Surprising Benefits of Red Hair
If you are a ginger, you will be glad to know the perks of it:
Lesser Visits to the Salon
Redheaded people lose their hair pigment very slow. So, no need for hair color treatment frequently.
Keep the Painkillers Away
Studies show that the gene responsible for creating red hair also releases endorphins-like hormones. As a result of this, they have a high threshold for pain. This is the reason why redheaded people require fewer painkillers.
You Make Your Own Vitamin-D
Redheads can generate their own vitamin D on sunlight exposure. So, isn’t it amazing to have stronger bones?
A Perfect Skin Tone
Redheads tend to be fairer. Therefore, they use more sunscreen. As a result, they have fewer skin wrinkles.
