It appears that gingers are more sensitive to certain types of pain and less sensitive to others. Gingers can enjoy being ginger for an entire lifetime! Ginger hair just fades with age through an array of colors, from faded copper to rosy blonde to silvery white.
Red hair retains its natural pigment longer than other shades, though, meaning gingers don’t need to worry as much about going grey.
The hair on your head will appear white when all of the hair follicles lose their color completely. As you grow older, the hair follicles stop producing the pigment. Redheads have very little eumelanin in their hair. The more pheomelanin in the hair, the redder it will be. The more eumelanin in the hair, the darker it will be. Recessive traits tend to come in pairs, though, and that explain why many gingers are left-handed.Įumelanin and pheomelanin are two pigments found in the hair shaft, and all hair colors have a combination of these two pigments. Left-handedness is also a recessive trait, and about ten to 12 percent of all people in the world are left-handed. Both parents must be a carrier of the MC1R gene to have a redheaded baby. Red hair comes from a recessive gene known as the melanocortin 1 receptor, better known as MC1R. To have a trait that is expressed by a recessive gene, you must get the gene from both of your parents. A recessive gene is one that can be masked by a dominant gene. What we do know about gingers being left-handed has everything to do with their recessive genes. It has been said that redheads are more likely to be left-handed than those of other hair colors, but there is only limited scientific study to prove this. Here are ten fascinating facts about gingers that you should know. Being born a ginger is no curse if anything, it’s more of a superpower. Thanks to an episode of South Park, the saying about gingers having no soul has become popularized, but there are many advantages to being a redhead. There have even been (false) rumors that redheads are going to be extinct soon.
Red is the rarest hair color in the world-only one to two percent of the world’s population is lucky enough to have been born with red hair. You might even say they are the feisty and sexy mythical creatures of this planet. Gingers are naturally born redheads and are usually pale with many freckles on their bodies.
