On Friday morning, I woke up in a good mood. Max had slept through the night, the sun had come out after two solid weeks of rain, and we were going out that night to celebrate a good friend's birthday, so I was looking forward to that. Then I opened up ...
For the past couple of years, I've been regularly singing the praises of Superdrug's Colour Effects wash-in conditioning colour. This product costs all of £1.99 (And it's normally on special offer, too, so you'll get it for even less than that), and the 'Warm Copper Gold' shade was exactly the right shade ...
Redheads don't get a whole lot of choice when it comes to hair products - cheap or otherwise. Go into the hair aisle of any supermarket or drugstore, and you'll find no end of products for blondes and brunettes... and maybe one or two for readheads, if you're REALLY lucky. Even ...
Hands up if any of these sound like you: * You always go straight for the palest foundation on the shelf - and it's normally STILL too dark. * Your eyelashes are so pale, you look like you don't have any. * You have so many freckles they can almost pass as a ...
When you have red hair, you get used to people making a Big Deal about it - for both positive and negative reasons. My hair colour is often the first thing people mention when they meet me (of course, it doesn't help that my name is 'Amber': if I had a ...
I'm constantly on the lookout for shampoo and conditioner designed specifically for red hair, so when I spotted this little product in the TK Maxx beauty section a few weeks ago, I knew I couldn't possibly leave without it. (Aside: is anyone else obsessed with the TK Maxx beauty section? Sometimes ...
I kinda hesitated to post these photos, because I've learned the hard way that any post about my hair tends to open the doors to a flood of unsolicited advice about said hair, which I am apparently NOT TO BE TRUSTED with myself, so let me just say straight-up that ...
When it comes to products designed specifically for redheads, I tend to find that the US is a little better served than the UK is. All too often, I find myself getting excited about some fabulous-sounding product I've discovered... only to find that it can't be shipped to me. (I ...
Lately I've been getting a lot of questions about my hair colour: specifically, is it real, and if not, what the hell is it? (My favourite of these questions so far: "Is that REAL hair on her head?" uttered last week, by an elderly acquaintance who has a habit of speaking about ...
I try my best not to read the Daily Mail - or the Daily Fail, as I like to think of it. Inevitably, any time I follow a link there by mistake, I end up on the site for an hour, clicking from one hideous story to the next and ...
Despite having been born with red hair, I've actually been pretty lucky in that I've never been physically attacked because of my universally reviled appearance. And come to think of it, although my mum got a lot of "don't worry, she might grow out of it!" comments when I was ...
As some of you may know, I'm a natural redhead. I've never been remotely tempted to dye my hair (well, there was that one time when I was 16, but we don't talk about that...), and fully intend to be a redhead until the day I die. So, what am I ...
Q: Why do redheads take the pill? A: Wishful thinking. Q: What do you call a good looking man with a redhead? A: A hostage. Q: What do you call a redhead with large breasts? A: A mutant. Stop me if you've heard any of these before, by the way. I discovered them all by chance, ...
