Marcia Cross with Most Gorgeous Wavy Long Red Celebrity Hair Do

Dying her hair red was a good career move for Marcia Cross, the fiery redhead on Desperate Housewives.

Natural redheads often have pale skin, so her choice of red locks looks natural and convincing.

Marcia, a new mother of twins, has not only tried new color but also different textures. Whether her hair is long and wavy (above), or short and curly (see sidebar), the colorful character on the popular TV show in recent years has been 'tressed to perfection.'
