Hair color

Scarlet hair (as well known equally orange hair and ginger pilus) is a hair colour found in i to 2 percent of the human population, appearing with greater frequency (2 to 6 percent) among people of Northern or Northwestern European beginnings and lesser frequency in other populations. It is most common in individuals homozygous for a recessive allele on chromosome sixteen that produces an altered version of the MC1R protein.^[1]

Red pilus varies in hue from a deep burgundy or vivid copper, or auburn, to burnt orangish or crimson-orangish to strawberry blond. Characterized past high levels of the carmine pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin, it is associated with fair skin color, lighter eye color, freckles, and sensitivity to ultraviolet lite.^[2]

Cultural reactions to red hair accept varied from ridicule to admiration with many common stereotypes in existence regarding redheads. The term redhead has been in use since at to the lowest degree 1510.^[3] Other alternatives include bloodnut and carrot-top.^[4]

Slap-up Britain besides has a high percentage of people with red hair. In Scotland around 6% of the population has red hair; with the highest concentration of red head carriers in the world constitute in Edinburgh, making information technology the crimson head capital of the world.^{[7] [8]} In 1907, the largest ever study of pilus color in Scotland, which analysed over 500,000 people, establish the percentage of Scots with red hair to be 5.3%.^[9] A 1956 study of hair colour among British Army recruits also found loftier levels of red hair in Wales and in the Scottish border counties of England.^{[fn i] [10]}

Eastern and Southern Europe

In Italy, red hair is plant at a frequency of 0.57% of the total population, without variation in frequency across the different regions of the country.^[11] In Sardinia, reddish hair is establish at a frequency of 0.24% of the population.^[11] Victorian era ethnographers considered the Udmurt people of the Volga Region in Russia to be "the most ruby-red-headed men in the world".^[12] The Volga region still has one of the highest percentages of redheaded people.^[xiii]

Carmine pilus is besides constitute amid the Ashkenazi Jewish populations.^[xiv] In 1903, 5.six% of Polish Jews had reddish hair.^[fifteen] Other studies take found that three.69% of Jewish women overall were found to accept ruby hair, but around 10.nine% of all Jewish men have cherry-red beards.^[16] In European culture, earlier the 20th century, ruby-red hair was ofttimes seen as a stereotypically Jewish trait: during the Castilian Inquisition, all those with red hair were identified every bit Jewish.^[17] In Italy, red hair was associated with Italian Jews, and Judas was traditionally depicted as red-haired in Italian and Castilian art.^[18] The stereotype that red hair is Jewish remains in parts of Eastern Europe and Russia.^[xix]

North Africa and Mediterranean

The Berber populations of Morocco^[20] and northern Algeria have occasional redheads. Cerise hair frequency is peculiarly significant among the Riffians from Kingdom of morocco and Kabyles from Algeria,^{[21] [22] [23]} respectively.

Asia (all regions)

In Asia, cherry hair can be found among some peoples of Afghan,^{[24] [25]} Arab, Iranian, Mongolian, Turkic, Miao and Hmong descent.

Ancient human remains described equally having red or auburn hair accept been discovered in diverse parts of Asia including the Tarim mummies of Xinjiang, China.^[26] Several preserved samples of human hair have been obtained from an Fe Age cemetery in Khakassia, Due south Siberia. Many of the hair samples appear red in color, and one skull from the cemetery had a preserved ruby-red moustache.^[27]

In the Book of Wei, Chinese writer Wei Shou notes that Liu Yuan was over 6 feet tall and had crimson strain^{[ clarification needed ]} on his long beard.^[28]

There are other examples of ruby hair among early Turkic people. Muqan Qaghan, the 3rd Qaghan of the Turkic Khaganate, was said to take scarlet hair and blueish eyes.^[29]

In Chinese sources, aboriginal Kyrgyz people were described equally fair-skinned, green- or blueish-eyed and red-haired people with a mixture of European and Eastward Asian features.^[30]

