In this episode of the How to be a Redhead Podcast, we’re diving into the emotional side of redhead identity — from strawberry blondes who feel “in-between,” to redheads who have struggled to love their hair, to the big question: is bullying really a rite of passage for redheads? We pull themes from real Reddit discussions and share our own experiences around insecurity, acceptance, and confidence. Whether you’re a lifelong redhead, strawberry blonde, or just curious about the redhead experience, this episode is a reminder that every shade has a story — and confidence starts with community.

In this episode of the How to be a Redhead Podcast, we’re celebrating Halloween with a special look at what it’s really like to grow up with red hair — from schoolyard teasing to funny, unforgettable memories that only redheads can relate to. Inspired by real Reddit conversations, we talk about how childhood experiences shape confidence, what’s changed for redhead kids today, and how that unique attention follows many of us into adulthood and even parenthood. Plus, we’re sharing our favorite Halloween costumes, childhood trick-or-treat stories, and why red hair always seems to steal the spotlight this time of year. Whether you were the only redhead in your class or you’re now raising one of your own, this episode celebrates the challenges, pride, and power of standing out.

We'll see you on Wednesday for a special National #LoveYourRedHairDay episode!

In this episode of the How to be a Redhead Podcast, we’re tackling the stereotypes that redheads are tired of hearing — from being sexualized simply because of our hair, to backhanded compliments like “you’re pretty for a redhead,” to the bigger question of why redheads get so much hate in the first place. Inspired by real Reddit conversations, we share our own experiences, community stories, and the deeper psychology behind these stereotypes. Whether you’ve faced these comments yourself or just want to understand what redheads go through, this is a real and unfiltered look at how redheads are perceived — and how we can flip the narrative with confidence.

We’re kicking off a brand-new series on the How to be a Redhead Podcast — diving into real Reddit conversations and community debates about life as a redhead.

Each week, we, Adrienne and Stephanie, your co-founders at How to be a Redhead, will explore what people are saying online, share our own perspectives, and bring in insights from the redhead community.

In this first episode, we’re talking about some of the most common questions and myths around red hair:

• Is there ever an age when you’re “too old” for red hair?
• Is red dye as high-maintenance as people claim?
• And what does psychology reveal about how society perceives red hair compared to other colors?

From confidence to upkeep to social perceptions, this episode is all about celebrating red hair at every stage of life. Whether you’re naturally red, dyeing for the first time, or just curious about how hair color shapes identity, you’ll find something here. Subscribe now to join the conversation each week as we uncover more Reddit debates and community stories about red hair.
