The gene that causes red-hair is dying out, and will be gone within sixty years unless a dramatic, ahem, breeding program is initiated.


....My haiiir. :cry:


You don't know how many times I get called 'ginger kid' a day. Grawl.

Be like me. Dye your hair so many times that you can't tell what color it is because it's all mixed up everywhere.

I spent about 9 months with just Unded-Arthus grey hair after the first time I dyed it blue.

Christopher, that's what they make hair color remover for! I had bleached my hair out to a white blond and put those really bright colored red and blue streaks in it - with the color remover the blue came right out. The red on the other hand, I had to cut my hair to get rid of.

I was born a redhead and endured years of "carrot top", "Hey you, your head's on fire", "better dead than red", and a whole lot of others. So, when I got old enough I started dying mine blond. Then in my early 30's went back to red. Only problem I have with being a redhead these days is that as I get older, the natural color's fading.

Apparently red hair doesn't go grey. It goes white instead. My hair is actually going darker. It's still red though, but I'm turning brown. you know, all my life I've wished for hair other than ginger. Now I don't want it to go. It might not go. But it might.

I heard in the news the other day that some eastern european country was considering actually banning ginger hair! I thought that was appalling! I can't remember what country it was though, but it saddened me to hear that such attitudes can exist in europe in this century!

Ginger, when I let my hair grow out and stopped coloring it for awhile, it did get darker, then slowly lightened back to a nice red. As I age, my color is fading and yes, I do have strands of white in it - not grey. My roomie (who started getting grey in her brown hair early on) and I compared and mine are definitely white.

I got my red hair from my grandfather (mother and father both had dark brown) - he somehow kept his red hair with one wide stripe? of pure white. Looked like something that was done to his hair, but was completely natural.

St Nick, a country wants to try to BAN red hair? That's insane, what are people supposed to do, cover or dye a baby's hair?

Historically there was a time when having red hair meant you were a witch and redheads were persecuted/killed for having it.

People are weird!

You don't quite get it, the blue washed out entirely after 5-7 washes (plus a sea-related beach holiday), and so all I was left with was the bleached parts making it look overall grey. I was called 'old man' Chris for a very long time.

That's the most pathetic thing I've heard all day. Banning red hair? It's just a hair colour. What harm does it do? Unless they still think that redheads have some connection to the devil. I know that redheads used to be executed because they were thought to be witches, and I know other countries in the past really thought we were 'the devil in disguise' or that we were Satanists or something.
