Redheads We Love: Christina Hendricks, Rihanna And 76 More Hair Color Icons (PHOTOS)

Our 78 Favorite Redheads

When watching "Mad Men," it's hard to think of anything other than "OMG! I want Christina Hendricks' hair." Her gorgeous figure, smart wit and beautiful face wouldn't be too bad either -- but really, it's all about the hair (even though it's not her natural hue).

A few months ago, our fashion editor Christina Anderson tried out a Joan Holloway-inspired color. I couldn't believe how jealous I was. Envy hit again when Huffington Post Style associate editor Rebecca Adams joined the team. Why, you might ask? Her spectacular flaming red locks.

While I don't have the courage to go red just yet, there's no reason not to dream. If you're looking for some summer hair color inspiration, take a peek in our gallery below for 78 redheads, both natural and from the bottle.

Want more? Head over to BellaSugar to find out 10 ways to maintain red hair color and be sure to check out Stylelist on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Pinterest.
