#plus black hair dye tends to have an unnatural blue tint to it

[lazy-toad]

Gerry Keay hair dye headcanon, but I don't think his hair is dyed *that* badly. Sure maybe you can see the roots if he hasn't touched it up in a few weeks, but it's not awful. I think he is simply ginger, and so painfully obviously ginger, with pale as hell eyebrows and a bunch of freckles, that everyone who has ever seen him has been like "there is no way on earth that man's hair is naturally black."