The Kipchak people were a Turkic ethnic group from fundamental Asia who served in the Aureate Horde armed forces forces after beingness conquered by the Mongols. In the Chinese historical document 'Kang mu', the Kipchak people are described equally crimson haired and bluish eyed.^[31]

The ethnic Miao people of Red china are recorded with cherry-red pilus. According to F.Thou Savina of the Paris Foreign missionary society the appearance of the Miao was pale yellow in their skin complexion, almost white, their hair color often being low-cal or dark brown, sometimes even red or corn-silk blond, and a few of them fifty-fifty have pale bluish eyes.^[32]

A phenotype study of Hmong People show they are sometimes built-in with red hair.^[33]

Americas, Oceania and Sub-Saharan Africa

Emigration from Europe has multiplied the population of scarlet haired humans in the Americas, Australia, New Zealand and Due south Africa.^{[ citation needed ]}

Historical

Several accounts by Greek writers mention redheaded people. A fragment by the poet Xenophanes describes the Thracians as blueish-eyed and red-haired.^[35] The ancient peoples Budini and Sarmatians are besides reported by Greek author to be blue-eyed and ruddy-haired, and the latter even owe their names to it.^{[36] [37]}

In Asia, cherry-red or auburn hair has been found amid the ancient Tocharians, who occupied the Tarim Basin in what is now the northwesternmost province of China. Tarim mummies have been found with carmine hair dating to the 2d millennium BC.^[38]

Reddish-brown (auburn) hair is besides found amidst some Polynesians, and is especially common in some tribes and family groups. In Polynesian culture reddish hair has traditionally been seen as a sign of descent from loftier-ranking ancestors and a mark of rulership.^{[39] [40]}

Biochemistry and genetics

A close-up view of red hair

The paint pheomelanin gives cherry hair its distinctive colour. Red pilus has far more than of the pigment pheomelanin than it has of the night paint eumelanin.

The genetics of red hair appear to be associated with the melanocortin-one receptor (MC1R), which is establish on chromosome 16. Eighty percent of redheads have an MC1R gene variant.^[ii] Red hair is too associated with fair skin color because the MC1R mutation besides results in low concentrations of eumelanin throughout the body. The lower melanin concentration in skin confers the advantage that a sufficient concentration of important Vitamin D tin can exist produced under low light conditions. However, when UV-radiations is strong (as in regions shut to the equator) the lower concentration of melanin leads to several medical disadvantages, such as a higher chance of skin cancer. The MC1R variant gene that gives people red hair more often than not results in skin that is difficult or incommunicable to tan. Because of the natural tanning reaction to the sun's ultraviolet calorie-free and high amounts of pheomelanin in the peel, freckles are a common but non universal characteristic of cherry-red-haired people.

Red pilus can originate from several changes on the MC1R-gene. If one of these changes is present on both chromosomes then the respective individual is likely to have red hair. This type of inheritance is described as an autosomal recessive. Even if both parents do not have red hair themselves, both tin be carriers for the gene and have a redheaded child.

Genetic studies of dizygotic (fraternal) twins bespeak that the MC1R gene is not solely responsible for the carmine hair phenotype; unidentified modifier genes exist, making variance in the MC1R gene necessary, only not sufficient, for red hair product.^[42]

Genetics

The alleles Arg151Cys, Arg160Trp, Asp294His, and Arg142His on MC1R are shown to be recessives for the reddish hair phenotype.^[43] The gene HCL2 (also called RHC or RHA) on chromosome iv may likewise be related to crimson hair.^{[44] [45]} In that location are at to the lowest degree 8 genetic differences associated with carmine hair color.^{[46] [47]}

In species other than primates, red hair has unlike genetic origins and mechanisms.

