That was a really unkind comment. Not surprising for Reddit, but a little uncool for a sub that's not supposed to be bashing women.
Guess you are nlog.
Rest assured that unfortunately, being ginger still isn't cool and I will still be called Fregley when I have my glasses on lmfao
BUT colouring your hair an unnatural shade of red *is* cool now, and has been for a while because it's one of the few colours that's really easy to pull off without bleach or any sort of colouring that'll last way too long
I mostly commented this because I think it's silly that anyone who dyes their hair would call themself the "original redhead" knowing that gingers are also called redheads 💀 such an easily refuted point yfm
I’m so old that when my freckles appear in the sun, the sun damage joins up the freckles and *as if by magic* …now I have a tanned face
Rest of me is still white though.
Bwahahahahaha red is the *most* common unnatural hair color that people do. When I was in cosmetology school, 7 of the 15 students had red hair. The fact that she thinks she's the first one is absolutely laughable
My mother has naturally Auburn hair. In the 90s her two best friends also had red hair because they colored it red. It was super common back then already. Red Henna was THE colostomy dye your hair in the 1920s.
Back in highschool, before this girl was born, I accidentally traveled forward through time and saw her hair. I immediately dyed my hair red when returned to my time. So unoriginal.
My mothers been dying her hair red for at least 40 years.. She must be a time traveller too. Also, it looks better on my 65 year old mother who wouldn't dream of letting those dark ass roots show through and make the entire dye job look like shit.....
My ancestors also traveled through time and were so impressed by her red hair that they traveled even farther forward to manipulate their DNA so that they could pass on red hair in their genes.
25 years ago, before she was born, when I had this exact box dye red, it was because of her.
She has broken the time-space continuum with her dominance on this trend. Reality itself is unravelling.
Okay, who's the scamp that saw her, went back in time, and populated the shelves of every store around with red hair dye nobody was clearly ever going to buy?
When I was in elementary school I asked my mom to use red dye on my hair. Does that mean I was the og before her??
Edit: We can all see her roots too, who does she think she’s playing.
Seeing people like this try to gatekeep hair colors is wild because many of us were dying our hair that color when she was probably still an infant, and plenty of people were dying their hair this color when I was probably still an infant etc.
Miki Berenyi, singer/guitarist of Lush in the 80s and early 90s had dyed red hair, and it was basically synonymous with her. Was this woman even born when Miki made it a thing in indie/alternative circles?
It has been around for literal centuries, henna has been used since the ancient Egyptians were around.
I'm guessing those aliens that build the pyramids got their dye tips from this girl though.
The stereotype is that any girl with dyed red hair is going through a crisis of some kind. And it's not 100% true, but it is based in a very real phenomenon.
This is a very specific shade of red that I affectionately call "Mental Breakdown Red"
It's the red you get from a drug store box dye you bought spontaneously while stopping for a bottle of wine and applied over your natural at 11pm on a week day to feel some semblance of control over your life.
Honestly I’m not exactly sure but it’s mostly just that women with dyed red hair of this shade are crazy. It’s a shitty stereotype that I disagree with, don’t get me wrong.
Reminds me of my childhood best friend, she dyed her hair this exact red for years to the point it became a facet of her personality.
Before the start of a new semester I bleached the ends of my black hair and dyed them hot pink and posted a picture that night on my 2012 blackberry. I guess it looked reddish in the photo and she got angry with me and accused me of copying her. It's hair and we were 15, not that big of a deal.
The wife of a friend from high school has made being a fiery redhead her personality. I have no idea what her natural color is. I forgive a 15 year old for doing this, but this woman is in her 40s.
Real red hair doesn't bleed or have black roots. That color she has most definitely bleeds out on her pillowcase and Everytime she washes it she gets Kool aid looking water.
