We're one week away from National #LoveYourRedHairDay weekend and we have one more episode dropping on November 3rd! We're having some of our favorite conversations to wrap up the season and we'd like everyone to welcome Laura Jackel to the How to be a Redhead podcast!

She's the Senior Lifestyle Writer at Mamamia, Australia’s super channel for women. She is also a mum of two boys and a former natural redhead. She recently wrote an article titled: 'I've been blonde, brunette and a redhead. There's one colour I would not go back to.' She details how she was born with natural red hair and journeyed through different hair colors. We are so excited for you to enjoy this interesting conversation. Some of the questions we asked her:

1. Why did you write this article? And how was it to reflect on your hair journey?
2. You write about now turning gray, saying, “The graying remains of my natural ginger hair are for now, still under my cool blonde highlights and I feel nostalgic and sad about the fact I didn't embrace its natural shade for longer than I did." We read your son is a natural redhead -- do you share tips with him on self-acceptance?
3. “As a ginger-haired, pale, and freckle-faced kid, I would have done anything to change my hair color and complexion. I faced plenty of teasing for being a redhead..” Now for the question we ask our redhead guests: what was it like for you growing up as a redhead? From reading your article, it seems like it was not pleasant.
4. You say you went back to red for your wedding and for the birth of your child. It made us wonder how your husband feels (or felt then) about your natural red hair and if he influenced you to go back to your natural red hair?
5. We found it interesting you went from red to blonde to brunette, saying, “But in my late 20s when I decided I wanted to be taken more seriously at work, I completed the hair trifecta and became a brunette.” Tell us more.
6. As we mentioned before, you went back to red for the birth of your child in 2010. Why?
7. Now for the present day, you’re blonde. We wanted to read the last sentence of the article to listeners. You say, “Perhaps in years to come, I will branch out and embrace my greys or even try a candy pink, but right now I'm comfortable as a blonde."
8. What advice do you have for redheads, no matter their age, struggling with their identity? Do you recommend trying a new hair color or embracing you?

Stephanie "Steph" Cheape is a natural redhead + singer/songwriter from Scotland. She has 300K followers on TikTok where she posts about Scottish culture, her music, and of course, life as a redhead. October is Bullying Awareness Month and we couldn't think of a better guest to discuss bullying, and her very own experience growing up with red hair in Scotland.

Follow her on Instagram

Questions we ask Steph:

1. What was it like for you growing up as a redhead?
2. It seems like there is a stigma in the UK surrounding red hair. Do you think this is true? And if so, why the cultural difference?
3. Is there anything, you believe, we can do better to stop the UK stigma of redheads? Do you think it will ever stop?
4. We know you wear our Finally Have Lashes mascara in Perfectly Auburn! We have more shades coming out this fall. Do you feel like redhead makeup has helped you embrace your red hair even more? If a redhead beauty line were more readily available in the UK, do you think it would help the redhead stigma?
5. You’ve commented that TikTok users tend to be nicer than Instagram users. Do you think this has to do with a younger, more accepting generation? Do you feel like users are more accepting of your red hair on TikTok than Instagram?
6. You share fun facts about redheads on social media. What’s your favorite fun fact you like to pull out?
7. We know you’re a musician! Tell us about your music career, how it’s going + what’s next for you professionally. Any projects you can tell us about?

If you listen to us regularly, you know we did a different podcast flow for Episode 20. Usually, we chat, then we call our guest, we reflect on the guest after the conversation is over, and we end it with Q&A. For the 20th episode, we put together 2 interviews with coinciding topics. We heard great reviews, so we’re back to do it again with today’s episode!

This time, we’re dedicating this special episode to those who dye their hair red. You could be a true redhead ‘by choice’ or a natural redhead wanting to be more vibrant. 

Today, we’re talking to a popular TikTok influencer, Ana Saia, who dyes her hair red and IG famous professional colorist, Amber Todaro, who specializes in dyeing hair red for her clients. We can’t wait for you to meet them! If you’re wanting tips on how to go red OR if you want tips because your red hair is fading OR you’re interested because you’re a redhead ‘by choice’, this episode is for you. 

