Is there a correlation between hair color and personality?

Specialists are always analyzing the colors we are wearing, the colors that we prefer, but what about the colors that nature gave us?

Hair color has always been closely associated with personality types and changing one's look can be a way of showing a different part of yourself. But the question is, if we dye our hair, will our personality and behavior change?

Specialists have proven that complexion and hair color influences blood pressure. Just as adrenalin, which has a great role in our emotional states, feelings. So, if you dye your hair red, will you become a hot headed redhead? Specialists say you will, because everyday when you're looking at yourself in the mirror your psyche gets signs that can influence your behavior and you'll not only look like a redhead, but also act like one after a while and tend to adopt the stereotype.

Red Hair Color

Women with red hair are perceived as feisty, opinionated and seductive, usually breaking up with amazing ideas, explosive, irritable, full-blooded, passionate. On the flip side, analysts say you're a sensitive person, strong headed, nothing is impossible for you and you're very outspoken. Hardly get used to new things and very easy to annoy.

Harvard specialists confirm the same: redheads' anti-stress hormone level are much lower, so they're living with an increased level of excitement.

Brown Hair Color

Brunettes are perceived as responsible good girls. French specialists have shown that among people who have won Nobel prices, the majority were brunettes. So are they smarter? No, but they were just constantly working, much harder then others. Brown haired women can be heavy-laden, she gets nervous only in the last really hard minutes when she'll eventually give up.
Specialists have already made up the perfect working group: reds will come up with the ideas, brunettes will make the masterwork, blondes will present it to the public, and the black haired women will handle the financials.
Why are they the perfect workers, why the ones who can make masterworks? Maybe because brown is the color of earth and they have their feet on the ground? Specialists say they do, and that they're reassuring, reliable and impossible to overtake by any of the other blonde, redhead or brunette women.

Blonde Hair Color

Blondes are often thought of as the sex bomb, but also be stereotyped as high-maintenance and vain. They are more intelligent than men think. A survey has shown that blondes divorce more often, being always surrounded by proposals and attention. They get married earlier as well than other women. But why are men more attracted to blondes? This hair color reflects youthfulness and femininity but also can portray obedience and naiveté.
They may seem impressionable and easy but in reality, they have the strongest consciousness, a great memory, large lexical knowledge and they are even good at mathematics! Beside these, they have a great humor.

Black Hair Color

While blondes are hasty, you should slow down with black haired women. They are more low-key, but none of the other colors have got as much respect from men than this one. They have great personalities, but can be seen more often at shrinks or therapists because they're more concerned about where do we come from, where are we going to and how to increase their own evolution. Specialists have shown that black haired women are more serious and measured, sometimes melancholic, self- centered, but often doubting their own power.
They are mostly interested in history, soul developing, religion, being the one that is often concerned of spiritual themes, or poetry and painting which are the same category, and one of the bests when it comes to financials.

Where is chestnut color? LOL
 
More stereotypes, just what we need!


In seriousness though, it does makes some sense. If you are perceived a certain way because of your appearance your whole life, and if you perceive yourself that way too, it will probably have some effect on how you act. I once read about a woman who dyed her hair blonde as an experiment and documented all the different things that changed for her, and all the ways people perceived her and treated her differently from before. And of course, your personality and the way you perceive yourself or want to be perceived, what you think will suit you, has bearing on the hair colour that you voluntary choose to dye it to.

It's interesting to think about. It must not only pertain to hair colour. This same principle must pertain to all aspects of our appearance.
 
My question would be, why is it there can't be similarities across type? I think we give this idea that everyone is so unique too much credit. Yes, we're individuals and not everyone is the same, but why can't there there similarities based on shared traits? Why is that such a difficult thing to consider? Of course, not that we should be stereotyping or rigidly defining who someone is by physical traits, but to say that there can't be any sort of similarities or connections because of these shared traits, is also limiting.
 
I doubt it, it sounds like nonsense. They refer to specialists, but what kind of specialist? My friend works in specialized area of engineering, does that mean his belief that all red heads are Satan's minions is true?

I was blond as a child but it changed into brown. Does that mean I was vain and promiscuous when ten but have somehow become responsible and industrious?
 
No this is stupid.
 
[MENTION=1669]Cedar[/MENTION] just remember hair color and siblings. It's fun to think about, but no. I read the blonde one and the brunette one. The brunette one sucked.
 
wow, apparently, something is either stupid, dumb, or brilliant. So we can't consider different ways to think about things?

Didn't remember the article saying that everything it says is definitely true or must be believed or someone will be flogged. :D




If hair color is determined by genes, and genes can affect or decide personality, then why is it so difficult to consider a connection?
 
No. Hair color has nothing to do with personality.
Just like skin color has nothing to do with personality.

It seems personality and psychological makeup are much more complex than physical traits.

Sorry Cedar! :hug:

I guess I'm a bit sensitive to haircolor stereotypes.

Thats good because it is not true.
 
So, probaby not the best article to post. :D I can understand how these articles can be annoying or how they could be seen negatively.

Honestly, I was just curious whether there could be connection but not in a negative, or stereotypical way. I should've considered this before I posted. I can definitely understand irritation with stereotypes especially if they're treated as truth.

Whoa hold on. We all know black people make the best workers, but maybe that's because they are brunettes like the article says.