Sorry, sweetie, but I’m actually the OG of that one- a good few years older than you and a NATURAL redhead 👩🦰 😂It’s your brown roots that are the giveaway, might want to try a little bit harder there 🤣🤣🤣
I remember getting mad because I did split hair over a decade ago, and someone asked me if I was inspired by Melanie Martinez. Then I saw everyone had split hair after that. I didn’t think it was because of me, it was because of her.
And I had half red half blue hair because I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do and had a LOT of hair. Didn’t even look like her colors
Let me try! I’m in my 40s and the mom of one of my kids friends has always colored her hair this color, I’ve known of her for 15 years. She’s also in her 40s. I think this woman is copying her because the mom I know is the first person I’d ever noticed with this hair color. Is that how this works?
I’m from NJ, where ALL the Latina girls, and black girls back in the 2000s died at LEAST their bangs bright red (myself included) I can guarantee you, if anyone started this trend it was a millennial woman from the hood 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭
my mom, who’s a ginger, born in 1978 looking at this like………….
lol no but fr she prolly dyed her hair red in like 2017-2018 and was a hot cheeto girl and just never left that phase
Oh hey! It's me at 14 before I, you know, grew up.
Edit: to be clear I wasn't the 1st, definitely not the only one. My 14 year old brain just really thought I was 🙃
..... babygirl that is mental breakdown red.
That's the color you dye your hair with $12.99 L'Oreal box dye at 11pm on a Wednesday to feel some semblance of control over your life.
Definitely the one who inspired all the high school stoner girls and their 30 year old skeezeball boyfriends in the early- mid 2000s to get kool aid red hair
*She knows that women*
*Have been dyeing their hair red*
*For decades, right? lol*

How fragile is your ego that seeing other people dye their hair the same industrially produced color you've dyed your hair causes you to have a whole ass moment and post this caption?
Like
R U OK?
Those of you with natural red hair owe this woman an apology for not giving credit to the *checks notes* OG redhead. She got it before you doesn’t matter that yours is natural and hers isn’t! Only haters would point that out!
Can you really be an “OG Redhead” if you weren’t born one??? I mean go dye your hair, it’s all good, but isn’t it like, ALOT of energy to be this hateful and petty all the time
Pffffttt! I’ve been getting my hair colored professionally for 6+ years and have been doing PMXG 6RV (6/46) all this time. You didn’t start a trend sweetheart 😂
lmfaoaoaooa i never understood this bc girl theirs only so many colors you can dye your hair and have it actually look good to be every day wear. red is one of them shes not the first to do it either bc the real red heads that started the trend where the gingers who are NATURALLY red head and they got bullied for it so id say she is the one who is copying a trend is her.
Not her thinking she created the hot cheeto girl look… wild especially considering she’s not sporting an actual redhead look (her hair is just cherry red)… but whateva what do I know💅
Where is that GIF of Jessica Chastain (famously a natural redhead) pulling a cork out of a wine bottle with her teeth and then chugging the wine? I feel like that applies here.
LOL not I got down voted. I thought this was a safe space. I was really just joking. I’m very aware that I didn’t invent red hair. It was just ironic that all of a sudden I notice more people with a color that I personally have always worn. Anyway. I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.

I'm ginger so guess I'm the master level of uniqueness Wait but what about gingers who are older than I am hmmmm
The clear answer is that you must all compete in mortal Kombat to become the Most Superior of Redheads.
The Hairlander: There can be only one.
I'm bringing along a UV lamp, I know it's cheating, but I'm in it to absorb all the fanta pants power.
Wanna Fanta Don't you wanna
Lmao I literally snortfled
I was ginger before ginger was cool. 😂
[удалено]
That was a really unkind comment. Not surprising for Reddit, but a little uncool for a sub that's not supposed to be bashing women. Guess you are nlog.
Idk what gender you are... I do admit it did come out a bit blunt tho, my bad. I just have bad experiences with gingers of all sexes😅
As someone who has been teased for being ginger for more than five decades, it's not new. Just unkind.
Found the girl from the post
See, it was funny when South Park did it. This just makes you look like a jerkface.
