Lets talk hair. Red hair is the color that I have been cursed with. In some cultures red hair is considered lucky. In others it is the sign of the devil. One time I went on a trip, back when I had waist length hair, and a small girl and her grandmother asked if they could touch my hair for luck.

I let them touch my hair and after that we went to the market and people, random ones on the street, kept touching my hair. I could faintly feel people pulling it lightly and touching it. After that I decided to put it up in a pony tail and tuck it away. I will always remember that. After that day I did some more research about red hair.

Turns out that redhead have bad tempers.I can tell you that red hair doesn’t cause a bad temper, but my family would like to disagree on that. I like reading about red hair because as a redhead myself I can disprove some of the facts they say. Like the fact about redhead having less hair. I have the same amount if not more that my sister.

I can tell you that bees rarely come near me. Even though the color of my hair should make them want to. I want to talk about the little known fact about redhead graying. I have pure white strands in my hair. It is rare but they are there. My mom likes to look for them everyone and then. It is true that redhead gray slower, but I find gray hairs in mine all the time.

One fact states redhead are most likely to be left-handed. To me this is partially true. I write with my right hand but when I comes to shooting a gun or bow I use my left eye. Therefore I am ambidextrous. Which means I use both hands. redhead can’t tolerate spicy food. False on my part I love spicy food. I eat spicy food very little because my mom doesn’t like it so yeah.

Most people ask me if I’m adopted, I’m not. They ask this because both my parents and my sister have brown or dark brown hair. I actually have a few great-great uncles that had red hair, they are bald now, so that is where the gene comes into play. I am also often asked where I get my hair dyed. I look at them and say genes.

I actually have the rarest hair and eye color combination. I have red hair and blue eyes. My mom calls me a recessive mess. I have a lot of the recessive genes. The misconceptions against me and my hair is something I’ve dealt with a lot so I know how to handle them pretty well. I usually agree with what some people say and dissagree and then state an agrument with them.

I want to end this off by telling a sweet fact about my family. My great grandfather always wanted a redhead daughter, but my grandma was a brunette. So when I was born my grandma said that great grandpa was looking over us by me. I never got to meet him, but I feel like he is there watching over me.
