I had a girl friend in elementary and high school that had beautiful red hair, pale white skin with freckles and green eyes. She was a beauty, but also hated her hair. I'll bet yours was just as beautiful.
To me, that is nothing at all to be teased about.
It is rare and I did see that segment with Bill Geist. It was great to see all of those red heads together..........
My girlfriend's grandparents were both born in Russia; her parents were born in the U.S., as was she........but I also had a brother in law of German descent who was a natural red head. Neither of his sons ended up with red hair. One had dark brown hair and the other blonde hair.
Go figure.
So, in my book, red hair is rare..........they are the only two I can think of.
You didn't really dye your red hair, did you????
