I have had red hair for about three years now, and I truly love it, but with having such a bright feature comes to some pretty interesting remarks. I’m sure anyone who has or has had colored hair has gotten a few of these and understands having to awkwardly laugh them off.

1. “Do you know your hair is red?”

What?! My hair is red? I had absolutely no idea.

2. “Is that natural?”

Why yes, yes it is.

3. “You must really want attention”

Yeah not from you, sorry.

4. “Why would you do that to yourself?”

It’s a never-ending rebellion stage.

5. "I think natural would look better on you."

I think you need a face lift, but I wasn't going to tell you that.

6. “Did you fall into a bucket of paint before you got here?”

This one is clever as hell, A for effort.

7. “Couldn’t miss you in a crowd full of people.”

This is true, and is a very useful tactic.

8. “Should I do my hair like that?”

I’m going to tell you yes and that it will look great, but it won’t.

9. “You’re so brave!”

Yeah, I’m a true Moses.

10. “It’s cute cause you’re pretty.”

a backhanded compliment at its finest.

11. “Did you do that for *insert closest holiday* ?”

Yes, obviously I colored my hair to show my enthusiasm for flag day.

12. *To my mother* “How can you let her do that?”

Harsh, but after looking at your hair I’m over it.
