Redheads Have More Fun


I've always been fond of the color of my hair. I've never dyed it. Whenever I get my hair cut, people at the salon always ask if its my true color. It is! I'm proud of it. I don't think I'll ever dye it.



In France, to be redheaded is thought to be a fate so dire that some women have formed a “Proud to be Red” association.


Adolph Hitler reportedly banned the marriages of two redheads as he feared their children would be “deviant offspring”.



Belief that redheads are witches is a folk belief in Germanic culture.


The first redheaded British monarch was a woman. Boudicca was a Celtic warrior was led her people, the Icenti, against the Romans in the C.E. 60’s.


Redheads don't turn grey.


Red hair is a genetic mutation.

Less than four percent of the world population has naturally red hair.


"Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead." -Lucille Ball

interesting facts. But I'd like to check your sources. I heard that it was less than 2% of the populations and we don't turn grey?! Fascinating!!!

Hooray for deviant children!

Anne, I think there's less than 2% in the US.

Red heads tend to turn apricotish blonde instead of grey.
