W editorial, March 2007, by Steven Klein – positively ODing on cherry hair pics, aren’t we, my lovelies?Can you guess what color CC is contemplating dying her currently blonde hair? What do you think, darlings: should CC join Coco and trade up for rubicund locks?
Also, speak up if you have copper, burgundy, or any other rosy shade of hair or highlights – do you love being a redhead?
CC appreciates the input as always, darlings!

CC

Hey Carrie. Wow! Those are some pictures. I remember I went through a phase where all I wanted to date was redheads. Heck, I even dyed my own hair. Don't ask. lol
i loved Lindsay best as a redhead :o( .....
I adore red hair paired with a charismatic face, it's too fierce. And my absolute fave is the Iman fro one :)
Afros are my ideal hair, and that red is incred. ible!
Hope you're having a fabulous week, CC :)
oh wow, this makes me jealous of redheads! i wish i had paler skin to pull it off. it's such a striking look.
Wow those are some amazing photos of redheads.. what shade of red would suit me I wonder? I am looking for a change.. hmm..
I always dream for red hair...maybe one day.
I must admit I do love red heads (my mom is a true one). I always wanted red hair but wouldn't die it. hope all is well CC! and you are right about the LES! I go there for friend's gigs on a Saturday and I feel like a frat house threw up all over Ludlow Street. BUT I am not going to hate because change is inevitable. I hope you are well!
If I wasn't blonde, I would be a redhead. I'm too used to standing out with my blonde hair, so red is a good alternative. I could never go brunette.
I even had redhair in my grad picture in high school. It was an auburn though if I were to do that now, I would go for a vibrant dark red or strawberry blonde (my hair is bordering on that right now, might end up that way this summer).
BTW - my blog: spinning! Yes, I go to spinning class once a week, I used to go four times a week but the schedules for the classes are insane. I have to call at 6AM on the dot to reserve a bike because by 610 they are all gone and I don't like losing the hour and half of sleep just to call!
Also, I'm training for a 10K so spinning helps with the cross-training part of it but won't help me run.
In the future I'll probably just run for 40 minutes 3 x a week and spin once, call it a day!
have a good one - great post!

Hi CC,
You know, I have a red hair! :D
Lovely pics!
xoxo: Janet
You could totally rock the red hair, darling!! Can't wait to see what you decide :-) Love these images...as usual!
Wow! Awesome looks! I think you'd look absolutely great in red hair!
xoxo
red hair is so fabulous, i have a friend who colours her naturally blonde hair to red and it's so stunning! :)
La rousse revient au galop ! Et j'aime beaucoup !
Gros bisous
Chloé

Where are u on the east coast??

I love red hair so much! Julia Dunstall has the perfect colour!
Red hair is just so daring and dramatic, it looks so hot on those who have the attitude to pull it off! Coco Rocha always looks so edgy and amazing. I dare you to find a good looking red-haired dude though ;)
Red stammy was just fan-ta-stic, such a statement in itself !
I adore auburn, dark red... but Coco's tone is really cool too ¨!
Interesting post! I love that kind of red hair that seems to be orange, like Coco Rocha's! Preen, Ruffian and Zac Posen options are also amazing!!
xx
I love red hair. My father is red-haired, but unfortunately my hair is not red..I've wanted natural red hair for all my life, and freckles, too.
I really like red Coco and Vlada:)
I turned my blonde hair RED for awhile... it was FUN!!! I told hubby (then boyfriend) to call me Raven... Raven Red!!!
He liked it BUT when it was getting close to our wedding he asked me to go back to blonde... he said he met and fell in love with a blonde and he would like to marry one... sooooooo I went back to my blonde hair... I've never returned to red... YET!!!
ENJOY... go red... you can always go back!
i love red! in fact i'm thinking of switching my highlights to a red shade instead of blonde highlight i'm thinking it might look good with my dark hair =). But Coco is sooo pretty! love her!
RED alert indeed!
CC,have u watched this =http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/international/2009/03/18/revealed.carine.roitfeld.bk.a.cnn?iref=videosearch
If not, enjoy it dahlin'. Lovely day 2U*
Yo una temporada lo llevé pelirojo.Good blog!Xoxo
My friends with red hair love it, but I think it just depends on whether the color suits you or not. It is a bold shade, and most of the time, I think it looks gorgeous! It doesn't look natural on Coco, but she pulls it off so nicely, and it's great to see someone who is not dying their hair platnium blonde again (but, of course, I don't have a problem with it if it's natural or looks best).
If I didn't have to bleach my black hair out before dying it, I'd totally want to try being a redhead. I say go for it!
I love Coco Rocha's red hair!
The red back to blonde process as I remember took a little work... I believe they dyed it a shade of brown... and then weaved blonde into it... it has been 16 years... it was MUCH EASIER going RED then going back to blonde... but it all worked out!
Thanks Fifi et al for your fab observations and advice!
xoxox,
CC
Time to Change!
Something like photos via Tush, by Mario Testino, Numero (Yes!), Iman and finally - Coco hair!
Red hair is absolutely different (in every good case!)!!!
I think - Any great hairstyle is better with red hair.

