    I've some ginger in my multicoloured beard. Surely that must count for something?

    The ginger beard is the finest of beards, you are welcome in our ranks!

    Brunette here but I am laughing at this post. My husband's a ginger <3

    Major pet peeve of mine also, women with dyed red hair who are all "lookit me I'm a REDHEAD!!!" No you aren't. You have colored red hair which is fine but nope, it's not the same thing at all.


    THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am a ginger 5000, and was truly hoping my daughter would be one too but alas, her hair is more like her dad's! Feel free to add me. Us gingers really do need to stick together :bigsmile:

    100% Ginge :)

    Redheads unlike any other hair-colour seem to either be totally loved or totally despised through history. In some cases, adored for carrying the 'royal' genes, in other cases hounded as witches, if your interested in a brief history I would recommend the Little Book of Red Hair.

    My dad was a ginger, my son is a ginger (day-walker, actually). I had strawberry blonde hair as a kid and I carry the gene, too.

    Am I in?

    Hi! Used to be blonde, hair is slowly becoming redder in my old age. Feel free to add me :)

    (I'm not a 'true' ginger I'm afraid - although my hair is naturally reddish, I lack the ginger eyebrows & freckles that characterise so many of us. Green eyes though? ...do I gain acceptance?! haha).

    Ooooooh, me! Me! I'm a ginger! Complete with super pasty, easily-burned skin, green eyes, and (when I've been in the sun, or looked at the sun, or thought about the sun) freckles...

    These days I wash it in a goop I make myself out of powdered indigo plant, which should make it dark brown or black, but on me it just turns darker red...

    Lol. Not a post I expected to see lol. I think the pasty skinned people have special needs in the fitness world! We can't tan and show off our muscles as much. The reflecting sun minimized the definition of our fabulous physiques. :P Plus we need to eat more anti oxidants to combat sun damage.

    I pretty much have ginger skin. I spend the summer with my left arm perpetually sunburned from my car window.

    I am as ginger as ginger can be! We really do need to stick together because they say we are going extinct.

    We all need to start linking up more, and saving redheads for generations to come!

    Feel free to add me I am always in for more redheads, or fans of redheads. :smile:

    Lolol. I'd've got it too... Plus even though I live in rural California these days, I'm from Colorado, so it's more or less mandatory that I watch that show. :laugh:

    And speaking of non-gingery relatives, I'm the only one this generation that got it. One parent of swarthy eastern european ancestry, one of mostly irish ancestry, but the last ginger in my line before me was my grandad...

    ME :) I use to hate my red hair because I got picked on a lot for it. My mom swore if she ever had a redheaded baby, she'd dye it's hair...that's how much she loved redheads! She ended up with two of us!

    Now that I'm older and know that we are a rare population (somewhere around 2% of the world's population), I embrace my red hair and blue eyes! I'm rare and proud of it!! :wink:
