Ok so I have red hair and over my life so far I have heard some pretty funny things that people believe are true to red heads. I am not going to say them cause I want to hear what others think.Please share what you have heard, thought or been told. It's quite funny to hear these.

Bad tempers would definitely be the number 1 most heard:P. I must say though, I have known 2 redheads in my life and they actually lived up to that quite well. They must have been setting a really bad example for all other redheads by doing so, hehe.


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Well being a redhead myself I might have to agree with that one, maybe not all but my bf would agree that that one is true..lol

I once hear that redheads have a strong smell. But I don't think this is likely to be true. More likely some guy just had an experience with a red headed woman and narrow-mindedly put her smell down to her hair colour when in fact hair colour had nothing what so ever to do with it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

LOL, I have not heard that one. I really don't think that is true. I don't smell anyways..lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. Whisp1976 (312)   ranked 3,621 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

lol-I don't think that it is true either, unless the redhead is also unhygenic. It's mind boggling the things that people come out with, isn't it?


myLot reputation of 98/100. cherbe (2303)   ranked 584 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

may they just came across someone who didn't use deodorant lol...
That one is know on me... lol
great no we all smell lol...
I think I really really disagree with that one lol...


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

LOL, oh it definetly is mind boggling. Sometimes you just have to laugh it off.lol

They are passionate and their temper raises quickly.
My opinion is that the combination between red hair and green or blue eyes is very amusing:-)


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

:) Yes I agree with both of them..lol..The temper always seems to be the number one thing people think of when they think red hair.

ROFL from one redhead to another this should be funny!!
I have always got the temper and freckles firey and fiesty...
ummmm I know there is more and they were funny
I will have think for a bit but those are the top of the this but not the funniest by far...


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Well you'll have to come back and check up on all the answers. I have had people come up to me and ask questions about things they think about red heads just to see what my answer will be. I always think it's funny. Has this happened to you too?


myLot reputation of 98/100. cherbe (2303)   ranked 584 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

ROFL uuuummmmmm yep... some pretty personal ones to... like is your hair the same colour in how shall we says this... is it red like hair in other areas of your body as well ....
that one ALWAYS has gotton me ... cough cough... pardon me? I don't think I hear that question right or didn't understand it ... talk about jaw dropping questions lol...
Well if they successed in at least turning my face the colour of my hair lol...


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Lol, that is hilarious. I have had people say that, actually it is probably the most common question I get asked about red heads and yes my face goes red all the time too. Thats really funny, thanks:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. cherbe (2303)   ranked 584 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

well at least I'm not the only one who gets that question lol...
Honestly if your a natural redhead doesn't it just make common sense?
Did you know that if we melt are hair down we will have gold!!!
Never tried it but that was what I was told once lol...
Maybe I should try it I could be very rich and not no it! what do you think? lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Wow, well my hair is to my butt now, so I would be darn rich..lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. cherbe (2303)   ranked 584 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

ROFL so is mine!
We can be millionaire together if we can find away of doing that with out burning the hair to smitherines lol...


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Oh this is too hilarious, I think it's the most I've laughed in days..lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

I could see it now, we'll both be walking around with burnt heads, no hair and no money...LOL


myLot reputation of 98/100. cherbe (2303)   ranked 584 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Now wouldn't that be sight to see lol... I wonder what people would ask about then?
did your hair start on fire because it was red! lol....
I have heard us call the firey redhead before but that would bring on a whole new meaning to it don't you think? lol
Oh I am sooooooo bad lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. cherbe (2303)   ranked 584 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

It's amazing the kinds of conversations that we can come up with about red hair isn't it lol...
And I have always wondered WHY someone would want to go through all the trouble to dye there hair red...
It's okay when your older I guess but growing up with it feels like a curse sometimes lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

LOL, yes it did feel like a curse when I was younger. I don't know if it's just me sometimes you feel like your different from other people because I mean there are a lot of red heads but it's the least common of all hair colors. My stepdad used to call me carrot top, like what is that, the top of a carrot is green..lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. cherbe (2303)   ranked 584 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

ROFL Oh you are so killing me!
I have tears running down my face because I'm laughing so hard right now...
I have always wondered about the carrot top my self ... lol
could it be we have green highlights and don't know it maybe?


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

lol, yes that must be it only only other people can see it...too much eh.


myLot reputation of 98/100. cherbe (2303)   ranked 584 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

yep the thought of green invisible highlights is quite funny lol ...
At least when were older it it just gets funny to hear the comments because you can't help but laugh...
but some of them could be partly true I ture I guess... like the temper... It take me while to get mad but when I do you better run... lol...


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Yes I have quite the temper on me too, I don't really think it's that bad but my bf would beg to differ..lol..It's funny because when I was younger the comments bothered me but now, like you said it's just funny.

Im asian that i dont know about some of funny things about red heads, but i have read only on blondes i guess, they branded blondes as dull person.. which of course i think its not true, just some funny talks on it ..


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Yes there are a lot of blonde jokes, but thats all they are is jokes. Blondes are just as smart as other people:) Thank you for your response

Because of their light skin they burn easy. I know that one is true. Even though I have brown hair, I come from a long line of Irish redheads. So, in retrospect: My skin is fair, I am irish, so therefore the sun and I don't get along. Does that make sense?


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Yes that is true. I never Tan just burn, now my brother has red hair too but his burns turn into tans. So It's really not fair..lol

7. myLot reputation of 97/100. dedicated_28 (664)   ranked 341 out of 38,303 in life   3 years ago

well, as others have said, i've heard red hair= TEMPER and are easily burned by sun. One of my cousins is a red head and is quite fiesty. while some of the things ppl say about hair color, blondes have more fun, red heads are mean etc, is funny, i don't believe any of it to be true. Right back to that whole labeling thing that ppl tend to do.


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

Yes i agree. I do have a temper but lots of people do and I am sure their are redheads out there who don't. It is comical how we all get labels put on us because of hair color, the way we dress and the list could go on and on..lol

The only thing I've really heard is that they have a bad temper lol. I haven't heard anything else, so I'm interested to see what other people have said, and I will look at the other replies you have gotten after I post this! I don't know if the thing about bad tempers is true because you can't judge everyone the same way. Lol, don't feel bad, I'm a blonde so obviously you know what gets said about us.:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

LOl, for sure.I am curious to see if anyone else will respond with other things, I thought there would be a lot more by now..lol.

I have never heard anything bad about being a red head. Except the Fire crutch thing but I am not sure that is a bad thing.


myLot reputation of 99/100. amydawn11 (644)   ranked 573 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

LOl, yes I have heard that one a million times. I think my bf just likes to say it..lol


Tameraj (2)   ranked 33,395 out of 38,303 in life  3 years ago

I must have been double hit then. I am small besides being a natural redhead. I spent my whole life hearing the phrases about dynamite coming in small packages and a red headed temper. Im not easy to anger so that just makes no sense to me. I get a nice burn every year unless I keep my sun exposure to a 20 minute limit. If I can manage that I can get a reasonable tan that will stay all winter and fade in exactly april. That way it is all nice and gone to give me a great burn again come june. The funniest one I have heard is "red on the head= fire in bed" figure that one out:(
