National Love Your Red Hair Day celebrates the beauty of those gorgeous red tresses annually on November 5th. There’s no reason to be shy. Redheads get the spotlight to show off the unique qualities of red hair. 

Many redheads feel like outcasts for having red hair. This celebration empowers redheads to feel confident, look amazing and rock their beauty. Red hair is more than a color; it’s a lifestyle. Besides, redheads are rare. Less than 2 percent of the population is crowned with red hair. And those that are may very well be left-handed, too. 

Some famous redheads: 

• Lucille Ball
• Queen Elizabeth I
• Ron Howard
• Vincent van Gogh
• Rupert Grint
• Carol Burnett
• Bonnie Raitt
• Wynonna Judd
• Carrot Top

Most natural-born redheads have brown eyes, followed by green or hazel. Coming in at 1% of the world’s population, the blue-eyed ginger is the rarest kind. So, be sure to celebrate your red-haired family and friends today.
