want to dye it because it's such a characteristic of me. It's one of the first things that people notice about me. My hair is really long- almost down to my waist so it's an attention grabber for people. I love when people take the time to notice my hair and tell me it's pretty. That's a big thing for me. I think it makes me more mysterious too because being a redhead is so rare today. I've definitely changed my thoughts on my hair color since I was little.

I am the only redhead in my entire family. Before I was born my mother yearned for a redhead girl as did my father. Low and behold they got what they had wished for. I hated my hair like no other, all throughout my childhood. Being different seemed like the most horrid curse of all. I am also 6'1" so there is much to have me stand out.

I loathed my hair colour and cut it all off, dyed it hot pink, brown, blonde, purple. Just anything to get away from it.

As a child, no one really made fun of me fiercely. But I do suppose I was called "Carrot Top," and "Pipi Long Stockings," in 4th grade. My middle school and high school basketball coach always lovingly called me "Big Red."

Many people loved and said they wished they had been graced with my colour of hair. Still do.

About 3 years ago I started to love my hair with a passion. I cut out the fake colour and grew it all out down my back. I had finally realized it was what God gave me for a reason, to set me apart from the rest.

Well, my husband saw me in a club in Florida (before we met)-he walked up to me as I leaned against a pillar and said "Can I help you hold this pole up?" I thought it was cute, so I married him! If people are offended by being defined by their hair, imagine how blondes must feel, and get over it!

color.I actually became a red head by accident- my friend and I switched hair dyes one night, I went red- and she went blonde..The red color suites me, as everyone I know has told me. Differences for my friends to see me as a red-head wasn't really noticed, because they loved the color on me, and was shocked more so last summer when I went completly bleach-blonde. Red apparantly suits me, because of my demeanor, and the way I approach people. I just wish I was born a natural red head, because I love the color so much more than I do my natural (dark brown) color.
