A growing body of research shows that people with red hair need greater doses of anesthesia and are often resistant to local pain blockers like Novocaine.
#Ginger black baby skin
However, not enough thick skin to make you less sensitive to anesthesia. Growing up as a ginger child will give you thicker skin. Redheads need larger doses of anesthesia. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been told to be the Disney character, Brave, for Halloween.ĥ. The thickness of the red hair on my head is equivalent to a horse’s mane. To me, this either cannot be true, or I’m an exception to the rule. Apparently on average we have 90,000 strands while blondes have 110,000, and brunettes have 140,000. Redheads have less hair on their heads.Īccording to the Huffington Post, each strand of red hair is generally thicker than those other shades which compensates for the fact that redheads have less hair. I’ve come to accept the bruises I find on my body weekly having absolutely no clue how they got there.Ĥ. I bruise from tapping my knee off my bedpost or shutting a door with my elbow. For me, a surgical procedure doesn’t even need to be in question. When it comes to bruising, doctors have reported on many occasions that their red-haired patients are more likely to bruise after a surgical procedure. Redheads are scientifically proven to carry the MC1R gene as previously mentioned, which causes extreme sensitivity. People always accuse me of being a big baby if I fall or get hurt. Redheads are more sensitive to pain, and most likely bruise easier than those of different hair colors. As a result, families that have no redheads for decades can suddenly discover a carrot top in their offspring.ģ. According to, this means that if both parents carry the gene, just one in four of their children are likely to be a redhead. Since MC1R is recessive, an individual needs two copies of that gene for it to be expressed. This mutation is responsible for ginger hair color- of course in numerous shades- the pale skin and freckles everywhere.
This is true! The recessive gene that is responsible for red hair entitled MC1R is considered a genetic mutation. Red hair and blue eyes is the rarest combination in the world.
According to National Geographic, while the redhead population may decline, the gene for red hair will not likely become extinct.Ģ.
The notion that redheads could become extinct within the next 100 years is a myth. I’ve been told countless times by people that I should seriously consider marrying another “ginger” so I can increase my chances of having redheaded children, so you know, we won’t die out. Yes, that’s a small number, but it represents a very proud population. It’s estimated that we make up less than 2% of the world’s population as individuals with natural red hair. In honor of this nationally recognized day, this editorial will cross the fine line between redheaded myth and fact written from my perspective of personal experiences as a natural-born redhead.Īpparently, if you blink, you will miss us. 5, the nation celebrates “Love Your Red Hair Day.” The purpose of this holiday is to empower redheads everywhere reminding them to appreciate their unique qualities. Red hair is more than just a color- it’s a lifestyle.