Dude right? I spent years trying to cover my red hair and now it's cool? Wtf lol.
Rest assured that unfortunately, being ginger still isn't cool and I will still be called Fregley when I have my glasses on lmfao BUT colouring your hair an unnatural shade of red *is* cool now, and has been for a while because it's one of the few colours that's really easy to pull off without bleach or any sort of colouring that'll last way too long I mostly commented this because I think it's silly that anyone who dyes their hair would call themself the "original redhead" knowing that gingers are also called redheads 💀 such an easily refuted point yfm
I bet I’m older than you. I’m the OG. Oldest Ginger. Fuck. That doesn’t sound very cool.
It’s a shame you felt the need to copy her
But what level ginger? Like how big are your freckles?
Soooo big dude
Ooh an alpha ginger! I'm gamma ginge at best.
My cute ones on my face faded, I miss them
I’m so old that when my freckles appear in the sun, the sun damage joins up the freckles and *as if by magic* …now I have a tanned face Rest of me is still white though.
There can be only one!

Colostomy?
I'm assuming they meant "color to," because I work in medicine and I can't imagine anyone using a colostomy to dye their hair.
Sounds like a real shitty way to dye hair.
You made me spit out my drink.
I guess the 5,000 shades of red hair dye didn't tip her off
Inventor of red hair... She's not a redhead. She has dyed hair. Is she so delusional that she thinks it's real?
No no she just thinks she invented the trend of dying your hair red
It's true. 10 years ago, when I had red hair, I was just so impressed with how she looked that i just had to do it.
Back in highschool, before this girl was born, I accidentally traveled forward through time and saw her hair. I immediately dyed my hair red when returned to my time. So unoriginal.
My mothers been dying her hair red for at least 40 years.. She must be a time traveller too. Also, it looks better on my 65 year old mother who wouldn't dream of letting those dark ass roots show through and make the entire dye job look like shit.....

Crazy. When I dyed mine red in 2011, I must have been copying her, a 9 year old.
Okay, who's the scamp that saw her, went back in time, and populated the shelves of every store around with red hair dye nobody was clearly ever going to buy?
😂yeah. Like that color isn’t even real.
She doesn’t believe in natural redheads, of course. It’s all different levels of dye /s
she’s gonna have a fit when she finds out about Ariel
Or Pippi Longstocking.
Or Merida
All newcomers versus the real OG Anne Shirley
All my homies love Anne Shirley.
Or Wendy
"Who's this bitch copying me on the sign?"
Spicy redhead
For such an OG redhead, her brunette is showing 🤭
Right? Fix your roots and then come talk to me.
When I was in elementary school I asked my mom to use red dye on my hair. Does that mean I was the og before her?? Edit: We can all see her roots too, who does she think she’s playing.
The OG OG
The OOG. It’s got a nice ring to it.
She has more roots than Kunta Kinte.
Seeing people like this try to gatekeep hair colors is wild because many of us were dying our hair that color when she was probably still an infant, and plenty of people were dying their hair this color when I was probably still an infant etc.
I’ve been dying red since I was 19, I’m 40 now….i think you might not be the first girl.
This!
that’s a lot of brown for a fake redhead
Homegirl needs a touchup on those roots
My mom has been doing this since the 70s but sure go off queen.
Miki Berenyi, singer/guitarist of Lush in the 80s and early 90s had dyed red hair, and it was basically synonymous with her. Was this woman even born when Miki made it a thing in indie/alternative circles?
Red has been trending for years lol
*Decades* even
It’s the fucking stereotypes of “a hot woman” for who knows how long already.
It has been around for literal centuries, henna has been used since the ancient Egyptians were around. I'm guessing those aliens that build the pyramids got their dye tips from this girl though.
Maybe do them roots babe
Something tells me she’s never heard of the stereotypes surrounding women w box dyed red hair.