Ana Saia was raised in Las Vegas, NV with her family and went red a few years ago. She has been on social media for 2+ years now and has racked up over 2.8 million followers on TikTok (at the time of recording). Her TikTok bio reads, “the redhead Latina” and she loves making videos for those in the Latino community who feel left out. It's also a special time because National Hispanic Heritage Month ends on October 15th (Sunday). Follow Ana Saia on Instagram | Follow Ana Saia on TikTok

Amber Todaro is a professional colorist and self-described “copper queen” from New York. You may know her on Instagram as @ColorMeAmber. She owns Color Me Amber Studio in St. James, New York in Long Island where she makes copper dreams come true. If you follow her, you’ll see how bright and colorful her page is and we absolutely love her Instagram account. Follow Amber on TikTok too.

We talk about the following:

1. See why each of them decided to go red
2. Tips for keeping red hair vibrant: best color depositing shampoos, conditioners
3. Tips for going to the salon
4. Trends such as Cowboy Copper, Apple Cider Copper, Cinnamon Cookie Butter, Ice Spice Red, and Cherry Cola
5. Permanent dye and when it’s important to know what to do at home and when you should head to the salon.
6. What should natural redheads do who have a lot of white/gray is coming through and color-depositing shampoos/conditioners aren’t working anymore?

You guessed it right, we're getting excited + ready for Season 6 to start at the beginning of 2024. More to come! Until then, we're having some of our favorite conversations to conclude this *amazing* season.

We asked her the following:

1. What was it like for you growing up as a redhead?
2. You have lived in Alabama, North Carolina, Spain, Los Angeles, and now South Carolina. Have you noticed any difference in how red hair is perceived based on location?
3. Redheads are well-represented in the world of comedy! Why do you think that is?

5. Congratulations on having a baby this year! Is she a redhead or is it too soon to tell?
6. Tell us about It's a Southern Thing. How did it come about? What projects are you working on now?
7. On IG, you did a short sketch about how curly hair naturally falls into a triangle shape when it’s down. Have you found any hair products you recommend for curly hair?
8. Lucille Ball famously dyed her hair red because she wanted to stand out in show business. Do you think your red hair has helped you stand out in the entertainment industry?

We have done many episodes and have posted many articles on HowtobeaRedhead.com about redheads feeling more pain, or feeling pain differently. Since we know getting tattoos can be painful, we had to dedicate an entire episode to this topic. We couldn't have chosen a better guest than Lyndi Lou. She is a natural redhead, tattoo artist and owner of Mama Tried Tattoo Parlour in Louisville, Kentucky. She is also a painter & wood burner.

Follow her on Instagram: @lyndilou

Questions we ask her:

1. What was it like for you growing up as a redhead?
2. Your style is often described as colorful, whimsical, and humorous. How do you incorporate these elements into your tattoo designs?
3. Do you think redheads have specific needs when it comes to choosing a tattoo artist?
4. The pain tolerance of redheads is a debated topic. As a natural redhead, and someone who often sees people handle pain, what is your opinion?
5. Have you ever had any clients who were hesitant about getting a tattoo because of pain, and how do you help them prepare for their appointment(s)?
6. Can you tell us about any specific tattoo design that you're particularly proud of or that holds a special significance to you?
7. Tattoo removal! Do you know about it?

1. What was it like for you growing up as a redhead?
2. You post a lot of photos with curly hair. Is your hair naturally curly? What’s your secret for beautiful curls?
3. Do you do anything special to keep your red hair vibrant?
4. We love talking about SKIN! We see on Instagram that you get waxed. What kind of hair removal would you recommend for redheads with skin too sensitive for waxing?
5. You made a post about how good skin does not equal flawless skin. We think this is an important message considering so many people use filters to make their skin look perfectly smooth. What does it mean to have “good skin” – especially for redheads with sensitivity?
6. You are an advocate for sunscreen as skincare. Which brands do you use?
7. What products are you loving for your morning skincare routine right now?
8. Red hair is trending in 2023 – it seems to trend every year. What do you think about this?
