Well it all varies on the individual of course.  My assessment of coincidential events was solely about Kat's occurence.  I know lots of people who change their hair to express certain attitudes, just like they wear certain colours of clothes.

And English, and Math, and Chemistry, and Computer Science... I think I spread myself too thin.  Psychology is where I want to get my Ph.D. though, after I receive my M.A. in English...

At the moment I have mostly blonde hair, similar to the way it was when I was a child before it darkened to brown.  Course, the only reason I dyed it in the first place was for Halloween. ;)

Isn't that quote from "Scent of a Woman?"  Pacino says that on the airplane.  GREAT FLICK!

...I think I'm quoting the Two Ronnies, actually (though when it was originally broadcast, I doubt I got the joke)

Along about the time I decided to end my marriage to an abusive drug addict, I colored my hair red.  I started to stand up for myself more.  I let my bad temper be seen in public. I have been known to let my naughty side show occasionally.  (not often, not yet).

For debate:  Did the change in hair color cause me to change my life?  Or did I change my life first, and subconciously change to the hair color most associated with that change?

You be the judge!  ;D

it's more probable that you decided to change your life, then change your hair.  as you said, it was probably a subconscious thing, but it's my opinion that the color was not so much associated with the change as it was associated with how you wanted to feel about yourself.  the way i see it, based on the info you've provided, it looks like you decided to turn a page in your life and the coloring of your hair was symbolic of that turn.  red is the color of confidence, boldness, pride, courage...all these things that help us along with decisions like this.  i submit to you that the color you chose was more to make you feel confident with yourself and your decision than anything else.  or i could be way off, i'm not saying that my opinion is the absolute truth in your case.  just a theory.  let me know if i've overstepped any bounds.

any color is ok with me as long as it is washed, neat and clean...not long hair that has not seen water in a week or two!!  And balding or bald is fine too....as long as they don't polish their heads like a cue ball!!! ;) :D

I'm with Youngcricket on this. I guess I don't have a preference on hair color and yes, bald is ok too. There are some very sexy men who are just as bald as can be. As for me, I'm blonde (yes, it's bottle blonde, YC!) but who knows what color it will be next. I like to spice things up and change colors often! ;D

Boy is this ingrained from birth, or what?  Why is it always assumed that blondes have more fun?  That brunettes are more serious and/or intelligent?  Redheads have the hottest tempers?

It's like this:  If you're the right man, and you find the right woman, all the right buttons will be pushed.  She'll be the most fun you ever had, in or out of bed.  She will be the smartest person you ever met, and her opinion will matter more than any other.  She will fire your temper to heights not yet seen, and know all the ways to cool it back down.  And it won't matter if she's bald, as long as she's YOURS.  

And it will be the same when a woman finds the man who helps her become the person she always wanted to be.  

And this is why, when someone is looking for their 'type', a 'friend' slowly becomes the 'type' they never knew they were looking for. :)

At least, that's how I see it.  :)

I was talking about this subject with family and friends the last few days.  My mom reminded me that when she asked my why I went redhead after the marriage broke up the only answer I would give her was that "it would P*** him off, that's why".

My girlfriend helped me remember the painful details, which I seemed to have blocked out.  My ex began his emotional abuse by putting down and badmouthing his own mother, who was a redhead.  The next sentence would always be "and you look exactly like her."  There's more, and it got worse before it got better, but the  day I dyed my hair, all I could remember was that he once told me he would leave me if I ever dyed my hair red.  

Well, now it's over, and he has no contact with us, so there's no real need for me to keep my hair red, I just like the way it looks on me, and I'm used to it now.

Mom also said that I was born a redhead, and it got darker as I got older. Trying to capture the innocence of childhood, too?

I'm with you, my sistah!  I change my hair so much,  it is a running joke at my dentist's office...the favorite of the receptionist was my Joan Jett-black hair, which at the time was rather closely cropped.

My current hair has all three colors- red, brunette, and blonde- my stylist loves me, because I let her play. I just don't give a flying you-know-what!  I like to play, too- and my hair color is one of the things I have the most fun with!

As for men-  I'm with Youngcricket- any color is fine- as long as it sees a bottle of shampoo more than the seasonal ritual hair-wash some seem to think women find so attractive.

Hey, just give me a man!

As for the whole butt-hair thing- one word: YUCK!!!!!
