What is the meaning of the different natural and unnatural (dyed) hair colors? Many women dye their hair a multitude of different colors, including, red, blue, green, purple and even pink.
Natural Hair Color Meanings
Does your natural hair color say anything about your personality? There are certain stereotypes about blonds (Bimbo) or red heads (Fiery).
Natural Hair Color Associations
Blond – Attractive, Feminine, Naive, Youthful, High Maintenance, Fun.
Red – Aggressive, Passionate, Impulsive, Opinionated, Promiscuous.
Brown/Brunette – Conscientious/Hard Working, Practical, Dependable, Reliable.
Black – Depth, Exotic, Introspective, Spiritual.
These are stereotypical meanings which in part developed from common color associations. Some of these associations are often reinforced by movies, TV and the media in general.
General Dyed Hair Color Meanings
There is little evidence to suggest any connection between natural hair color and personality, it’s largely just stereotypical connections. However, when you bring personal choice into the equation, things get more interesting. Personal choice often reveals preferences, therefore personality traits.
This is a general explanation of why women and even sometimes men dye their hair unconventional colors. For example, Red, Blue, Green, Purple and Pink, are the most common colors.
Dying hair with unconventional colors, to no surprise, implies unconventional thinking, and a desire to be unique. They also have an impulse to outwardly express themselves, including their desire for creativity. Those with creative desires tend to be open-minded people, open to new experiences and often seeking variety in life.
They’re unlikely to be looking for attention, simply wishing to express their instinctual impulses. There is also a good chance that these people have tattoos for similar reasons.
These people are likely to have a highly intuitive personality. They dislike authority, rules and common conventions. They probably have a somewhat rebellious temperament, likely introverted and passively aggressive, likely to be indirect when dealing with confrontation.
Highly intuitive personalities tend to be idealistic in their thinking, either very compassionate or logical, depending on the dominance of other personality traits. This intuitiveness often leads to not always very practical thinking and ideas.
