Redheads are Genetic
Families can carry redhead gene for generations without knowing it. So, it is might possible that there could be some redhead gene inside you that can surprise you for being a redhead’s parent.
Temperature Sensors
Redheads are good at detecting changes in temperature than a person having any other hair color so, we can call them Temperature sensor.
Extinction of Redhead
According to research found by Britain DNA has found that more than 40 percent of the population carries the MC1R gene that is responsible for red hair. Redheads are not going to extinct because families have MC1R gene without knowing it.
Sensitive Teeth
According to some studies, redheads have more sensitive teeth. Redheads also bruise easily than those who have any other hair color.
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe was also a redheaded. She was American actress and model. She was famous for her natural red hair.
Fall in Love with Redhead
Finally, if you look into redhead’s eye longer than 10 seconds, you will fall in love.
Redheads are always misunderstood and mistrust in the history. Previously, the people with red hair were considered to be an evil one, even nowadays many of us are having a lot of misconceptions about them.
Being a redhead is not an abnormality. Instead, it’s a blessing. If anyone of you has a redhead, then proud of it. We anticipate that you had an enjoyable journey while going through the article, and you get a lot to know about the redhead. Please let us know about your valuable feedback.

Hey courtney,
thanks, would you like to share your social profile ?

Hello, as far as redheads being more hot-headed, I definitely agree that it’s because we are teased so much as kids and eventually we just bite whoever pokes fingers at us. Kids can be very mean to kids who stand out. Both my son and daughter were born with red hair, Keegan has blue eyes and Tanya has got dark brown. Mine is also blue and although I’m almost 51, I have practically no grey hair yet. Lucky for us!

Thanks Lorelle, I appreciate your input.

I have a son with red hair and brown eyes. I could not ask for a more thoughtful, caring young man. He is very unique in that he likes what he likes and doesn’t care what anyone says about it. He’d give the shirt off his back to anyone. Once Cory is your friend he’s your friend for life! I wouldn’t trade him for anything!
wordsiseek
Nice to know about Cory 🙂
Anne
His greatness for being a great friend and giving his shirt off his back for everyone isn’t because he’s a redhead, it’s because he was raised right by caring parents! 🙂
Yes, I’m a redhead too ^_^
Jake

This isn’t true,here a scientist gives a very detailed genetic explanation on a science page for young people,to the question a young woman asked,Why Is Red Hair And Brown Eyes so Uncommon.

Yes, red hair with brown eyes combination is uncommon but when we compare it with red hair & blue eyes combination, it is more common.
Terry Kraft
Ginger with blue eyes. Hated it growing up. I think male gingers get a bad rap for being odd looking, but I’ve grown into a unique looking ginger that turns heads wherever I go. Proud now.
Rafaela

