Is my natural hair color weird?

[chococrazy]

Ok I'm 13, and through my life my hair has always drawn the question. Is it dyed? I have never dyed my hair in my life, but it looks like it because my eyebrows are black. My hair color is a reddish brown, but it changes with sunlight. If it's a hot and really sunny day, my hair will turn a bright orange/ red, but when it's cold or in the winter my hair will get darker, but stays a reddish hue. My sides of my head (inbetween the full top and full side like a line) get red the most.
My eyebrows are a full black, which is weird. I'm the only one in my family with this hair, not even my grandparents had it, and my parents say I'm the only one in the family they've seen with it.

Welcome... to... B&B?

Well, here is a wild guess, and I'm not an expert. The Vikings invaded Scotland and Ireland in the past and mixed with the people.

Also, there is a theory that people from Spain migrated up to Ireland by ship. If you look at a map, you'll see how that is possible.

So there you have in Ireland the possibility of red hair and black hair coming together somewhere in your past. I'm talking WAY long time ago. As I say, this is just a guess.

Of course, the Vikings really got around so this is just one possibility.

Probably no "weirder" than blonds with black eyebrows or brown haired w/ red beard.

Welcome to b&b, tho.

Thanks for the welcome guys, and for those wondering my ethnicity is half Ecuadorian, and the other half is Middle Eastern.

Welcome to B&B, we are glad you found us.

Are you interested in the emerging wetshaving front?

When I can shave I hope to be a wet shaver, as I'm an avid knife collector & sharpner. I've always been fascinated with straight razors, and stropping techniques used. I stropping block, all be it not hanging would probably be adequate as a shaving strop. When I told my dad about straight razors quote- "So you're telling me to put a knife to my face", and my response was would you rather have have 1 blade on your face or 4 from those gilletes.

Seriously though. Welcome. I'm sorta the opposite of you. I have almost jet black hair and a very coppery beard (when I grow it out, which isn't often... this is a wetshaving forum, you know). My ancestry is Irish, German, and native American as far as I know.

Here is a Wiki on red hair, and it's probably more than you'll ever want to know about red hair. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_hair

It mentions that some people in the Middle East have red hair. Anyway, good luck with your quest, one day you will find an answer.

Here's a picture of it. It didn't capture it to well as I did it in the dark, but after a day in the sun it's much brighter in color




See how on the mid right it kinda turns a red/maroon.
Click it for a bigger one, much bigger one.
I took it with my cellphone so quality won't be great.

Same here except for my ethnicity. I have reddish hairs in my beard. Of course my hair has turned from black to salt and pepper.

Interesting... but don't worry about it and don't change anything. Everyone is born with the right color of hair for them. Stay natural. Also, at 13, you might still go to another color.

Me? I'm working on my third hair color. From birth until 10 or 11, I was a tow-head. Then it gradually turned a very dark brown. I found my first gray hair at 22. Now at almost 38, I'm running about 50/50. It'll be entirely gray in a few more years.

I've never colored it - I'm going to leave it natural. I keep it high and tight, so it almost looks blonde again right now.

Welcome to B&B....stay away from all types of bleaching.

 

[whybenormal]

Weird? I guess, sure. But if I've learned anything at all, it's that life is always more fun when you're not like everybody else.

Also, playing with your hair color (and the reactions from people) is quite fun. I've been neon blue, violet, and green. Like, Captain Planet green. hahaha.

 

[Monkeydad]

You have a decision to make.


Shave your head

or

Shave your eyebrows






Oh, and welcome.

 

[eyeguy]

You're definitely not the only one! Myself, I have brown on top, a 50/50 red & brown beard (when I grow it), & nearly blonde eyebrows. I'd kill to have the blonde hair I had when I was 5!!

 

[SpyvSpy]

I have brown hair but my sideburns if I grow the out are a dark red.

I found a white hair in my normally-dark brown goatee last week.

I blamed my wife.
