look at all those tv and movie stars with red hair...they passed thru the stereotype, yes?
hey, your young and if you feel you don't like your hair right now it is acceptable to strip the color, isn't that what everyone is doing?
putting all these mod colors on their hair, or bleaching it blonde for texture and it's really easy.
there is no shame or harm in changing ones hair color - even if it's to prove the point you didn't need to, or for a fashion forward look.
if you really wanna look great, go to a good salon, see the colorist there, and ask for her ideas for your crowning glory, and if you like what she suggests or a color you see on swatches or in the pictures at the salon, (maybe a foil job - that is where the bleach is involved in highlighting the hair lightest blonde while your hair color is contrasted... she can monitor the outcome and really get you where you want to go in the area of changing color.
good luck in what you choose to do.
If you go for a color change, have a blast being a blond surfer looking dude or whatever you choose. these things are about as ok today to do as what type shoes you wesr or color of car you drive. no big thing.
peace and new adventures,
night
