I am a redhead. In the past twenty years of my life, my hair has been commented on more than any physical feature on my body. To be fair, it does draw a lot of attention and I'm definitely not ashamed by any means. I take pride in my hair color and honestly cannot imagine myself with any other color (mainly because my dad refuses to let me dye it). While I adore my hair, there are some...interesting things that go along with our population.

Only having about three people to dress up for Halloween

Mom, it's fine. I can go as Ron Weasley for the sixteenth time; no one cares.

People constantly ask where you got your hair done

Um...genetics?

"Do you have a soul?"

and if we don't...I guess you'll find out.

When you go to the beach and don't get sunburnt

This is also applied to not getting sunburnt in the winter.

Accepting that you will never be able to date Ed Sheeran because everyone would think you are brother and sister

I still love you Ed.

You had endless amount of nicknames

"Hey, can I call you Red, Gingey, Ginger, Redhead, Gingersnaps, etc.?"

Realizing there is a Ginger Pride Walk

MY PEOPLE!

Every old person you meet compliments you on your hair

Aw shucks, you're too kind. (Please tell me more)

Your friends always want to connect your freckles

Please get your pen off my beautiful pale skin.

Being extremely proud that you are only 2% of the world's population

Don't be afraid to show the best part of yourself!

So here's to my fellow gingers! May we all unite and stand proud of our beautiful hair.