I am a redhead. I have blue eyes that change to green sometimes. Im.. Uhm well lets just say I’m weird xD
Liam
I’m a red head and I can say we are spawns of Satan. One day we shall all come and devour your soul.
Paisley
Wow, I heard redheads were rarer, being one myself, but I had no idea that my blue eyes were also thrown in the category of rare.
Sandra Freed
You actually have the same chance as any other person, but since red hair and blue eyes are both rare, chances to be born with both are low, I’m red hair and hazel BTW.
Ella Pazare
Ohh I have red hair and green eyes❤????
Sandra Freed
I have red hair, and this article has both right and wrong information (at least the wrong things are not true for me). The real reason Blue is rare with redheads is because it is a rare color in general, and when combined with the rarity of red hair, it is one of the least common combinations. Even if the second “fact” is true, don’t just call us mutants, we get offended. The one about redheads being left handed is FALSE, your strong hand is the hand you learned to use most, I’m right handed, and in fact lost my left hand.
I am more sensitive to the cold than my sister, who is blonde. This might not be true for all reds, but I do consider myself to be a hot-head. About being easy to find, it all depends on the size of the crowd and ratio of redheads to others.
AND WHO THE HECK THOUGHT WE WERE VAMPIRES?!
Jamie
The left handed part MAY be wrong but with my child once she started to reach for stuff and started to use her hands for holding stuff or even when she began to color, she done it ALL with her left hand. It came natural to her.
The Ginger Philes
These are all true. Especially the last one.
Presley
I am a redhead with frosty blue eyes and i could never not be happy
Kj
I’m right handed is that rare
April
Redheads have more allergies than any other hair color.
Ginger
No, they don’t. Someone lied to you because we do NOT have more allergies. We are less prone to most sickness though. It takes a lot for us to get sick.
Alec Hengstman
Hi, i have red hair and brown eyes. For people who cant stand it if someone calls you ginger, i have a tip: make a contest about who had the most original joke about redheads. It is just very funny what you here sometimes. There is this bully who is on the top of the list without knowing it. Its just funny, try it out. Also, am i the only one who sweats and gets a red face although i am not embarresed at all? Btw, good facts
Ginger
Dude, I’m a natural Ginger… MY NAME IS ACTUALLY GINGER!
Robert Rudd
Hey there,
I am a redhead with green eyes and I feel shut out of the world due to my gingerness and always have. It’s nice to see that people like me care and respect being unique. I mean really why is it that when I date a red haired girl everyone assumes she is my sister, it’s wrong and I want to stop this bias behavior the world has toward us. Thank you.
Abi McCartney
Wow, what a great article. I have long ginger hair, freckles, blue eyes and I’m left handed. I have very sensitive skin and teeth! My sense of humour and the amount that I laugh is often commented on. I love being around people and embrace the light hearted ridicule that I receive on a daily basis for being so different. I’m not hot headed, more laid back if anything. However I’m very passionate, loving and caring. I was very fourtunate not to be picked on at school, I guess I was a cool kid and got on with everyone (I’m 30 by the way). I wouldn’t suggest I am proud to be a red head, just grateful to be loved for being me.
Malachai Smith
I’m a redheaded teen guy and I am not just a red-head ginger. I am on the full-on-fire-headed level and I have often been made fun of for it. To find that I am not the only one and that we can actually be appreciated is a huge blessing. Too often, I have been mocked and insulted in my hallways at school. So, to know that they are being stupid is awesome. My heart and my soul are so happy to find this community of red-heads.
Little_wolf
Hey. I’m a redheaded teen girl. You wanna write sometime? I would like to get to know you… Never forget: you are special, don’t let anyone tell you something else.
Rachel
I am also a natural redhead. My eyes are difficult to define. They have an outer ring of brown with an inner circle of green. They change slightly to more green or more brown depending on what I am wearing. Many people also have said that they see blue in my eyes. I have four children and I am sad that not one of them is a redhead. I enjoyed reading the facts in this article.
Alec Hengstman
I am being teased a lot in high school and sometimes I’m like: please go and find a life. But what I often do to make it less bad, I am always saying to myself: “they are just jealous because I have some colour and they don’t have”. What also helps is keeping track of the most original phrase or word someone has ever said to me. When people just say “ginger spot!”, I always say back: “Wow, you spotted a ginger, tell the news! Write it in the newspaper, shout from the top of your house! Oh, wait you don’t have a house, I’m sorry. “
By the way, good article and really relatable. I also have red hair with brown eyes.
Kerryeann Davis
I am a black girl that’s not mixed and I have naturally red hair and freckles. I don’t really see too many black people with naturally red hair. I have 3 siblings, none of them or my mom has red hair. I don’t know my dad so I can’t tell about him. I have 4 kids, my hair is reddish brownish and it brightens in the summer and goes a darker red in the winter. My freckles are dark brown and my skin complexion is light brown. I just wondered, are there more in this world like me?
C. B.
Me and my identical twin sister both have red hair and blue eyes but our eyes are dark blue. We have very long hair. We wished our eyes were sky blue. We have friends at our school who are nonuplets and they have red hair and sky blue eyes.
Milla Chapman
Hi! I am a natural redhead with brown eyes, and I’m actually mixed. My mom is African American, and my dad was Filipino, so imagine their surprise when they got a white kid lol. Anyways, this article is very interesting. And I’m always trying to educate myself on my unique hair color. So thank you!!
David
red hair with blue eyes, going grey at 46 and high tolerance of pain
Michael E Stevens
Regarding resistance to pain killers – on two occasions, I have been admitted to hospital with traumatic injuries – both times I was injected with morphine – it did not work at all and made things worse because it made my perception of time stretch and the pain longer lasting. The doctors said it was because there was something wrong with my central nervous system – no it was because of my red hair.
I think that red/green color blindness is common with red-haired men. When I was a kid in school, it was interpreted as stupidity. It is a very big advantage if you go hunting, very big, natural camouflage is no defense for the beast being hunted.
And those Vikings were good old boys.
Elizabeth
I’m a redhead too, but as I got older the red faded to honey color and now it’s getting white. I still miss my red hair though. I have a red headed daughter, but none of her 6 kids have red hair. I also had three red headed aunts, different shades of red. So, who knows who will get the red gene next? I was teased a bit, but when I became an adult, I had women ask me what color I used on my hair. I was always proud to tell them, “it’s natural”. I have blue eyes and my daughter has green eyes.
Ashley
I always see other redheads with a black or a Muslim… I want to see more redheads. I’m a redhead. I have blue eyes.
Jamie
One of my daughters has red hair and lighter blue eyes. The other has dark brown and hazel eyes.
My husband and I have brown hair but his has a little red in it and he has dark brown eyes. My eyes are blue. Both sides of our family has redheads.
It is just so amazing how we made two beautiful and so very different children.
Also I do believe redheads ARE hot headed. My child is a prime example of it and so was my grandmother and my brother (which only has a red beard, lol).
Grace Thoune
Hi, both my daughter and I are redheads. I have brown eyes and she has the most amazing blue eyes. We both have tempers and butt heads often. But the world would not be the same without us, all redheads.
Samuel
From this article I have found out that I am really rare, I have blue eyes and a redhead and I am left-handed. Thanks for the info.
Zizi
I have blond hair.
Rain Wilber
I find most of these facts about redheads to be accurate.
Although I am very sensitive to pain (something I’ve always known by observation), I was able to overcome this when I concentrated and could stand in the 16-degree snow without shoes on for a minute or two.
People who dislike redheads are most jealous and will do mean things like calling them “ginger” in a derogatory way, but remember that it is only because of jealousy that they do such things. There is no need to be jealous though because redheads are often treated horribly because they look different and are kind.
Logan London
I am a red-head too and so is my fellow brother. We have red hair and blue eyes.
Shannon Stewart
I love reading this article, I’m a natural redhead with brown eyes. The fact that cracks me up the most is that we are vampires. I never heard the one about Hitler, wow that’s crazy! I love being a redhead! Thanks for this article.
Teresa
Marilyn Monroe was never a redhead. She was born a brunette.
Katie Owen
This article is nice but it didn’t convince me that my red hair is special. I’m still weird and it’s not just my red hair that makes me weird. I have two different colored eyes which are blue and brown so that’s pretty creepy. Also, I have Autism which means I do things I don’t mean to do. And you are right, Kids are horrible to me. One kid wrote “Satans Child” on my bag! I really don’t like having red hair and if what you say is correct, then I’m a mutant? I mean if that’s not weird then I don’t know what is!
