Two Tropes About Redheads That Redheads Should Stop Laughing About

They need to stop.

If you look at film and media, there are tons of tropes you will see again and again. Tropes are figures of speech that move the meaning of the text from literal to figurative. There are so many stereotypes about redheads and whether it is tongue in cheek or not, many people actually do believe they exist. We have continuously debunked many redhead myths but what’s ultimately gross about those jokes is they’re just another vehicle for redhead-bashing.

Here are just two tropes about redheads in movies and on TV you’ve probably noticed:

1. The Hyper Sexualization Trope

Oftentimes redhead women are portrayed as highly sexual and promiscuous in TV and movies. In these Hollywood scenes, redhead women are usually lusted after and desired by all. While we agree that redheads are gorgeous, it’s odd that the red hair trait automatically makes redheads a sex symbol. 

2. The Nerdy and Geeky Trope

Redhead men are often portrayed as being nerds and geek and are often bullied in movies and TV. This is quite the opposite of how redhead women are portrayed. We have talked extensively about how redhead women are portrayed differently than redhead men. Read more here. 

Obviously, stereotypes are bad. To assume that a redhead is only one thing (sexy or nerdy) is ridiculous. Of course, there are exceptions in both cases, but take a look next time you watch something with redheaded characters, and you might see these tropes being played out more than you think. These cliches are powerful because they’re easy, and that’s why we see them standing in again and again for “real” redhead qualities and characters. The important thing is that we learn to recognize and call out such stereotypes when they’re being used because they’re not just “funny” or stupid; they’re a way in which redheads can continue to be belittled or undermined.

Everything Redheads Need to Know About Facial Gua Sha Benefits

This ancient Chinese practice is all the rage and is said to provide super-glowing skin!

Redheads, you may have seen celebs and influencers rubbing these oddly shaped stones on their faces. This is actually an ancient Chinese beauty and health practice called Gua Sha. Here’s everything you need to know about gua sha, and how your redhead skin can benefit from incorporating it into your everyday skincare routine. 

What is a Gua Sha tool? 

These specifically shaped tools are typically made up of semi-precious stones like jade or rose quartz. They are carved in a way that allows them to have a place to hold onto as well as a firm, flat surface. The stone is pressed into the face in a gentle upward motion. 

How do you use it?

Each gua sha tool will have its own directions for use, but the upward, outward motion is the most important part of any technique. The results are said to be lifted eyebrows, reducing fine lines, smoothing of wrinkles, etc. 

Why is Gua Sha so popular?

This ancient tradition has been around for centuries but recently became popular in mainstream American beauty and wellness communities. As social media and the internet become more and more saturated with those looking for beauty tips, the sharing of wellness practices has never been easier. This, coupled with a rise in self-care and at-home beauty, has brought gua aha to the front of the American beauty industry.

What are the specific redhead skin benefits of Gua Sha?

There are many potential benefits of Gua Sha. Users may experience all of them or only some of them. Gua sha also may not be beneficial for those with a history of blood clots or on blood clot medication. Some of the benefits of gua sha include: 

  • Increased Blood Flow
  • Stimulating the Lymphatic System
  • Smoothing of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
  • Tension Relief 
  • Facial Glowing 
  • Facial Detoxing
  • Assistance with Rosacea
  • Assistance with Acne Prone/Sensitive Skin

6 Best Boots To Try This Redhead Season

It's time to pull out your boots, redheads!

One of the best things about Redhead Season/autumn is getting to break out the boots. Here are a few of our favorite trending boot looks for fall: 

1. Lace-Up Combat Boots

Doc Martens and similarly styled boots were ultra-popular in the 90s, and in the past few years they have made a comeback. They are the perfect fall boot for when you’re dressing down or want to add some edge to your look. 

Shop: Black Doc Martens combat | Brown combat | White Doc Martens combat 

2. Knee High Boots 

Over the years, the knee-high boot has evolved from riding boots to suede boots and now to a classic leather or faux leather look usually with a heel. These boots are great dressed up with skirts and dresses or even dressed down with jeans. 

Shop: Black knee high boots | Brown knee high boots | Snake skin faux knee high boots

3. Cowboy Boots

The western-style boot has made its comeback in the past few years and we are here for it. Pop them on with a dress or wear them with jeans. Cowboy boots are fun to style and can be a real statement piece in your closet. 

Shop: Brown faux leather cowboy boot | White leather cowboy boot | Black cowboy boot 

4. Ankle Boots

A classic style that you can easily dress up or down is an ankle boot. They are comfortable and go with all kinds of outfits. Quality ankle boots in neutral colors are a must for every wardrobe. 

Shop: White bootie | Tan bootie | Black bootie

5. Chunky-Soled Boots

This fall, we are seeing a lot of chunky-soled boots. These chunky boots can take a little getting used to when you’re styling them but they are a great way to make a basic outfit look extremely cool and put together. 

Shop: Cranberry combat with heel | Black and white chunky boot | Black with rhinestones bootie

6. Chelsea Rain Boots

If you live somewhere where fall is a rainy season, having some rain boots is a must. Traditional tall rain boots can be great for when you’re outside but a pain if you’re at work or school. Try a short Chelsea rain boot for something you can wear all day and keep your feet dry.

    Here’s the Best Way Redheads Can Wear Neutrals for Fall

    Rock Those Neutrals... like a Redhead!

