Being a redhead is wonderful. You’re part of a group of people that make up only one percent of the world’s population. Being a redhead means you get to live life in the spotlight, much like a celebrity, except not really. Being a redhead means getting stopped multiple times a day by strangers. They have all sorts of questions about redheads and how they are different than other people. Here are a few of the common things redheads hear:
1. "Is your hair natural?"
Yes, it is! But isn’t that a rude thing to ask? If you walk up to a blonde and ask if her hair is naturally that color or if she dyed it that color she might get offended. And let’s be honest, it’s easy to tell a natural redhead from a dyed redhead. Just be courteous.
2. "Let me tell you about everyone I know who has red hair."
Honestly people, knowing a redhead is a special thing but other redheads don’t care about the color of your wife's ex husband's cousin’s hair.
3. "Can I touch your hair?"
It feels the same as your hair. Also, I don’t know you.
4. "Never dye your hair!"
Who do people think they are, telling people they don’t know that they can’t dye their hair? But it’s so beautiful! Yes, we know.
5. "Look, it’s your sister!"
Every time there is another redhead near, my friends feel the need to point and say “Hey, it’s your sister/brother!”
6. "My hair used to be that color."
Sometimes older people tell me that they used to have the same color hair as me. It makes me sad, I couldn’t imagine losing my red hair.
7. "You have the most beautiful hair I’ve ever seen."
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
8. "Put on sunscreen!"
I cannot stand when people tell me to put on sunscreen. I hate it even more the next day when I’m sunburned because I didn’t put on sunscreen.
9. "Is it true that you don’t have a soul?"
Is this a question or an insult? I haven't come up with a good come back to this one yet so feel free to share.
10. "I would die to have your color hair."
Really, you would die? I’m not even sure I would die for my own hair color.
