To "Dye" For...

5/5/2011

I recently read an article about how the color of your hair has an huge effect on your dating/love life.
To sum it up, it basically was saying that men were threatened by red heads... saying they were too alternative to settle down with, blondes were fake and easy and gave off a more wild vibe and brunettes (although a dime a dozen) were the ones they would eventually settle down with. I can't help but wonder if this is somehow true.
As a blonde, I notice that I do get a lot of attention (I'm also 5'10" so that doesn't hurt my cause) and it doesn't seem to be negative. Do men subconsciously think that I'm wild, easy and fake just because I'm a blonde?
I've changed my hair color many times but have always gone back to the hair color that I feel suites me most... blonde. However, I wouldn't mind playing with it to see if perhaps I could find a color that really suites both my skin tone AND personality.
Last time I dyed my hair red I seemed to get a lot of compliments from friends. I agree that the darker, warmer hughes went very harmoniously with my facial features and eyes. And yet, I STILL went back to blonde.
I feel like I need to go to one of those celebrity hair stylists who help people find the right color.
Should I go back to Red? Should I try a darker, warmer brunette color? Perhaps if I do I'll be walking down the aisle sooner than later?
Do men really settle down with and marry Brunettes more often because they seem more grounded as opposed to wild and alternative?
I would like to know....

The article is crap. lol Im a natural brunette but lord knows my hair hasnt been my natural color in YEARS. I was a redhead when Josh met me and since hes known me ive been pink, green, blue, purple, Hot red, black, and even blonde. He asked me to marry him when I was a blonde. He married me when I was a redhead and im pretty certain he would continue to love me if and when all my hair falls out from all this dyeing (although right now hes trying to convince me to go back to neon red lol).
I think blondes always turn heads cause their hair catches the light but in the end its really about how you carry yourself. Being confident helps, but remember timing is everything. You can find the perfect man at the exact wrong time. Hair color has nothing to do with it lol

I'm blonde. I'm happily married AND I have more fun. Follow your heart. Be the person you are, and the man who loves you for who you are will love you for it.

I am an advocate for being comfortable and true to your own preferences. True beauty comes from within..the eyes are the windows to the soul..life is short and outer beauty is fleeting..please yourself..you need to be your own best friend for life!