Evolution

Origins

Ruddy pilus is the rarest natural pilus colour in humans. The not-tanning skin associated with ruddy hair may accept been advantageous in far-northern climates where sunlight is deficient. Studies by Bodmer and Cavalli-Sforza (1976) hypothesized that lighter pare pigmentation prevents rickets in colder climates by encouraging college levels of vitamin D product and as well allows the individual to retain heat improve than someone with darker peel.^[48] In 2000, Harding et al. concluded that cerise hair is not the result of positive choice but of a lack of negative selection. In Africa, for example, red hair is selected against because high levels of lord's day harm pale skin. However, in Northern Europe this does not happen, and then redheads can become more common through genetic drift.^[43]

Estimates on the original occurrence of the currently agile gene for red hair vary from twenty,000 to 100,000 years ago.^{[49] [50]}

A DNA written report has concluded that some Neanderthals also had red hair, although the mutation responsible for this differs from that which causes blood-red hair in modern humans.^[51]

Extinction hoax

A 2007 report in The Courier-Mail service, which cited the National Geographic magazine and unnamed "geneticists", said that red hair is probable to dice out in the near hereafter.^[52] Other blogs and news sources ran similar stories that attributed the inquiry to the magazine or the "Oxford Hair Foundation". Nonetheless, a HowStuffWorks article says that the foundation was funded by hair-dye maker Procter & Gamble, and that other experts had dismissed the inquiry every bit either lacking in evidence or merely artificial. The National Geographic article in fact states "while redheads may decline, the potential for red isn't going abroad".^[53]

Cherry pilus is caused by a relatively rare recessive allele (variant of a cistron), the expression of which can skip generations. It is not likely to disappear at whatsoever fourth dimension in the foreseeable time to come.^[53]

Medical implications of the blood-red hair gene

Melanoma

Melanin in the skin aids UV tolerance through suntanning, but fair-skinned persons lack the levels of melanin needed to forestall UV-induced Dna-damage. Studies have shown that red pilus alleles in MC1R increase freckling and decrease tanning ability.^[54] It has been found that Europeans who are heterozygous for red hair exhibit increased sensitivity to UV radiation.^[55]

Red hair and its human relationship to UV sensitivity are of involvement to many melanoma researchers. Sunshine tin can both be skilful and bad for a person's wellness and the different alleles on MC1R represent these adaptations. It also has been shown that individuals with stake peel are highly susceptible to a variety of skin cancers such as melanoma, basal prison cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.^{[56] [57]}

Pain tolerance and injury

Two studies have demonstrated that people with red hair have different sensitivity to pain to people with other hair colors. One written report plant that people with cherry hair are more sensitive to thermal pain (associated with naturally occurring depression vitamin K levels),^[58] while another study concluded that redheads are less sensitive to pain from multiple modalities, including noxious stimuli such equally electrically induced pain.^{[59] [sixty] [61]}

Researchers accept constitute that people with carmine hair require greater amounts of anesthetic.^[62] Other research publications have concluded that women with naturally cherry-red hair crave less of the painkiller pentazocine than do either women of other hair colors or men of any hair colour. A study showed women with cherry-red hair had a greater analgesic response to that particular pain medication than men.^[63] A follow-up study by the same grouping showed that men and women with red hair had a greater analgesic response to morphine-6-glucuronide.^[61] All the same, a later report of 468 healthy adult patients establish no significant difference in recovery times, pain scores or quality of recovery in those with red compared with dark hair in either men or women.^[64]

The unexpected relationship of hair colour to pain tolerance appears to exist because redheads have a mutation in a hormone receptor that tin can evidently respond to at least 2 types of hormones: the pigmentation-driving melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), and the pain-relieving endorphins. (Both derive from the aforementioned precursor molecule, POMC, and are structurally like.) Specifically, redheads accept a mutated melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene that produces an altered receptor for MSH.^[65] Melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment in skin and pilus, use the MC1R to recognize and answer to MSH from the inductive pituitary gland. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone usually stimulates melanocytes to make black eumelanin, only if the melanocytes accept a mutated receptor, they will brand ruby-red pheomelanin instead. MC1R also occurs in the brain, where it is one of a large set of POMC-related receptors that are plainly involved not only in responding to MSH, but also in responses to endorphins and possibly other POMC-derived hormones.^[65] Though the details are non conspicuously understood, it appears that there is some crosstalk between the POMC hormones; this may explain the link between red pilus and pain tolerance.

