A ~ Z of Marvelousness: R is for Red Hair



Red Hair



  • Red hair is the rarest natural hair color in humans and the term redhead has been in use since around 1510.
  • It is believed that redheads have fiery tempers and sharp tongues...
  • Redhead Day is celebrated in the Netherlands every September. The two-day festival is a gathering of people with natural red hair. Marvelous...

    2. I’m a red head - but when people compliment my hair I say, “thanks I’ll tell my hairdresser.”

    4. That's so interesting, I can't believe there's a special day for redheads! I have read about how rare red hair is and was quite surprised. Mind you, when you see a redhead, they certainly seem to stand out in a crowd.

      Have fun with a-z.

    9. I like how the U.K. refers to red hair as ginger. Much more accurate term, I think.
