Left-handed Canadian Redhead!

by Shelby
(Canada)

Me and my pet rat.

Me and my pet rat.

I'm 21 and have had red hair since the day I was born. My grandfather on my father's side had red hair. My mother's family is Dutch. My father is a brunette, mother and brother are blondes.

I too used to hate my hair colour and was teased a lot. I dyed my hair a few times. Then I got out of high school and ended up growing out my original colour. I love it now, and am thrilled at the possibility that I could have adorable red-haired kids in the future!

Hey, you're just like me.

Hey -- My history is alot like yours except I'm a dude. I grew up being teased all the time and I just hid my hair. I wore hats all the time and hoodies and just avoided social situations. I remember shaving my head bald a couple times because of it. I didn't have any friends growing up because I was just really different in appearence and what I was interested in than the other kids in school. Now that I have graduated and have a career and stuff I get teased for being a redhead, but I take pride in the fact that I will always stand out as a individual because of my hair.

I love red heads

Reply by Deb at RR: Hi Shelby -- you are so pretty and your hair color is awesome ... I really like your photo (and your cute pet) and appreciate hearing your story. I'm sorry to hear you also had to endure teasing growing up but I so enjoy reading how many redheads (like you) finally embrace and love their hair and who they are as they get older.

Just a side note -- You also mentioned you are left-handed and had to chuckle because my husband is left-handed as well and always notices "other lefthanders" ! -- I guess similar to redheads noticing other redheads, left-handed people seem to notice other 'lefties' just because is more rare....can't blame them really, as I would do the same thing!

From your family history, it sounds like the red hair gene was passed through the family somehow! I love how it surprises us ...just never know who will have the red hair and yes hopefully your own children too ;) Appreciate your input!
