Calling all redheads! Are people pointing out the fact you have red hair? Are you always answering the same questions over and over? Well, don’t worry! You are not alone! I am asked at least one of the following questions a day and I have talked to other redheads and they say the same thing. To be honest, sometimes I like to use my hair as an icebreaker. I mean, come on, we are automatic conversation starters but sometimes these questions do get annoying. So, to all the redheads reading this article, just show the next person who asks you any one of the 10 things redheads are sick of hearing and hopefully everything will be cleared right up.
1. Is your hair color real?
Yes, my hair is real. No, I do not die it this color. I always get older people coming up to me in the supermarket or coffee shops and ask if my hair is real and then they tell me “a million girls would kill for your hair color.” I’m not trying to brag but if I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that one, I’d be a millionaire.
2. Does the word “ginger” insult you?
The word ginger derives from South Park, as we all know. This particular word doesn’t insult me what so ever but there are certain words that if you say them to me, you better believe you’ll get punched.
3. Where did your red hair come from?
IDK! It just kind of showed up. What do you mean where did it come from?
4. Do you celebrate “kick a ginger day”?
If you kick me, I will kick you. Enough said.
5. Do you tan?
I would say I tan but when I stand next to my Puerto Rican roommate, I would definitely say I don’t tan.
6. Do you have a soul?
Yup.
7. Can you wear red?
This is not a myth. There are definitely certain colors people with red hair should not wear. Redheads should try to stay away from reds, yellows and oranges. Stay away from green as well. You will look like a leprechaun (mint green is okay though).
8. Would you date another redhead?
I am not attracted to redheaded boys and no I do not want to live happily ever after with ginger babies. I will only make an exception for Prince Harry. I mean who doesn’t love a well dressed prince.
9. OMG you should be Ariel from the little mermaid for Halloween!
Been there. Done that.
10. You know you guys are going extinct right?
Hopefully someone will save our kind. Otherwise, feel free tell your grandkids gingers roamed the Earth when you were younger.
