What`s with all the red hair?

Well phil,

Here in Texas the trend continues. I believe red is the most favored color because while it is different and (gasp!) shocking, it is also more conservative than the other colors out there. Forinstance, I have noticed many of the teens hanging out at the skate park are favoring neon green and blue, while some girls are doing the "dye your hair white blond and tip it with blue" thing. There isn`t much ridicule, just the view that "hm, they`re rather daring and expressive." At least, that`s what I think. My roomie`s boyfriend plays with his hair often going from smurf blue with neon yellow bangs to maroon with white tips. It`s pretty neat when we expect him to come over because we never know what color his head is going to be! Plus, he is a drama major and plays in a rock band, so that may be why it is acceptable. But over all, I think that those who have an alternative color on their head are looked at as experimental, young or even edgy. Hope that helps ya.
