If you’re red you’re rare! Red hair is seen on little more than one in every hundred people worldwide so we set out to find out why redheads are special.
Fun facts
On average, adults have 120,000 hairs on their head, but redheads have fewer, blondes have more and brunettes have the most. So why does red hair look so luxurious? It’s because red hair is thicker than any other.
Best advantage for redheads
Redheads can age gracefully: their hair becomes sandy-coloured and then goes white. No grey hairs for them!
