Gerard Way Dyes Hair Bright Red

Gerard Way Dyes Hair Bright Red

Gerard Way (born April 9, 1977), is the frontman for My Chemical Romance.

The 34 year old shocked fans when earlier in the year he dyed his hair the brightest shade of red he could find.

My Chemical Romance frontman loves his bright red locks.  His goal for going with an extreme vibrant red?

He told NME.com he “didn’t want to conform to thirty-something rock culture.”

He added that going cartoon-red was his way of going back in time. “I wanted to get back to where I was as a kid in high school and art school, when I was discovering things and rebelling against things,” he said. “[And I thought] we won’t get put on certain magazine covers because now we don’t confirm to a certain idea of ‘handsomeness.’”

With his vibrant red locks there is little doubt that Gerard Way will ever be considered a conformist to thirty-something rock cultures.  Kudos to Gerard for his hair hue change.