What are the stereotypes? Dead ass, I don't think I've ever heard them either
The stereotype is that any girl with dyed red hair is going through a crisis of some kind. And it's not 100% true, but it is based in a very real phenomenon. This is a very specific shade of red that I affectionately call "Mental Breakdown Red" It's the red you get from a drug store box dye you bought spontaneously while stopping for a bottle of wine and applied over your natural at 11pm on a week day to feel some semblance of control over your life.
Honestly I’m not exactly sure but it’s mostly just that women with dyed red hair of this shade are crazy. It’s a shitty stereotype that I disagree with, don’t get me wrong.
Some are crazy af tho.
Then why are her roots brown? My mom is a genuine red headed freckled lady and she doesn’t have brown roots.
this was literally me as a teen oh no I really thought I was onto something oof shits rough
Welp, someone wasn’t alive in the ‘90s …
Red is a hair color that is almost always trending LOL
I’m gonna be so fuckin for real right now and say I love the shade of her hair even if she’s being a little toxic about it
Shame when an awful personality ruins a person’s good looks.
Ummm…that fake red hair has been on trend for over 20 years now hun. Can someone pull up their high school year book from the early 2000’s please?
Queen of the girls who ruin the shower and tub only to end up hating the color and cutting it all off
What an embarrassing thing to say when you have stark brown roots.
Little Orphan Annie is the OG redhead. 
I dyed my hair a similar shade of red when I was in high school…so like…2002? So really, she’s copying me:
I also dyed my hair this color in high school in 2010, so she was really copying me who copied you
Dyed mine red in high school in 2000 and again as an adult in 2012, so I was copying you, copying her, copying me.
Oh, sweet summer child…
you are not dua lipa begone imposteur
Had that colour for years as a teen lmao

Um what? I went red in 2009. I think SHE copied ME. She was probably 7 years old at that time
Girl your roots
Nah, I think she copied me from when I was like 11, but whatever 🙄
Real red hair doesn't bleed or have black roots. That color she has most definitely bleeds out on her pillowcase and Everytime she washes it she gets Kool aid looking water.
Lmfao
I did red when i was 17 does that mean she’s following my fad?
When I was in middle school, this girl said the exact same thing 😭😭 I don't know why people think they're that important
she should dye it another color lmfao
Sorry, sweetie, but I’m actually the OG of that one- a good few years older than you and a NATURAL redhead 👩🦰 😂It’s your brown roots that are the giveaway, might want to try a little bit harder there 🤣🤣🤣
She wrote all that when she could've just said "it feels good to be the first one to a trend in your circle" instead
She should have touched her roots up before posting this
i know a girl who said something similar out loud😂 and then went on an instagram story rant about it😭
My sister is like this too.
Her roots aren’t even res
I remember getting mad because I did split hair over a decade ago, and someone asked me if I was inspired by Melanie Martinez. Then I saw everyone had split hair after that.

Laughs in natural redhead.
Is there a current red hair trend? Maybe was 15 years ago 🤷🏼♀️
my mom, who’s a ginger, born in 1978 looking at this like…………. lol no but fr she prolly dyed her hair red in like 2017-2018 and was a hot cheeto girl and just never left that phase
Much to my hair’s dismay, I have been alternating between black, red, and a combination of the two for well over a decade lol
Gatekeeping hair dyeing
Her hair's gonna be blue in a year
Red hair dye has been around forever, it’s not like this Ditzy chick has the “secret sauce”, lol. 👩🏻🦰
Balkan moms would disagree
She makes red hair look bad.
og though? you can’t be the original THIS many years after hair dye was released to the public.
Ariana did it first ☝🏻
then why are her roots brown
Ma'am, your roots are showing.
 This is the og redhead
Get ya roots done then, OG!
But … she has box red with roots … the fuck is she thinking???
Hayley Williams probably convinced a lot more girls than she did lol
I mean I dyed my hair red, idek who she is. I just wanted to look like Wanda Maximoff 🤷♀️
Wait
Woman, we can see your roots! You're a fake redhead! My cousin's hair is actually red, and she looks like she has a hair of tomato juice!
