Wow... Interesting article! Redheads are beautiful. I've never seen an "ugly" redhead.

I am a natural redhead and a few of these are true! I am left handed with blue eyes though, and I have heard about not getting grey hairs a lot! This was a great arrival

I really like this because my boyfriend is a redhead and most of these portray him

My ex-boyfriend is a redhead, and most of these traits apply to him. I'll never forget his gorgeous blue eyes!

This is so opposite of me

I am ginger with blue eyes and right handed, most of these are true, thx for the article loved reading every word!

I am a natural redhead some of these apply but not all.

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..
