Redheads are still a minority in our country. But what is true about girls with red hair?
By many theories, red hair comes from Celtic tribes in Britain † The Celts were known as great warriors, so redheads are seen as temperamental types.
Yet redheads were not loved † they were thought to bring bad luck and were burned to banish the red hair color. Redheads are not only scarce in the Netherlands; only 1% of the total world population is redhead.
It is scientifically proven that people with red hair experience more pain and therefore need more anesthesia for surgery. Researchers at the University of Louisville have found that natural redheads on average 20 percent more anesthesia than people with brown, black, or blond hair to manage pain.
Do you have red hair? No worries. Red hair also has its benefits. People with naturally red hair have thicker hair than black haired, brunettes and blondes. Also, redheads are said to be more sexually active to be. And did you know that running your hands through red hair seems to bring good luck?
