ITA, Steph. I think he's rather bland with lighter hair.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The lighter-haired look worked for him in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, IMO. Then again, he was a very different sort of character in that than he is in Sherlock.

I think ginger-haired Cumberbatch needs to wear lipstick or something. His whole face seems to blend together for me that way.
Do people who eat a lot of salads shop twice a week? I am having trouble getting enough lettuce to stay good to go only on Saturdays.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I like the cherry veneer coffee table! Ours is solid cherry and amazing handiwork. Amish made custom. I'm sure it cost a fortune however umpteen years ago, but it was my parents dosh, and they gave them to us when they moved to Hawaii and didn't want to haul furniture. They are sadly abused by us because we are why we can't have nice things. But even so, they're still gorgeous.

I like Cumberbatch with the dark ginger hair I've seen on him a time or two. The strawberry blond hair he sometimes has is less appealing to me. But, yeah, the Sherlock locks? Verrrrrrry nice!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I totally prefer darker-hair Cumbermuffin. It makes him so much more striking and strange.

I can see him as a ginger, he has that particular super-pale porcelain complexion that goes with it.

Now of course, I'm thinking it would be hilarious if they did a Sherlock ep based on "The Red Headed League" and had BC go to his natural color. The meta of the other characters saying what a rubbish dye job Sherlock had would be delicious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also think Cumberbatch is better-looking the darker his hair is. But I wouldn't turn him down anyway.
My personal theory is that Sherlock is in fact ginger, which is why he never seems to have a beard, and dyes it to make people take him seriously. With skin that fair, if his hair were naturally that dark, he'd have a five-o'clock shadow by 2pm.
