    Redheads & the Sun: Reddit Stories on Sensitivity, SPF & Sun Survival

    In this episode of the How to be a Redhead Podcast, we’re diving into a topic every redhead knows too well: the sun. From that instant sting when stepping outside, to burning faster than everyone else, to navigating SPF and shade like it's a sport — redheads experience the sun differently. We explore real Reddit stories, talk about the science behind redhead skin sensitivity, and share practical strategies for staying sun-safe while still enjoying life outdoors. Whether you’re a copper, ginger, strawberry blonde, or auburn beauty — this episode reminds you that protecting your skin is powerful, not limiting. This is our final episode of 2025 — we're taking a short seasonal break and will be back in early 2026 with even more redhead conversations, community stories, and surprises. Thank you for listening, supporting, and being part of the redhead movement.

    Pretty for a Redhead? Reddit Stories on Stereotypes & Confidence

    In this episode of the How to be a Redhead Podcast, we’re tackling the stereotypes that redheads are tired of hearing — from being sexualized simply because of our hair, to backhanded compliments like “you’re pretty for a redhead,” to the bigger question of why redheads get so much hate in the first place. Inspired by real Reddit conversations, we share our own experiences, community stories, and the deeper psychology behind these stereotypes. Whether you’ve faced these comments yourself or just want to understand what redheads go through, this is a real and unfiltered look at how redheads are perceived — and how we can flip the narrative with confidence.
