Being a ginger is not easy. The countless jokes and remarks, the sunburns, the awkward coloring... The list is endless, but hey, we do only make up one percent of the population. We are a rare breed and people need to appreciate us. So here are some secrets into the life of a ginger.
1. You burn like no other.
Get ready to live the lobster life and have your skin match your hair.
2. Forever hearing the ginger jokes.
Apparently we do have souls. Sorry to break that to everyone.
3. Make-up is a must.
Or else you look albino.
4. The sun is your enemy.
Just looking at the sun will burn up our skin like no other. Unfortunately, being tan is not in our future.
5. You're going extinct.
Get ready to meet another ginger and make some ginger babies.
6. You're not allowed to dye your hair.
Our hair apparently is "too rare" and people will ridicule you if you try to dye it. Trust me, I experienced this first hand.
7. People always ask if they can have your hair.
Yeah, sure, go right ahead.
8. You're loaded with freckles.
They're on your knees, elbows, face... You name it and there will be freckles there.
9. Ginger babies are the best.
True fact.
10. You have pale skin.
Sadly, you just have to accept this reality and all others that come along with having red hair.
