World Redhead Day

Fire Up The Fun!

World Redhead Day is not just about celebrating the rarity of red hair, which makes up merely 1-2% of the human population. From schoolyard bullying to historical myths, redheads have often been the target of stereotypes.
But World Redhead Day flips the script, recognizing the beauty and individuality of redheads and to challenge the prejudice they sometimes encounter. 

Redhead Myths Busted and Roasted

Redheads have long been the subject of fascination and, unfortunately, sometimes, some rather fiery misconceptions.
From rumors of redheads having fiery tempers to wild tales of them being witches, the myths are as colorful as the hair itself.
But let’s get real, the only magic redheads possess is their ability to rock their fiery locks with style and grace. 

World Redhead Day is a great occasion to set the record straight.
Red hair is caused by a genetic mutation that results in high levels of pheomelanin (a reddish pigment) and low levels of eumelanin (the dark pigment). It affects less than 2% of the world’s population, making redheads this unique bunch.
There’s no magic involved, just plain old science!

Get Red-dy to Party

If you have luscious locks the color of a ripe habanero, rock that hair with pride!
Show some love to your favorite redheads. Send them a message, a fiery meme, a shout-out on social media or simply tell them how awesome their hair is.
You could even throw a ginger-themed party with ginger ale cocktails, red velvet cake and a playlist featuring ginger artists.
Or, if you don’t have red hair and feel like getting some color yourself then why not dye your hair a vibrant shade of warm color.
If anyone questions your newfound crimson locks, just tell them Wild Calendar gave you permission. Better yet, invite them to join the fun because blondes just don’t have all the fun.

Bold, Bright and Beautiful

So, whether you’re a redhead by birth, by choice or simply a redhead at heart, let’s celebrate the beauty of red hair, break down the stereotypes and maybe even give ourselves a sugar rush in the process.
Now go out there and paint the town red! (metaphorically, of course)
May your day be as vibrant and fiery as a redhead’s magnificent mane.

Happy World Redhead Day!
