Ep 8: Green Beauty with Guest Katey Denno Nov 09, 2018

Show notes

On this week’s episode of the How to be a Redhead podcast, we’re talking all about green beauty.

When How to be a Redhead launched in 2011, we focused on discussions about ‘Redhead Friendly’ approved products; 99.9% of the time green beauty items are ‘Redhead Friendly’ because they’re clean, free of heavy chemicals and as natural as can be.

That’s why we always recommend green beauty for redheads, and why Katey Denno is our guest in this week’s episode. Not only is she a redhead, but she is known as the go-to green beauty celebrity artist. Her passion for makeup was awakened during her 10+ year career in social work in DC and The Bronx, by her male-to-female transgender clients. While focusing on the external, she was able to help them feel good within, which she still believes, is the root of looking great. Denno’s redhead celebrity roster include Connie Britton, Isla Fisher, the queen of redheads herself: Julianne Moore, and more!

Ep 7: Redhead Men and Redheads 'By Choice' Nov 02, 2018

Show notes

On this week’s episode of the How to be a Redhead podcast, we’re talking all about redhead men and redheads ‘by choice’. Popular questions amongst How to be a Redhead followers are:

1. “I am a natural redhead man. Any tips for me?”

2. “I am a redhead ‘by choice’. I wasn’t born a redhead, but I know it’s the right color for me. What products are best for my hair? Any other tips for me?”

So, we wanted to dedicate an entire episode about these two topics.

We brought in two “experts” in these fields: siblings, Lydia and Josh Hodges who grew up in a redhead family. Josh is a natural redhead and Lydia has dyed her hair red for over 5 years and feels most confident being a redhead ‘by choice’.

Luckily, Josh is Adrienne’s husband and Lydia is her sister-in-law.

Lydia dishes on her favorite red hair dye, L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference, 6R Light Auburn (Warmer). She only leaves it on for 30 minutes and dyes it every 3 weeks. She also talks about how she gained so much confidence because of her red hair.

Josh talks about growing up as a natural redhead and vivid memories from his childhood; including redhead bullying and how he made it stop.

And, Josh also talks about how he isn’t afraid to use beauty products. One of his favorite items is PCA Skin’s Sensitive Skin Retinol and lots of sunscreen.

Ep 6: How To Raise Confident Redhead Children Oct 26, 2018

Show notes

Episode 6 is all about redhead confidence when you’re raising redhead kids. Adrienne and Stephanie chose a guest who gave them confidence: their mom!

Her name is Jan Vendetti. She is a natural blonde from California. The girls were raised in New England in a predominately Italian neighborhood. Jan really helped Adrienne and Stephanie embrace who we were.

Adrienne and Stephanie were inspired to start HowtobeaRedhead.com because their mom truly helped them learn HOW to be a redhead (wink, wink).
