Amy Adams: Red Hair Changed My Life
MAY 9, 2008 AT 01:22 PM
"I've had red hair for the past four years. Before that I never thought of being anything but blonde. There was a definite shift in my life when I decided to go red. When you're blonde, people associate it all with being flirty. With red hair, suddenly you're quirky."
-- Amy Adams
I recently heard a study done that asked women if they could naturally be any color, what would it be. The answer was an overwhelming RED! So maybe Amy is onto something here.

YES! I recently watched "Drop Dead Gorgeous" for the first time in forever, and realized that Amy Adams was the cheerleader girl who couldn't stop making out with her boyfriend! She was blond then and totally forgettable. I hear ya, Amy!
drop dead gorgeous is one of the best movies ever! lol. "they won't let you perform naked, i already asked" haha. hmmm...cheerleaders at my high school aren't quite that....well...you know.
I have naturally red hair. It is really interesting, because you forget that you are very much in a minority. I watched a movie the other day and one of the main characters had super red hair (just about the same as mine) and I realized that is how I look EVERY day.
Just like fashion, hair color goes in and out of vogue. Back when we were kids redheads were almost considered freaks of nature. Remember?
I've never understood what all the damn fuss is over being blonde. Red is absolutely where it's at. I mean come on it's so rare and beautiful!
I've had really dark brown hair (almost black), reddish, and blonde (right now). I gotta say that being blonde is the best. I feel like it's the color that suits my complexion and my style the best, and everyone says I look like a totally different person (in a good way). I'll definitely be sticking to blonde for a while.
My daugher is a natural redhead (gorgeous color, copper with natural blondish highlights) and she gets so much attention! She's 14 and I was worried she'd end up hating having red hair (and being different), but she has really embraced it. She's beautiful. : - )
i'm a natural dark brown, but i have been every shade blonde, red, black. it's so fun to change your color. the way people treat you is soo wierd. even my own boyfriend treats me differnt and has to adjust to my new color. kinda strange
#7, I agree! I got my hair done a couple of weeks ago and everyone treats me totally different. My bf loves it so he's all about my hair... apparently blonde hair=doll hair so everyone loves it.
I have wanted my hair red for a long time! I've tried to dye it a gazillion times and it always comes right out. My blonde hair just won't have it! LOL
LOVE red hair. Mine is brown. There are so many different shades of red and I love them all.
You can tell this quote came from someone not having redhair as a child. Kids were very cruel when I was growing up about my red hair. Now that Im an adult I love it.
Yeah, I'm a natural chestnut brown but I've been dying my hair red for the last 6 or 7 years and it always stands out, I can't imagine going any other color.
Its a beautiful thing being a true, real, honest beautiful redhead!!! YEAH! Thanks for putting something like this on here...it reminds me that I am special!!! HEE! HEE! Feisty, foxy, spicy, sassy...all for the love of being a redhead!!!
..............IT FUCKS BETTER?
I have naturally red hair and white skin but i dye my hair dark brown and in 4 to 6 weeks i can see the red again all over. Its a really strong color, and i kind of hate it. In ancient times red hair women were considered witches and even now some men consider them a kinky lay. I'm not makeing this up, I met quite a few in my natural hair colour times...they're quite pathetic...
I too am a red head....since the day I was born! It's awesome......there are so few natural red heads out there.....I add some blonde for depth and dimension....I love it!!!!!
Red hair is beautiful, I wish it was my natural hair color (but black isn't bad either), I'm a blonde and its just boring, to me its like having no color on the head.
Here we have a show called "germany's next topmodel" - its the same as in america - and the last year's winner has amazing red, long hair, all natural

i'm already slightly strawberry blonde. like i look like a blonde who has lots of different streaks of red in their hair. I've always wanted to be red tho. i have such fair skin so it wouldn't look so abnormal. I can't wait for it and i think red is sexier than blonde! Listen up reds, love your locks!
Yes... but i think that only very few people can pull of red hair! But it does look gorgeous :)
Though students at my school do cop a lot of grief if they have red hair, they are called RANGAS.. Ah well i guess its just jealousy :)
I have dirty blonde hair naturally, i like it!! I think it accompanies my personality (goofy) even if i had another hair colour people still wouldn't take me seriously :)
Everyone's hair is beautiful its just what best suits you! And the best part is that you can always change it and style it to make yourself feel good :)

I have natural red hair and tons of freckles but its alright.
yet i get teased a bit but whats so different about red and all the other hair colours!
I'm glad my friends dont care
I am a natural red head and have spent my whole life (30 years) in emotional pain due to the harsh, cruel comments that people dish out to red heads. I hate my life! People are so awful. I have tried to kill myself and cry all the time. I would rather have cancer or be in a wheel-chair than live the life that I have lived as a red head. It is just heart-breaking.
That is so sad. People can be so hurtful.
I have natural red hair and though I have been teased for it since I was a kid, I wouldn't trade it for the world! It's unique and fun and I love it!
I am naturally ash blonde (read: GRAY), but I have really fair skin and green eyes (like Adams). I've been dying my hair red and no one believes I'm not a natural redhead (even when it's currently colored an obviously not-natural shade of red). My family has Celtic and Viking origins, and my great-grandmother had Titian hair, but I somehow landed with blonde. While being a redhead in places like England gets you prejudice, here in America, being blond is still very much equated with being a brainless bimbo. I am really opinionated and strong-willed, and blond hair wasn't natural to me (even if the hair was). I'm quite happy with my red hair.
Did you know that quite a few famous opera divas have died died their hair red (Sutherland, Sills, etc)? It's apparently a very popular color in that scene.
Sorry, I messed up: Adams has blue eyes, but the fair skin thing still applies.
