Here are ten interesting things you may not know about gingers:
- Redheads produce more Vitamin D than others.
6. Red hair tends to be thicker than others. That's because redheads actually tend to have LESS strands than other colors, but those individual strands are thicker, adding overall volume.
7. Redheads are more sensitive to hot and cold. Basically, scientists say that the temperature-detecting gene is over-activated in gingers, making heat & cold more intense for them.
8. Redheads tend to have a higher pain tolerance than people with other hair colors. The same gene that makes redheads more sensitive to heat & cold also makes them less sensitive to pain.
9. Natural redheads are basically unicorns - they make up less than TWO percent of the world's population!
10. Fun fact #10 goes without saying: Redheads are awesome!
