History of National Love Your Red Hair Day
Adrienne and Stephanie Vendetti, co-founders of How to be a Redhead, created National Love Your Red Hair Day in August 2015. Red hair is associated with several myths and histories.
While red hair is common in Ireland, it is not exclusive to the country. Many believe that if you’ve seen an Irish redhead, they likely have some Norwegian ancestry. This is attributed to the pillaging and rapacious Vikings who brought red hair to Ireland. As they settled, they left their mark both in the fiery hues of their hair and in their descendants.
National Love Your Red Hair Day encourages people to remember the myths and histories surrounding redheads while celebrating the strength and beauty that come with red hair.
