Just a fun little post today regarding redheads, we are often misunderstood, stereotyped and thought to be something we really aren't, but we are unique and worth getting to know, and... "if you're lucky to have a redhead as part of your life then you're pretty damn lucky!!"- T.Haraga
a recent study from the University of Louisville determined that redheads really do require more anesthesia during surgery.
In medieval Europe, the infamous witch-hunting manual, Malleus Maleficarum, instructed that red hair and green eyes were marks of a witch, as were freckles.
There might actually be some truth to the myth of the lustful redhead. A recent study by a sex researcher in Hamburg, Germany found that women with red hair had sex more often. Another survey in England duplicated those findings, and reported that redheads had sex an average of three times per week, compared to twice per week for blondes and brunettes. For these studies, it didn’t matter whether the women’s hair was naturally red or dyed red. (Of course nothing is better than the real thing, just sayin')
Of all the women who color their hair, 30 percent choose to become redheads—more than the 27 percent who go brunette and the 26 percent who go blonde.
Some famous fiery redheads include Queen Elizabeth I, Galileo, Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon, and Vincent Van Gogh. More recent redheads include comedienne Lucille Ball and birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger.