There is piffling or no evidence to support the belief that people with cherry hair have a higher adventure than people with other hair colors to hemorrhage or endure other bleeding complications.^{[66] [67]} One study, notwithstanding, reports a link betwixt red hair and a higher rate of bruising.^[67]

Red hair of pathological origin

Almost cherry hair is caused by the MC1R gene and is non-pathological. Nevertheless, in rare cases red pilus can be associated with illness or genetic disorder:

• In cases of astringent malnutrition, unremarkably dark human hair may turn red or blonde. The condition, part of a syndrome known equally kwashiorkor, is a sign of critical starvation caused chiefly past protein deficiency, and is mutual during periods of famine.
• 1 variety of albinism (Blazon 3, a.yard.a. rufous albinism), sometimes seen in Africans and inhabitants of New Republic of guinea, results in cherry hair and red-colored skin.^[68]
• Red hair is found on people lacking pro-opiomelanocortin.^{[68] [69]}

Culture

In various times and cultures, red hair has been prized, feared, and ridiculed.

Beliefs virtually temperament

A mutual belief nigh redheads is that they take fiery tempers and sharp tongues. In Anne of Light-green Gables, a grapheme says of Anne Shirley, the redheaded heroine, that "her temper matches her hair", while in The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield remarks that "People with cherry-red hair are supposed to get mad very easily, but Allie [his expressionless brother] never did, and he had very red hair."

During the early stages of modern medicine, ruby-red pilus was thought to be a sign of a sanguine temperament.^[72] In the Indian medicinal practice of Ayurveda, redheads are seen as most likely to have a Pitta temperament.

Another belief is that redheads are highly sexed; for example, Jonathan Swift satirizes redhead stereotypes in part iv of Gulliver's Travels, "A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms," when he writes that: "It is observed that the red-haired of both sexes are more than libidinous and mischievous than the residue, whom yet they much exceed in force and activity." Swift goes on to write that "neither was the pilus of this brute [a Yahoo] of a red colour (which might accept been some excuse for an appetite a little irregular) but blackness as a sloe".^[73] Such beliefs were given a veneer of scientific brownie in the 19th century past Cesare Lombroso and Guglielmo Ferrero. They concluded that red hair was associated with crimes of lust, and claimed that 48% of "criminal women" were redheads.^[74]

Media, fashion and fine art

Queen Elizabeth I of England was a redhead, and during the Elizabethan era in England, red hair was stylish for women. In mod times, red pilus is subject to style trends; celebrities such every bit Nicole Kidman, Alyson Hannigan, Marcia Cross, Christina Hendricks, Emma Stone and Geri Halliwell can boost sales of red hair dye.^{[ citation needed ]}

Sometimes, red hair darkens as people become older, becoming a more brownish colour or losing some of its vividness. This leads some to associate red hair with youthfulness, a quality that is generally considered desirable. In several countries such as India, Iran, Bangladesh and Islamic republic of pakistan, henna and saffron are used on hair to give information technology a vivid crimson advent.^[75]

Many painters have exhibited a fascination with cerise pilus. The pilus color "Titian" takes its proper noun from the artist Titian, who often painted women with cherry hair. Early on Renaissance creative person Sandro Botticelli'due south famous painting The Nascence of Venus depicts the mythological goddess Venus as a redhead. Other painters notable for their redheads include the Pre-Raphaelites, Edmund Leighton, Modigliani,^[76] and Gustav Klimt.^[77]

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle'southward Sherlock Holmes story "The Red-Headed League" (1891) involves a man who is asked to become a member of a mysterious group of red-headed people. The 1943 motion-picture show DuBarry Was a Lady featured reddish-heads Lucille Ball and Red Skelton in Technicolor.

