If so, a few facts about red hair first: ginger heads are naturally disappearing. In fact, red hair occurs naturally in only 1-2% of the human population, which makes it a rare find. According to Wikipedia: “Red hair varies in hue from a deep burgundy or bright copper (Auburn) to burnt orange or red-orange to and strawberry blond. Characterized by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin.”

Also, we know there are many cultural reactions to red hair – they are varied from ridicule to admiration, creating stereotypes like having a fiery temper (well, having so many ginger head relatives makes me wonder about this one particularly).
