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, Australiaâs 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:
Why did you write this article? And how was it to reflect on your hair journey?You write about now turning gray, saying, âThe 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?âAs 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..â 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.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?We found it interesting you went from red to blonde to brunette, saying, âBut 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.â Tell us more.As we mentioned before, you went back to red for the birth of your child in 2010. Why?Now for the present day, youâre blonde. We wanted to read the last sentence of the article to listeners. You say, âPerhaps 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."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?Links Mentioned in Article:

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 weâre back to do it again with todayâs episode!
This time, weâre dedicating this special episode to those who dye their hair red. You could be a true redhead âby choiceâ or a natural redhead wanting to be more vibrant.
Today, weâre 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 canât wait for you to meet them! If youâre wanting tips on how to go red OR if you want tips because your red hair is fading OR youâre interested because youâre a redhead âby choiceâ, 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, âthe redhead Latinaâ 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

We have a passion for beauty at H2BAR. We, Adrienne and Stephanie, grew up in an environment where many of the women around us were passionate about skincare, makeup, and beauty routines. It influenced us to start HowtobeaRedhead.com in 2012 and why we wanted to start the first-ever redhead beauty-focused podcast (the How to be a Redhead podcast) in 2018. We jump into specific topics all of the time and sometimes forget there are redheads out there without a deep background in beauty.
Today's guest is Pam Cameron. We're so excited for you to meet our lovely, kind, natural-redhead podcast producer. Throughout 2023, we have had many conversations with Pam and she would ask us beauty-related questions. We thought, "Our listeners would love to hear this..."
So, here we go. We ask Pam the following questions:
Weâll start off by asking about your beauty background. Was your mom into beauty? We know you have a redhead sister too! Is she into beauty?Before meeting us, what were your beauty concerns? Did you have any? Frizzy hair? Dry, itchy skin?We sent you a box of products with hair/skin items â and Finally Have Lashes/Finally Have Brows. Youâve been testing and trying items for a while now. What questions do you have? Have you enjoyed any products?We know you asked us about using mascara and how to apply it and what to do with the tube. What are your questions about mascara?Brows! How are you doing using Finally Have Brows!?Skincare: What does your skincare routine look like? What questions do you have about the steps when applying skincare?Do you wear SPF daily?Haircare: We know you just started using conditioner! How does your hair feel?Are there any products you want to try but are afraid to do so?Products:

To kick off our 20th episode this season, we're doing something special today! It will be a different format because we're covering two important topics: how to donate your red hair + redhead wigs. To help us answer your questions, we have 2 different guests on today's episode:
The first guest is Suzanne Chimera. Sheâs a native New Yorker and President/Co-Founder of HairWeShare. She founded it in 2014 after being a custom wig designer for twenty years. HairWeShare creates custom wigs for children AND adults with medical hair loss. This is important because many wig organizations only make wigs for kids â but HairWeShare makes wigs for adults + kids.
Then, we called Jordan Fuelberth. Sheâs a 24-year-old natural redhead and works as a certified veterinary technician in Illinois. She has always been a huge supporter of WigsforKids and she feels blessed to be a donor! If you didnât see her viral hair donation TikTok video with millions, and millions, and millions of views (click here), youâre in for a treat. If you happened to see around 36â of red hair being chopped off on TikTok, it was probably Jordan. She will detail how she donated 1 full yard of her own red hair!
If there is anything you can take away from this podcast, it is that redheads have the power to change lives in some way. It could be donating your unique hair, it could be sending this podcast to a friend or family member NEEDING a wig, and/or it could be donating monetarily to the organizations mentioned.

We're always asked if redheads can get laser hair removal. Season 2, Episode 12 we talked about this very topic. But, lasers are getting more and more advanced and is there an update *four* years later?
We're calling our guest all the way across the pond -- in London, UK. Matthew Rundle is our guest today. He owns Mayfair Aesthetics Laser and Skin Clinic with four (4) locations in London. Mayfair has won twelve (12) awards and helped over 10,000 clients achieve smooth, hair-free skin. Besides laser hair removal, Mayfair also offers a range of skin treatments including facials, peels, and semi-permanent makeup.
We ask him the following questions:
What is laser hair removal and will it work for redheads?What is the difference between electrolysis and laser hair removal?What is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and who does it work for? Your clinic also offers semi-permanent makeup. What is this procedure like? Could a redhead benefit from this?Redheads usually have sensitive skin. Before a redhead goes in for a facial or a peel, what should they know first? Are there certain treatments that they should avoid?There are so many products on the market that claim to remove hair painlessly. Thereâs Bleam (the crystal hair eraser), epilators, creams, at-home IPL devices, etc. As consumers, how can we evaluate whether a product will work for us or not?Your clinics are on the cutting edge of hair removal technology (which keep getting better!). What new treatments/tools do you see on the horizon?Article links mentioned in the podcast episode:

Early in Season 5 (Episode 2), we talked with a redhead matchmaker and dating coach. We received so many DMs, comments, and emails about the episode. It was also great to hear your dating stories too!
We wanted to bring back the topic and this time we're talking to Anna Leonore. She is a redhead, Registered Nurse, and a TikTok Dating/Relationship Coach (so cool). Her relationship coaching is centered on trauma identification and healing in an effort to form and maintain healthy dating and romantic relationships.
Anna holds several college degrees and certifications, and her extensive trauma education comes from her time working as an emergency and trauma nurse, as well as her specialized training in managing childhood trauma within her years spent navigating the foster care system as a foster and adoptive parent.
Anna has been a relationship coach for the last several years and enjoys sharing her knowledge in an effort to help others navigate the current landscape of the dating world.

Denise LaPalm is the founder and creator of L'Beauxtique, a line aimed to leverage aromatherapy's therapeutic essence to aid women in managing their emotional well-being. She wears many hats: a working mother, a wife, a certified professional aromatherapist, and an advocate for women managing life's emotional rollercoaster.
If you're a Summer Deluxe H2BAR Box subscriber, you are probably enjoying the full-size version of the L'Beauxtique Evening Body Serum. It's a fast-absorbing body oil infused with a calming essential oil blend to help alleviate anxiety, uplift mood, and restore balance after long demanding days.
LaPalm's journey through the corporate world made her acutely aware of the impact of stress, leading to physical, emotional, and spiritual exhaustion. This pivotal moment inspired a transformative shift in her perspective of stress, leading to the creation of L'Beauxtique. LaPalm wants to encourage women to redefine their relationship with stress and embrace their inherent strength.
We ask LaPalm why she created the L'Beauxtique Evening Body Serum and why redheads will enjoy it in their H2BAR Boxes. She also gives us tips on how to wind down and de-stress.

You might be a redhead who refuses to see the dentist because you experience more pain. Do redheads actually feel more pain at the dentist? Is it a myth? Fact? We are speaking with Dr. Ethan Erwin today. He practices cosmetic and general dentistry, AND he's a natural redhead. He owns Smile Hot Springs in his hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas.
We asked him some of the following questions:
According to a study by the National Library of Medicine, natural redheads have more anxiety about the dentist than people with dark hair due to their resistance to local anesthetics. As a redhead yourself, what was your experience like at the dentist?Are dentists being trained to expect differences in their redheaded patients?What would you say to a listener who has been avoiding the dentist for years due to anxiety? It can be really hard to tell a doctor, âI need more anesthesiaâ. They may look at you as if youâre crazy because they have never heard this fact before, or they may disregard you because they think youâre reading out another false fact from TikTok. Whatâs the best way to tell a doctor about redheads needing more anesthesia? What are some options patients can ask for that they may not know about? (Example: I didnât know Dentists could prescribe a mild sedative like Valium. Some dentists offer laser fillings without any injections)Links and Articles Mentioned:

You might have been asked, "Aren't redheads going extinct?" It's a myth we're here to bust and our guest is Dr. Mark Elgar. We're calling him from Australia where he is a professor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Melbourne. He earned his Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Cambridge in 1985 and is a member of the Australian Evolution Society. His research focuses on animal behavior and evolutionary biology, specializing in animal mating and social behavior.
As an evolutionary biologist, he is here to explain why redheads are NOT going extinct and why red hair + blue eyes is the rarest combo.
Note: This episode was taped in March when Stephanie was pregnant. You may hear Stephanie talk about being pregnant, and post-pregnancy throughout the different episodes due to pre-recording. Spoiler: Her baby was not born with red hair.
Here are some of the questions we ask him:
1.In layman's terms, what is an evolutionary biologist?
2.After reading the literature you have written about redheads, we thought this applied most to redheads, âRecessive genes can stay hidden for a long time.â So, let's address the myth of "redheads are going extinct." Are we a dying breed or not? Or, are redhead genes always going to be there?
3.There is a big debate in the redhead community. Some say itâs red hair and green eyes that are the rarest. Why are red hair and blue eyes the rarest combination?
4.Is red hair recessive in other mammals like cats and dogs or is it just humans?
5.How can we know what someone's hair color was thousands of years ago without having seen a photograph? Is that something you can figure out from digging up skeletons and testing them, or how does that work?
6.Our audience is obsessed with different shades of red hair. We usually say every shade is different, itâs almost like a unique fingerprint amongst redheads. You said in the article, âRedheads range from strawberry blonde, brownish auburn hair or flaming red tresses..â because the MCR1 gene is also a âquantitative traitâ which means that depending on which version of the mutation a person carries, there is variation in the appearance of those who carry the gene. Can you explain more?
7.Are two redheaded parents guaranteed to have a redheaded child?