Notable fictional characters with ruby hair includes Jean Grey, Ruby-red Sonja, Mystique, and Poisonous substance Ivy.^[78]

A volume of photographs of red haired people was published in 2020, Gingers past Kieran Dodds (2020).^[79]

Prejudice and discrimination confronting redheads

Medieval beliefs

Ruby hair was thought to be a marker of a abominable sexual desire and moral degeneration. A cruel crimson-haired man is portrayed in the legend by Grimm brothers (Der Eisenhans) as the spirit of the forest of iron. Theophilus Presbyter describes how the blood of a crimson-haired young man is necessary to create golden from copper, in a mixture with the ashes of a basilisk.^[lxxx]

Montague Summers, in his translation of the Malleus Maleficarum,^[81] notes that crimson pilus and green eyes were idea to be the sign of a witch, a werewolf or a vampire during the Middle Ages;

Those whose pilus is ruby-red, of a certain peculiar shade, are unmistakably vampires. It is pregnant that in ancient Arab republic of egypt, every bit Manetho tells us, man sacrifices were offered at the grave of Osiris, and the victims were red-haired men who were burned, their ashes being scattered far and wide by winnowing-fans. It is held by some authorities that this was done to fertilize the fields and produce a bounteous harvest, red-hair symbolizing the aureate wealth of the corn. But these men were called Typhonians, and were representatives not of Osiris just of his evil rival Typhon, whose hair was blood-red.

Medieval antisemitism

During the Spanish Inquisition, people of red pilus were identified equally Jewish and isolated for persecution.^[17] In Medieval Italy and Espana, red hair was associated with the heretical nature of Jews and their rejection of Jesus, and thus Judas Iscariot was commonly depicted equally red-haired in Italian and Spanish art.^[xviii] Writers from Shakespeare to Dickens would identify Jewish characters by giving them red hair, such as the villainous Jewish characters Shylock and Fagin.^[82] The antisemitic association persisted into modern times in Soviet Russia.^[19] The medieval prejudice against scarlet-pilus may take derived from the Ancient biblical tradition, in relation to biblical figures such equally Esau and Rex David. The Aboriginal historian Josephus would mistranslate the Hebrew Torah to draw the more than positive effigy of King David as 'gilt haired', in contrast to the negative figure of Esau, even though the original Hebrew Torah implies that both Male monarch David and Esau had 'fiery red hair'.^[83]

Mod-day discrimination

In his 1885 book I Say No, Wilkie Collins wrote "The prejudice against habitual silence, among the lower society of the people, is well-nigh as inveterate every bit the prejudice confronting cherry hair."

In his 1895 memoir and history The Gurneys of Earlham, Augustus John Cuthbert Hare described an incident of harassment: "The 2d son, John, was born in 1750. Equally a boy he had bright red hair, and it is amusingly recorded that one twenty-four hour period in the streets of Norwich a number of boys followed him, pointing to his scarlet locks and saying, "Look at that male child; he's got a bonfire on the top of his caput," and that John Gurney was so disgusted that he went to a hairdresser's, had his head shaved, and went home in a wig. He grew up, withal, a remarkably attractive-looking young man."^[84]

In British English, the word "ginger" is sometimes used to describe cherry-red-headed people (at times in an insulting manner),^[85] with terms such as "gingerphobia"^[86] and "gingerism"^[87] used by the British media. In U.k., redheads are likewise sometimes referred to disparagingly equally "carrot tops" and "carrot heads". (The comedian "Carrot Top" uses this phase name.) "Gingerism" has been compared to racism, although this is widely disputed, and bodies such as the UK Commission for Racial Equality exercise not monitor cases of discrimination and hate crimes against redheads.^[87]

Notwithstanding, individuals and families in Britain are targeted for harassment and violence because of their hair color. In 2003, a twenty-year-old was stabbed in the back for "beingness ginger".^[88] In 2007, a Great britain adult female won an award from a tribunal after being sexually harassed and receiving abuse because of her red hair;^[89] in the same twelvemonth, a family unit in Newcastle upon Tyne, was forced to motility twice after existence targeted for corruption and hate criminal offence on account of their red pilus.^[90] In May 2009, a schoolboy committed suicide afterward existence bullied for having red pilus.^[91] In 2013, a fourteen-yr-old boy in Lincoln had his right arm broken and his head stamped on by iii men who attacked him "just considering he had red hair". The three men were afterwards jailed for a combined total of ten years and one month for the attack.^[92] A possible fringe theory explaining the historical and modern mistreatment of red-heads supposedly stems from Roman subjugation and consistent persecution of Celtic Nations when arriving in the British Isles.

