Love Your Red Hair Day is a holiday celebrated on November 5th each year to celebrate the beauty of red hair. It was created in 2015 by Adrienne and Stephanie Vendetti, the co-founders of How to be a Redhead, a brand that provides resources and support for redheads.

The holiday was created to empower redheads to embrace their natural hair colour and to combat the negative stereotypes that are often associated with red hair. Redheads have historically been marginalised and discriminated against, and the holiday is meant to be a day for redheads to celebrate their unique beauty and culture.

There are many different ways to celebrate Love Your Red Hair Day. Some popular ideas include:

  • Posting photos of your red hair on social media using the hashtag #LoveYourRedHairDay

  • Wearing red clothing or accessories

  • Getting a haircut or style that showcases your red hair

  • Visiting a salon or spa that specialises in red hair

  • Attending a redhead festival or event

  • Learning more about the history and culture of red hair

  • Donating to a charity that supports redheads

Here are some fun facts about red hair:

  • Red hair is the rarest natural hair colour, with only about 2% of the world's population having it.

  • Redheads are more likely to have freckles and green or blue eyes.

  • Red hair is caused by a mutation in the MC1R gene, which produces a protein that affects the production of melanin.

  • Redheads are more sensitive to pain than people with other hair colours.

  • Redheads are also more likely to be left-handed.

Love Your Red Hair Day is a great opportunity to celebrate the beauty of red hair and to show your support for the redhead community. If you have red hair, be proud of it! And if you know someone with red hair, let them know how much you appreciate their unique beauty.

Leverage this holiday to grow your business
