The question is;
"What colour is my hair?"
OK. OK, just hear me out!
The thing is, the answer I get is NEVER the same. It ranges from Brown, to Ginger to Strawberry Blonde!
(I remember one of my Junior School teachers telling me it was Auburn, when we were working on a project 'All About Me', but as I discovered that I couldn't spell it, I just wrote Red,)
This time though, there was an agreement from two people.
Apparently my hair is Strawberry Blonde.
I do NOT agree, but I thought that it was worth investigating.
I discovered that there is no clear idea as to what colour a Strawberry Blonde actually is. Both Debra Messing and Sienna Miller are both referred to as Strawberry Blondes and they are as different as night and day!
So I think the answer is that some people will continue to use that term and I will continue to deny it!
Ah well, at least I did not have to deal with the 'hate crimes' that were carried out against red-headed children last month!

My hair color definitions...
Strawberry Blonde- Blonde with a subtle hint of red. Like little Nathan's hair.
Red- Abigail and Melissa C, Debra Messing when she does not have blonde highlights.
Auburn- definded as a reddish-brown or golden-brown color. I stick with the reddish-brown.
I would say yours is something in between all three of these. I think it's lighter than what I think of as red, but I would really have to compare you side by side with the C girls! It's not really dark browny red like I think auburn is.
There really isn't a hair color name for yours. :) I think the closest would be chestnut. (Go to picsearch.com and search for chestnut horse and you'll see what I mean.)
Hair colors are just strange though, what's the difference between dirty blonde and light brown? I call grey/silvery-blondes dishwater blonde, and then there is white blonde. Dark brown, brown black, black. Man it all gets confusing.
I love long comments, can you tell?
