Does ginger only skipp one generation?

it doesn't matter how many generations there are, it depends on the parents backgrounds, ginger hair is a mutation on the DNA that can be totally random. even if both the parents have ginger hair, there's still a good chance the kid isn't ginger.


What colour hair will your baby be if both parents have ginger hair?

Gimger hair is becoming more of an unlikely hair colour, and it has been said that in around 50 years, it will be'extinct'. Hair colour is decided by your genes, but rather than looking at just the colour of the hair, you would need to look at the genes that each parent has. As the father is blonde, he will have two blonde hair genes, which are recessive. The mother has ginger hair, and therefore has one ginger hair gene, which is also recessive, along with another gene which could either be blonde, black, or brown. If you think about it as a chart like this, it becomes much more simplistic. . . . The b stands for blonde, the g for ginger, and the O for other. .other is used as we are not aware of the other gene that the mother has. The O, or other, is shown as a dominant gene. b b g bg bg O bO bO From this chart, it shows there is a 25% chance of being ginger, and a 25% chance of being blonde. Then a 50% chance of being other, which could also turn out to be blonde. The child is therefore more likely to have blonde hair. . .


Can a person's hair be naturally black?

no, there is only three natural hair colours: brunette, ginger, and blond. you can not get natural black hair, just very very dark brown. Yes it is absolutely possible. I am the live example of that. My hair colour is dark black naturally from my birth. All of my friends are fond of my hair for that reason.


How do gingers become gingers?

They were born that way. Its due to genetics but in many cases it is due to the chromosones that both natural parents have combining together to make the hair colour. But although gingers are branded as lower and in other ways bullied, for example being called a mutant or being named as a a reletive of the devil this is not the case and the ginger race is purely down to biology. But the ginger cell can skip generations for example grandparents can be ginger , parents are then not but children are ginger this is not uncommon in different situations but ... if you are the only ginger in your family you should seriuosly consider whether you are adopted or not .

You can't get highlights without bleach. Hair colour doesn't lift hair colour. Only bleach does.

If you shave your head and then dye your scalp does your hair grow back the colour you dyed your scalp?

No it doesn't. The dye only affects the hair and because you have no hair on your head it will not change colour.


Can you dye or color gray hair?

Yes but only with a permanent hair colour. Any other will not stay in the hair.


Why are people teased because they have ginger hair?

Mainly because you react to it when they do. Actually, "ginger" hair is very nice looking, and they're just picking on something that's "unique". Get a good sense of humor about it, and laugh with them when they say something stupid about hair color or freckles. You don't need to agree with them, but if they don't see you get upset they will eventually give up. Remember that ignorant people don't understand that we're all different. They're the same people who ridicule blacks, short people, Asians or anyone else that they consider to be "not like them". Answer people that tease people about having ginger hair are weirdos and you should tease them back aboutsomething. I love my ginger hair! People who tease people who are ginger are stupid. They need to get a life. If you are ginger like me and you are getting teased, ignore everyone who is annoying you, eventually they should go away. It's only because ginger hair is more rare. It's actually a nice colour. Anyway, Back to the question. Why do people tease people with ginger hair? Mainly, it's because they are different and they haven't got anything better to do. Tell them 'Get lost' or 'Get a life' or just ignore them completely. Us gingers could easily go and tease people with brown hair or blonde hair, but not many of us do because there are so many people who are blondes or brunettes. If it is really annoying you, talk to someone about it, and maybe they can help you sort it out. I get the feeling sometimes that I really want to dye my hair, but it just wouldn't look right and I know I would regret it. Whatever you do, don't tease gingers, and if you are ginger, don't let it bother you if people do. Maybe they are just jealous. :) i dunno y people make fun of us we are truly amazing even though my hair is'nt proper ginger i still gett teased abouty being ginger ! we rock totally im not proper ginger either , im sorta blondish ginger , i get teased whoever is ginger don't let it bother you because i am ginger and i love my hair. Don't let mean people get in the way of being happy. Just ignore them and get on with life. Whenever i go to the hairdressers they always say that red hair is a unique colour and its something to be proud of. If your friends tease you about having ginger hair, just laugh along with them but if they carry on then they are not real friends. JUST BE PROUD OF YOUR HAIR I AM GINGER TOO. I AM PROUD TO BE GINGER Ginger hair is repulsing! but its alright