I so adore red hair. Lily Cole is one of my favorite redheads. She's just adorable!
Thanks for your visit and your comment Carrie, I have to carefully watch your blog! it's very good!
Besos
I always hear how red is such a hard color to maintain and that it fades fast, but I have no personal experience.
I never used my hair red.. always brown and know with 2 different highlights tons - blond and caramel..
I really think this is Coco's best look! Even though it's rather bright in the first few photos, it looks like her natural hair color in the runway photo.
so beautiful, cc!
gosh, karen elson! total goddess!
I love how it can be so subtle and also so incredibly dramatic! Definitely make me feel boring with my blonde hair:)
i went through a red phase.. its VERY hard to get off though.. pix look fab! x
Red hair with pale skin is fierce. Great Collection as usual.
Waves Carrie!
I just dream of waking up a red head. To me, red heads are the most gorgeous girls ever. Too bad it doesn,t hold up well or I would totally redye my hair red.
Thanks for the sweet comment.

Red hair is so beautiful, I wish I could dye mine a sexy scarlet ... damn my huge dark eyebrows!
Thanks for the comment, my trilby is feeling a lot of love rigt now!

Try it! But be prepared to be treated differently. I am told that red haired women get treated with an air of mystery.
Hmmmm... didn't know, but maybe was because of that that I've made some nuances to start changing my black hair LOL
I'm so sure you would look gorgeous and fabulous as a redhead!!!!!
xoxo
Coca Rocha looks wonderful with the red hair! And Lily Cole, she is so pretty =) My best friend is a readhead, she would probably appreciate this haha.
peace&love,
nicole.
I have to say..I've been missing my red hair a lot. It's still redish, but it used to be a vibrant POW red. I'm thinking of going back to that...
xx-LJ from SOS!
Do it, do it, do it! I had a red afro just like the Iman pic you posted about 3 years ago. Loved it, but I will admit, it was expensive to maintain. I only kept it for about 6 months. But it was a red hott 6 months!
I love Coco! The story in Vogue was cool. I don't like Karen Elson though... Great blog!
I swear to god she is a shapeshifter or something because she looks SO different in all of those pics. Make Me a Supermodel tells me that that is a trait of a good supermodel.
i love red hair, red lips, red nails..... (although probbaly not all at once! hehe)
oooh, I don't know...I'd probably give it a try as long as you're positive that you get it back to the way it is now too. I love how dramatic red hair is!
Coco Rocha is so gorgeous - seriously, she looks stunning in anything she ever wears, and any makeup that she has on!
And Lily Cole is just absolutely beautiful.
I wish I could pull off their red hair!
I wish I could pull off red hair... But I don't think asian skin goes well with red hair. But you should definitely go for it!
Ohhh Love the red! I think you should do it (i;ve been wanting to go red too). It would be fun!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
xoxo

I've always been rather drawn to photos of redheads, probably because I'm a ginger myself. I love it! I get so many compliments on my hair color.
I looove redhair! And Coco's new hair looks amazing.. Thanks for the comment on my blog, glad to discover yours, xx
i think CC Should! it's gorgeous!
Love the makeup at Zac Posen
Red hair ? Like a dream...
striking. asians can pull of the red hair too!
LOVE the red! I love CoCo Rocha in red and Jessica Stam in that BCBG ad! Maybe I should consider the change.
Ohhh!! gorgeous!! Definitely want to see a photo of your tansformation.
I have "strawberry blonde" hair but often gets called red.
Fabulous photos xxx
Red hair this year was basically ALL about Coco and Vlada. Big changes, but it suits both girls. I think I like Vlada better with the red though.
[K]
Thanks! :) How was your day? I don't know where you live, but is the sun shining there as well? I mean the last few days ;) Because in Belgium we had a cold winter and now finally spring is coming :D So now everyone is happy! ^^

Vlada turned red as well, I almost didn't recognised her when she went out MiuMiu :O
kisses

happy weekend!
xoxo,
Gia!

anyway, hope you have a very good weekend!

Thanks for your feedback on the fabric ideas for my "virtual" chairs :-) I think Uptown might be my favourite too :-)
I love adding copper highlights to my hair. Funny, I never wanted to be a redhead when I was younger, but I'd like to be one now :-)
Kelly @ DesignTies
those girl are all very touching!
I like the red hair so much! specially like Coco hair
These are stunning.
haha, so if i went red last year ad black this year, does that mean I'm a trend starter, or waaaaay off in left field?
Red hair is way too difficult to maintain. The brightness of the red washes off after only one shower, and you get left with a vert dull looking orangy color, so you have to invest in quality color protecting products, and still visit your hairdresser every three weeks -- at least.
Also, the colors you can wear with red hair is very limited. Anything that's a little bright or colorful or patterned makes you look like a clown.
All in all, red hair is sexy and beautiful, but it's just too much work.
The last photo with the fruit loops reminds me of a photo of Jeffree Star he obviously stole the idea from that lol.
You see new video cintia dicker nude's !!!
Great Girl!
