Christina Hendricks says her red hair has encouraged her to be “more playful” with fashion.
The Mad Men star – who is known for her flame-coloured locks and curvaceous figure – has confessed her vibrant hair shade influences her fashion choices and has encouraged her to opt for more “quirky” and “eccentric” styles.
She said: “I think being a red head has encouraged me to be a bit more playful with my fashion, maybe be little bit more quirky and eccentric even, so when I go out in the evening I like to play with colour and jewellery and it sort of compliments being a red head.”
The 39-year-old actress – who was recently unveiled as the face of hair colour brand Nice ‘N Easy’s ‘Shift A Shade’ campaign – added that people rarely believe she dyes her famous locks by herself.
She said: “People never believe that I do my hair colour myself at home. They say, ‘You don’t do your hair at home by yourself, do you?’, and I always reply and say ‘I honestly do!'”
The Tennessee-born star – who worked as a model in her late teens and twenties – fell in love with her red hair after Nice ‘N Easy opted to dye her blonde locks on her first shoot for the brand in the ’90s.
She told MailOnline: “The first time I did a photo shoot with Clairol Nice ‘N Easy was when I was about 19 or 20 years old, I was a model and I was blonde at the time.
“[They] took me red and I was absolutely thrilled, I loved it so much I still actually have the picture from that shoot. I went back to my agency and said I’m staying red this is it, I love it, and they let me.”
