Answer 1

I didn't realize people actually hated Gingers. I've just had more stupidity in the world revealed to me. Sad, sad day.

I like Gingers just fine.

Answer 2

If you are healthy, consider yourself lucky to be blessed with a hair color that many people pay lots of money in a hair salon for. I am a naturally curly red-head and would not have it any other way.

If someone told you your ginger hair was caused by a disease, they might had heard about a nutritional deficiency called Kwashiorkor. For some folks, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. Please read an except below on this subject.

Nutrition and hair color
It is very rare to find nutritional factors as a cause of hair color changes. Any hair color changes due to nutritional deficiencies are typically only seen in people who have genetic defects, in diseases that block metabolism, or in severely malnourished individuals of the developing world.

Prolonged protein deficiency in the diet results in Kwashiorkor. This disease involves multiple symptoms including the reduction of pigment production and incorporation into hair fiber. Normally dark brown hair becomes a rusty red. Light colored hair becomes blonde. The flag sign sometimes seen in kwashiorkor involves alternating light and dark bands of color along individual hair fibers. The flag sign is associated with intermittent protein malnutrition. Presumably normal hair color is produced when protein intake is adequate and reduced hair color occurs during times when there is a lack of protein intake.

I think red-haired people are beautiful, personally. There's nothing wrong with that in my book! I've always wanted red hair; sadly, I got stuck with mouse-colored brown! I feel you're lucky, and it's great that you're proud to be a red-head!

Answer 4

People are insecure and need to point of people differences because it makes them feel better about themselves. Kind of like how vegetarians get ridiculed. People are afriad of differences even though your hair color is absolutly normal. They see difference as disease.

Answer 5

haha. I actually think ginger haired men are pretty hot, it's the minority thing to me. :) but I guess some people aren't used to the few, the different...

Answer 6

I like ginger hair. I actually like people who have naturally pretty hair, whatever color. I really like curls that look like ribbons in space.

I LOVE it!
So not everyone hates it...
Don't worry about it too much...
SOME people are jealous of what they cannot have if they secretly like it.
It is just an odd thing.
BUT Ginger color hair is MY favorite !