This prejudice has been satirised on a number of Telly shows. English comedian Catherine Tate (herself a redhead) appeared every bit a reddish-haired character in a running sketch of her series The Catherine Tate Show. The sketch saw fictional character Sandra Kemp, who was forced to seek solace in a refuge for ginger people because she had been ostracised from guild.^[93] The British comedy Bo' Selecta! (starring redhead Leigh Francis) featured a spoof documentary which involved a caricature of Mick Hucknall presenting a bear witness in which celebrities (played by themselves) dyed their pilus red for a twenty-four hour period and went about daily life being insulted by people. (Hucknall, who says that he has repeatedly faced prejudice or been described every bit ugly on account of his hair color, argues that Gingerism should be described equally a class of racism.^[94]) Comedian Tim Minchin, himself a redhead, also covered the topic in his song "Prejudice".^[95]

The pejorative use of the word "ginger" and related discrimination was used to illustrate a signal about racism and prejudice in the "Ginger Kids", "Le Petit Tourette", "Information technology's a Jersey Thing" and "Fatbeard" episodes of South Park.

Film and television programmes often portray school bullies equally having red hair.^[96] Nonetheless, children with cherry hair are oft themselves targeted by bullies; "Somebody with ginger hair volition stand out from the crowd," says anti-bullying expert Louise Burfitt-Dons.^[97]

In Australian slang, redheads are often nicknamed "Blue" or "Bluey".^[98] More than recently, they have been referred to every bit "rangas" (a discussion derived from the red-haired ape, the orangutan), sometimes with derogatory connotations.^[99] The word "rufus" has been used in both Australian and British slang to refer to ruby-red-headed people;^[100] based on a variant of rufous, a carmine-chocolate-brown color.

In Nov 2008 social networking website Facebook received criticism later a 'Boot a Ginger' group, which aimed to establish a "National Kick a Ginger Day" on 20 Nov, acquired near 5,000 members. A 14-yr-old boy from Vancouver who ran the Facebook grouping was subjected to an investigation past the Regal Canadian Mounted Police force for possible hate crimes.^[101]

In December 2009 British supermarket chain Tesco withdrew a Christmas carte which had the image of a kid with red hair sitting on the lap of Father Christmas, and the words: "Santa loves all kids. Even ginger ones" later customers complained the card was offensive.^[102]

In October 2010, Harriet Harman, the former Equality Government minister in the British government under Labour, faced accusations of prejudice later she described the cherry-haired Treasury secretarial assistant Danny Alexander every bit a "ginger rodent".^[103] Alexander responded to the insult past stating that he was "proud to be ginger".^[104] Harman was subsequently forced to apologise for the comment, after facing criticism for prejudice against a minority group.^[105]

In September 2011, Cryos International, 1 of the earth'south largest sperm banks, announced that it would no longer accept donations from cherry-red-haired men due to low demand from women seeking artificial insemination.^[106]

Use of term in Singapore and Malaysia

The term ang mo (Chinese: 红毛; pinyin: hóng máo ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: âng-mo͘ ) in Hokkien (Min Nan) Chinese, meaning "blood-red-haired",^[107] is used in Malaysia and Singapore, although it refers to all white people, never exclusively people with ruby hair. The epithet is sometimes rendered as ang mo kui ( 红毛鬼 ) meaning "red-haired devil", similar to the Cantonese term gweilo ("foreign devil"). Thus it is viewed as racist and derogatory by some people.^[108] Others, however, maintain information technology is acceptable.^[109] Despite this ambiguity, information technology is a widely used term. Information technology appears, for instance, in Singaporean newspapers such equally The Straits Times,^[110] and in tv set programmes and films.

