I'll go first. I'm a natural redhead. I hated it as a child because I was teased alot. But when I got older and found out the boys liked it I got a whole lot more fond of it! LOL

I'm very sensitve about my hair right now. But it is a golden light brown, naturally, and pretty close even out of a bottle.

I have no real idea in the world what my natural hair color is!! I had very blonde (almost white) hair as a child and it darkened as I got older. By the time I was a sophomore in high school, I was highlighting it regularly and my natural color hasn't seen the light of day much since! My hair has been many different shades of blondes over the years, from almost white to very dark blonde/light brown. It has also been green twice and orange once! Right now it is dark strawberry blonde. If I had to guess at my natural color, I think it would come out as a rather dull shade of brown, but with natural reddish-blonde highlights after sun exposure and as it lengthened.

I very much have the facial complexion (very light) and eyes (hazel green-blue depending on what I am wearing) of a "typical blonde" and when my hair is darker, I always get told, "Oh, I like your hair better when it is blonder!"

I'm a natural brunette. I'm 42 and 75% gray so now it's from a bottle!

Hermione69 I think we have the same hair LOL

When I was born I had thick black hair, but then became a really really light blond when I was a kid. Probably around my teens the blond started getting darker- it would be light in the summer and dark in the winter. Now it's a dark blonde color, but if you look at the strands really closely it's a big mix of colors- some strands are black, come are light, light blond, some darker blond. There's also that reddish hint of color that I see but I don't know how obvious it is. Oh- and I have the blue eyes and light skin too (which is peeling off like crazy right now, in recovery from a rather stupid day with no sunblock on).

I used to dye it when it was too dark for me, but I gave up on that a few years ago. Oh, then there were those phases when I was about 16- I dyed it brown but decided I didn't like that so I dyed it black the next day. My mom hated it. She hated it more later when I dyed it burgundy-plum. That was semi-permanant but it turned out it was semi-permanant until it faded to a weird color (as if burgundy plum isn't kinda weird) then it became permanant. It was a really really pretty color- just not really for hair now that I think about it :)

I've always been blond. It's gotten darker, but I think it still qualifies as dark blond rather than light brown. I've never dyed it, other than a little lemon juice in my teen Florida summers. Mine is similar to yours Kaili. I have really light strands and yesterday a very dark brown one came out! No gray though, the women in my family don't ever go gray. It fades, it thins, but no gray. Personally, I wish we could have a tradition of no wrinkles. You can dye the gray, but the wrinkles are worse!

And you are cute, Fluff!

Kaili, it does sound like we have similar hair stories! I need to try that plum-burgandy. Purple is the only secondary color I have not covered!!

I do have some gray strands in mine, but not as much as my sister who has kids!!!

Well that all depends on what day of the week it is...I'm usually my hairdressers "project" of the month when I go there. I'm naturally dark brown but am 75% gray. So this week I'm dark brown, next week perhaps brown with red highlights...depends on the mood!!

I am naturally multicolored...mostly blond in the front and darker underneath and in the back. This is normal for Scandinavians and other blonds. I have "tow head blond" golden blond, red, light brown, dark brown and darn near black hair...BUT no grey!

Natually dirty blonde with natural light blond highlights. In the summer I add in some Sun-In to enhance the blond. Sun-In really helps make everything look even without making it look dyed.

Natural dark brown with minimal gray. My hairdresser says I'll never go completely gray. Shucks, I was wanting to go gray-white so I could try dying my hair blonde, so I could finally see for myself it 'they' really do have more fun.

Natural red.

Started out with Ronald McDonald orange (have pics to prove this, lol) and went to red before I was walking. Like Twinkie, I hated it as a kid, but now I love it. I'm easy to pick out of a crowd, people always remember me because of it, and hubby loves it.

Ok, natural hair was (many moons ago) yucky brown, now if allowed to grow out it would be yucky brown with lots of gray.

But --- I am a redhead - I have hot red hair, and it matches my coloring (I should have been born with red hair)I have freckles, it matches my personality - so I am totally red.

Brunette--also natural.

I would like to be able to say I have never dyed my hair, but I went through this "goth" phase in my 20's and had it dyed blue-black.

At 33, the grey is slowly starting to creep in and I will be dying soon (I'm guessing). I'm treasuring my natural hair color until then.

I was a blonde as a child. I have brown hair sprinkled with other colors such as gray.

Medium brown with lots of silver at the temples. I dye it a richer shade of brown to cover the silver. (I hate calling it gray!)

Virgin Brunette...would you believe if I told you that BOTH OF MY DAUGHTERS ARE MASTER COLORISTS/ COSMETOLOGISTS: one in Cleveland, one in Tampa, and their mom walks around still a victim of the late 70's....long, naturally wavy, untouched by hair products, BRUNETTE....

P. S. I carry tweezers and SHOULD I SEE a gray hair I will stop at nothing to pull it out, oh, ever so carefully....:-)

Are your daughters members of this board? Tell them stop by the hair thread over in the CC.

Child blonde

Teenage dirty blond/mousy brown

Adult blonde hi-lites (lots and lots and lots of 'em)

Dh once wistfully said he'd probably never see my "real" color and I told him that was about as certain as death and taxes.

Thank you Fluff, bigger chance of getting my Reality TV -loving 24 yr. old over there than the

Appreciate the tip Fluffy...:-)
