Why Love Your Red Hair Day?
We all know that seeing people with natural red hair is rare and Since only 2% of the general population, they tend to feel odd among the natural blondes, brunettes, and black hair.
Two sisters, Stephanie and Adrienne Vendetti themselves being red-haired came across hateful days such as “kick a ginger day” where the term “ginger” is used to describe red-haired people derogatorily. In 2015, the two sisters created a website named “How To Be a Redhead to overcome the negativity and fill people with and without red hair to spread positive vibes. This idea eventually resulted in a love for your red hair day.
Getting red hair is genetic than anything else. This day is celebrated with greater vigor to educate people about the stereotypes that lasted from various historical folklores about red-haired people being witches who stole the fire of hell or unclean nymphomaniacs, which are not true.
So this is the day to love your red hair or support people with red hair for who they are, as God created them to be!