The Chinese characters for ang mo are the aforementioned equally those in the historical Japanese term Kōmō ( 紅毛 ), which was used during the Edo period (1603–1868) as an epithet for Dutch or Northern European people. It primarily referred to Dutch traders who were the simply Europeans allowed to trade with Japan during Sakoku, its 200-year flow of isolation.^[111]

The historic fortress Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan was nicknamed ang mo sia (紅毛城).

The name "Rory"

The mainly masculine given proper noun Rory – a name of Goidelic origin, which is an anglicisation of the Irish: Ruairí / Ruaidhrí/Ruaidhrígh/Raidhrígh, Scottish Gaelic: Ruairidh and Manx: Rauree ^[112] which is common to the Irish, Highland Scots and their diasporas^[113] – means "scarlet-haired king", from ruadh ("cerise-haired" or "rusty") and rígh ("king"). Withal, present bearers of the name are by no means all cherry-haired themeselves.

Ruddy pilus festivals

Hundreds of redheads together at the Redhead Mean solar day, September 2007

In that location has been an annual Redhead Day festival in the Netherlands that attracts ruby-haired participants from effectually the earth. The festival was held in Breda, a city in the s east of the netherlands, prior to 2019, when information technology moved to Tilburg.^[114] Information technology attracts participants from over 80 countries. The international upshot began in 2005, when Dutch painter Bart Rouwenhorst decided he wanted to paint 15 redheads.

The Irish Redhead Convention, held in late August in County Cork since 2011, claims to be a global celebration and attracts people from several continents. The celebrations include crowning the ginger King and Queen, competitions for the best red eyebrows and most freckles per square inch, orchestral concerts and carrot throwing competitions.^[115]

A smaller red-hair day festival is held since 2013 by the UK'south anti bullying alliance in London, with the aim of instilling pride in having red-hair.^[116]

Since 2014, a red-hair consequence is held in Israel, at Kibbutz Gezer (Carrot), held for the local Israeli cherry pilus community,^[117] including both Ashkenazi and Mizrahi red-heads.^[118] Notwithstanding, the number of attendees has to be restricted due to the risk of rocket attacks, leading to anger in the red-hair customs.^[119] The organizers state; "The event is a expert thing for many redheads, who had been embarrassed nigh being redheads earlier."^[119]

The first and simply festival for carmine heads in the United States was launched in 2015. Held in Highwood, Illinois, Redhead Days draws participants from across the Usa.^[120]

A festival to gloat the cerise-haired people is held annually in Izhevsk (Russia), the capital of Udmurtia, since 2004.^[121]

MC1R Magazine is a publication for reddish-haired people worldwide, based in Hamburg, Federal republic of germany.^[122]

Religious and mythological traditions

In ancient Egypt red hair was associated with the deity Prepare and Ramesses II had it.^[123]

In the Iliad, Achilles' hair is described as ksanthēs ( ξανθῆς ^[124]), unremarkably translated as blonde, or gilt^[125] simply sometimes as red or tawny.^{[126] [127]} His son Neoptolemus also bears the proper noun Pyrrhus, a possible reference to his own red hair.^[128]

The Norse god Thor is usually described as having red pilus.^[129]

The Hebrew word usually translated "cherry-red" or "reddish-brownish" (admoni אדמוני , from the root ADM אדם , see besides Adam and Edom)^{[130] [131] [132]} was used to draw both Esau and David.

Early artistic representations of Mary Magdalene commonly depict her as having long flowing cerise pilus, although a clarification of her hair color was never mentioned in the Bible, and it is possible the colour is an effect caused by pigment deposition in the ancient pigment.

Judas Iscariot is too represented with cherry hair in Spanish culture^{[133] [134]} and in the works of William Shakespeare,^[135] reinforcing the negative stereotype.
