many years ago I went out with a girl who was a true ginger as was her mother except that her pubic hair was silver blonde
It was the cause of the relationship ending.
It does happen (they go white) but usually at a much later age than blondies or brunettes and what's more is that ginger's rarely EVER go bald.
My nephew's a ginger and is going bald - and he's only 26.
Melanin is what makes our hair colour, there is more melanin in ginger hair which gives it that vibrant colour. When we lose melanin we go grey so therefore gingers go grey much later.
Sorry to sound all 'QI Stephen Fry Smug 'n' Pompous' but there's no such thing as 'grey hair'. Hair either has it's original colour or becomes white.
Therefore, as hair starts to become white it mixes with the natural colour and 'looks' grey. Eventually, the hair will become totally white if enough of the natural colour is lost.
What is the witch hunt for ginger people on nsc about?
I would love to screw a red haired bird one day.
