This is cool!! My childhood red hair and my adult grey hair explained:)
Red hair first appeared as the result of a genetic mutation with the first documented case of natural-born redhead occurring in Scotland.
* Less than 2% of the world's population have red hair.
* Scotland boasts the highest percentage of natural redheads while Ireland comes in second.
* Natural redheads are rare,the gene is recessive,meaning both parents must each be carrying the recessive gene for their child to have red hair.
* Natural red hair is less likely to go gray.
* A redhead’s ability to produce a pheomelanin also allows them to have a higher resistance to pain.
So for all those natural redheads...you are extremely rare!
Who else loves red hair?
