Red: A History of the Redhead

I truly enjoyed this book! I am a redhead and mine is nearly the same as the above photo. I was teased by my classmates from First grade thru Senior in High School. So my feelings were hurt early on. When I graduated from high school, I started to color my hair Blonde. The treatment I was given then was the reverse with my red hair. It seemed that people found me likeable. I guess it is true that when you get past the age of 55, you see things more realistic. And, from the day of my 55th birthday, I let my hair go back to its natural color. I thought it would turn gray but nope it remains my natural color. I have embraced my hair color and I am getting ready to turn 73 next month. Oh what fun it is to celebrate another birthday with red birthday candles to extinguish!
