what does red hair mean?

Do you have red hair like this girl?

There is huge difference between how red hair is viewed in the Western world and in Chinese medicine.

In western cultures, red hair has a tradition of being associated with temper. And so, “fiery” is a term interchangeable with anger.

Not so with Chinese medicine.

The colour red is associated with the emotion of joy.

And so in Chinese face reading this hair is indicative of someone who has an exuberant personality, who may be quick with a laugh or a joke. Or alternatively maybe someone who is very shy, as they wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Now what’s interesting is that it doesn’t matter if you were a born red head.

If you ever find yourself reaching for the red hair dye, maybe take a chance to notice if you’re craving more joy or fun in your life. What I like about knowing the 5 elements is that you can track what your system is craving unconsciously, and then make the changes to do it.

For example if noticed I was craving red hair or being drawn to bright colours, I might arrange for a fun trip out, arrange a romantic date, or book an activity spontaneously since I know that means I’m craving fire element, which means I’m craving fun, delight and joy.

Anyway, let me know what you think!