    Redhead Season/autumn is filled with gorgeous colors in warm shades, but sometimes you just want to rock a neutral. Neutrals work in every season, and they are a great base for pairing with other colors or alone. Here are a few ways to rock neutrals this fall:

    Neutral Lounge Wear:

    Loungewear and athleisure have gotten super popular in the last few years, and that means we’ve seen a lot of neutrals in this style. Choosing neutrals for your loungewear helps to pull the outfit together and make it look cohesive and intentional instead of lazy.

    Shop: Beige Sweatpant I Black Sweatpants 

    Neutrals with Denim

    Pairing neutrals with denim (which itself is a casual fashion neutral) is a great way to pull together a simple day look that’s chic and still casual.

    Shop: Ripped jean I Boyfriend jeans | Skinny jean 

    Neutrals for Everyday:

    There’s no doubt that neutrals are the perfect everyday look. They can be dressed up or down and paired with any other color there is, especially fall colors!

    Shop: Brown leather skirt | Camel coat | Bucket leather bag 

    Neutral Work Wear: 

    Depending on the type of work you do, it might not be seen as “professional” to dress in bold colors or loud prints. Wearing stylish neutrals is a great way to show off your fashion sense while still being taken seriously in the workplace.

    Shop: High-waisted neutral pants | Gray boyfriend work pants | Leopard satin skirt 

    Neutral Formal Wear:

    Neutrals are perfect for formal wear, especially between seasons or when you’re not quite sure what the dress code is. Neutrals are also great for coordinating with your partner or a group of friends so the photos turn out premium.

    Shop: Cream satin evening dress | Black cocktail dress | Brown satin evening dress 

    Fully Monochromatic Looks:

    If you want to dive headfirst into the neutral look, try a fully monochromatic look with either a singular shade or varying shades of the same color. Monochromatic looks can be very chic if done right.

    These Are the 3 Best False Lashes For Redhead Brides and Bridesmaids

    Get Full, Sexy Lashes fit for a Redhead

    If you’re a redhead bride or bridesmaid, you might be looking for the perfect false lashes. Falsies are great for weddings because they make your eyes pop, add a little drama to your look, and allow your makeup to be seen better in photographs. Whether you’re a newbie to false lashes or you’re a false lash aficionado, we’ve got some redhead-friendly recommendations for you!

    1. Best Brown Falsies

    Ardell Wispies are a very natural-looking lash that will add length and definition without feeling too over the top. This minky brown color is a perfect match for redheads who want something a little more toned down but still want a full lash.

    2. Best Single Lashes

    If you want to fill your lash line out just a little, try single lashes like these from Ardell. They allow you to have more control over where you add volume and length for a subtle look. If you’re getting your makeup professionally done, discuss with your makeup artist the length and color you want your lashes. 

    3. Best Bold Lashes

    If you want a full glam look, try out the Demi Wispies in black. The bold black color will really make your eyes pop, and the tapered edge will give you that dramatic flair you’re looking for.

    4 Reasons Why Redheads Should Clean Their Hairbrush Weekly

    Clean Hairbrush = Healthy Red Hair

    Redheads, how often are you cleaning your hairbrush? You should be cleaning it at least once a week. You might think cleaning your hairbrush isn’t a big deal, but using a dirty hairbrush might actually be leading to problems with your hair and scalp. 

    1. Removes Build Up

    When you brush your hair, all the build-up of product is being deposited onto your hairbrush, but that means that the next time you brush your hair, it’s all just being brushed through your hair again. Some of that buildup can go back onto your hair and cause a gross texture on your hair and scalp.

    Tip: For clean, healthy red hair, make sure you pull out those excess brush hairs whenever you’re done brushing or at least one time per week.

    2. Allows for Better Brushing

    The more hair that’s built up on your brush, the less bristle is exposed. This means your hairbrush isn’t brushing through as thoroughly as it should be. Cleaning out the hair will allow you full access to the bristles.

    3. Reduces Oils

    Just like product build-up, there are oils that build up in the hair on your brush. Using your brush with those hairs still on there means you’re transferring the oils right back to the hair on your head. Cleaning your brush can help reduce oiliness in the hair and on the scalp. 

    4. Keeps Hair Clean

    If you brush dirty hair with your brush, and then you brush clean hair it’s getting your clean hair dirty again. Just like you wouldn’t use a dirty fork when you eat, don’t use a dirty hairbrush on your hair.

    How Often Should You Cut Your Red Hair?

    When Should You Be Getting a Trim?

    If you’ve ever heard you need to cut your red hair every 6-8 weeks, you might have been misinformed. Let’s talk about how often you actually need to cut your red hair. 

    How often should you be getting a haircut? 

    According to stylists, every 3-4 months is a good time for a trim.

    It comes down to your overall hair health. 

    The health of your hair may play a role. If you use lots of heat your red hair is likely to be more damaged and need more trimmed off. If you avoid heat, your red hair might be able to go longer between cuts. If your red hair is more prone to spilt ends, trimming every 8 weeks may help your hair look healthy. 

    And, the style you’re looking to maintain. 

    If you want to maintain your style, especially if you have shorter hair, you might need to cut your red hair more often. If you’re trying to grow your red hair out, you might want to wait a little longer between trims.

    So how do you know what’s the right amount of time between cuts? 

    The best thing to do is speak with your hairstylist about your hair goals. They will be able to recommend how much to take off and when, and if you’re not sure or are going to a new stylist stick to the 12-week rule. 

    How often do you cut your hair? Share below!
