Seeing Red today

So I've always wanted red hair, just like Ariel in the little mermaid. She was so pretty, for a while I was mad at my mom when I was little for not naming me Ariel. Now I've come to terms with my generic name, but I've always thought she was so pretty. I tried for red hair once, and while it was fun, it definitely wasn't for me.

• Approximately 1-2% of humans, or about two in 100 people in the world, have red hair
• Ancient Greeks thought redheads turned into vampires when they died (if this means I can live with edward cullin sign me up!)
• Red hair doesn’t gray as much as other hair colors. Red hair initially tends to turn blond and then white
• According to Hamburg sex researcher Dr. Werner Habermehl, women with red hair have more sex than women with other hair colors. He also postulates that women in a relationship who dye their hair red may be signaling that they are unhappy and looking for something better
• Red hair is a recessive trait, which means that a child must inherit one red hair gene from each parent. Recessive traits often come in pairs, and redheads are more likely than other people to be left handed
• In ancient Rome, redheaded slaves were often more expensive than those with other hair color
• While Scotland has the highest proportion (13%) of redheads (followed by Ireland with 10%), the United States has the largest population of redheads in the world, with between 6-18 million redheads, or 2-6% of the population
• “Gingerphobia” is a fear of redheads. “Gingerism” is the bullying or prejudice of redheads