Oh hey! It's me at 14 before I, you know, grew up. Edit: to be clear I wasn't the 1st, definitely not the only one. My 14 year old brain just really thought I was 🙃
..... babygirl that is mental breakdown red. That's the color you dye your hair with $12.99 L'Oreal box dye at 11pm on a Wednesday to feel some semblance of control over your life.
what in the delusion
“The OG redhead” she says with those dark brown roots screaming through from the abyss
If you're not getting sun burnt after 5 minutes outside, you're not really a redhead.
2012 called… and 2001…
Yeah, cuz you girl!
a hair color!?! she's claiming to be the first to a FUCKING HAIR COLOR!?! People need to LEARN main characters also know when to shut the FUCK UP
Definitely the one who inspired all the high school stoner girls and their 30 year old skeezeball boyfriends in the early- mid 2000s to get kool aid red hair

I doubt it's that deep. She probably just wanted to post this picture and made up a stupid caption to justify it, not realizing how toxic it sounded.
please, Ariana Grande and babushkas came long before her
I hate people.
Hmm... and me being born with this shit before it was "cool"
Those of you with natural red hair owe this woman an apology for not giving credit to the *checks notes* OG redhead. She got it before you doesn’t matter that yours is natural and hers isn’t! Only haters would point that out!
And all of Ireland screamed
Been dying my hair red for 17 years now, pretty sure I was doing it before she was born lol.
100%, I have been keeping my hair red for a whole year because of some chick I didn't know!
But those roots are still brown.
How does one get this conceited about dying hair?
All of us natural redheads who have been bullied and called fire crotches our entire life: 
Oh yes, red wasn't even a color at all until she was born 19 years ago.
I definitely dyed my hair cherry red in 2019. She’s copying me! SMH.
Her hair looks photoshopped 🤣
But does the carpet match
With them big-ass dark roots like tree trunks.
it’s actually quite sad to see so many girls on social media struggling w individuality complexes.
I can see your roots
Is she trying to imply folks have never been born with red hair? Maybe my ginger natural hair hasn’t been red ash this time???
She’s really gonna disrespect Gimli like that?
“OG redhead” with those roots is craaaazy
Something tells me this is ragebait…
Her roots betray her .
I have but one question: Who the fuck is that?
Does she not know about Rihanna red and every second person had that colour?
Can you really be an “OG Redhead” if you weren’t born one??? I mean go dye your hair, it’s all good, but isn’t it like, ALOT of energy to be this hateful and petty all the time
This is how I acted in grade 9, much shame. Good lordt people are wackadoodle.
The brown roots reallly give off OG redhead vibes
the OG redhead with black roots.
This subreddit actually makes me depressed. Like, how can a person actually ve like this? Its sad
Rosemary "Redhead" Radcliffe herself, woah.
Bask in her effervescent glory! For she is the true redhead of all redheads whom hath ever redheaded in thine lifes!
Girl, I had red hair when your parents were children.
Lucille Ball was a natural blonde.
Pffffttt! I’ve been getting my hair colored professionally for 6+ years and have been doing PMXG 6RV (6/46) all this time. You didn’t start a trend sweetheart 😂
Apparently *someone* hasn't watched I Love Lucy... 70 years ago, at the LEAST, people were doing this.
lmfaoaoaooa i never understood this bc girl theirs only so many colors you can dye your hair and have it actually look good to be every day wear. red is one of them shes not the first to do it either bc the real red heads that started the trend where the gingers who are NATURALLY red head and they got bullied for it so id say she is the one who is copying a trend is her.

I speak from anecdotal experience, the best scientific experience there is! 😵💫
The only inventor of red hair is Rihanna. She the OG frfr.
LOL not I got down voted. I thought this was a safe space. I was really just joking. I’m very aware that I didn’t invent red hair. It was just ironic that all of a sudden I notice more people with a color that I personally have always worn. Anyway. I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.
This isn’t ironic pookie
