      I like ginger hair too! It’s relatively rare, with only 1-2% of people in the world having it, and most of those are in Scotland and Ireland. The genes for ginger hair are ‘recessive’ genes so they’re slowly disappearing with each generation as the other hair colours take over!

      I’m afraid you probably can’t become ginger without using hair dye, and that never looks quite the same, does it?
