I hated my red hair when I was growing up - the teasing is awful. So, when I was a freshman in high school, I lightened my hair for the first time. By my junior year, I was a platinum blonde! I kept it that way until my sophmore year in college, more because I got sick of the upkeep and people saying that, "Eew! You have red roots!" than anything else.

And here I sit, considering a streak or two again - but only in a lighter red, and done professionally!
