Did you know that 13% of redheads are located in Scotland? Of course, the second largest group of redheads are located in Ireland, which is probably not all that surprising to you. However, it might surprise you that only 2% of the entire population has red hair.
2. People with Red Hair Are Likely More Sensitive to Pain

This gene that creates red hair is the same gene that is linked to pain receptors. That's why redheads "usually need more anesthesia for dental and medical procedures."
3. Redheads Tend to Be Left Handed
"Both characteristics come from recessive genes, which like to come in pairs." That's why, if you're redheaded, you're probably going to be left-handed, as well. You're completely unique!
4. Redheads Probably Won't Go Grey
Here's some good news! Redheads usually don't end up going grey, like other hair colors do. Their pigment simply fades, which means their hair could eventually turn blonde, but it shouldn't turn grey.
5. Rumor Says Hitler Banned Marriage between Redheads
Allegedly, Hitler thought that two redheads would create "deviant offspring" if they had children. Of course, Hitler had a lot of other horrible theories, as well.

TinkerbellMoi: Cool article but to be honest, not all redheads are considered to be beautiful, it's a true fact from the majority. There are few redheads that are beautiful and I mean that for both genders. Although the vast majority prefer people with brown or blonde hair..
