Deep Auburn Redhead Gone Strawberry Blonde

(Seoul, South Korea)

Now age 51, I grew up in the 1960s and 70s as a dark auburn straight/slightly wavy redhead with fair skin and light green eyes. My porcelain skin acquired freckles and multiple sunburns while I grew up. Now I stay completely out of the sun, or at least as much as possible. I use really good sunblock now and my skin is in nice condition.

In year 2000, my husband and I moved to Northern Italy. Within the first two years I began highlighting my hair. I have never returned to a full red color, but have enjoyed having a head of "less remarkable" hair. People tell me my hair looks very natural this way. I got so tired of people asking me if my hair was real (as a redhead), but since going more blonde, no one asks. Also, now I can wear almost every color, but generally think earth tones still look the best on me.
