any other red-headed bubbas???

my baby girl has got the most divine bright red, not carroty - more golden, hair. wherever we go, i'm always getting stopped by people, young and old, to talk about her hair. she also had massive bright blue eyes, and real peaches-and-cream skin. ok, she's beautiful!!! :D

but apparently, red-heads will be pretty much bred out in around 50 years, and i was wondering if there were any other parents here with beautiful red heads???

maybe we need to arrange some marriages so the colour doesn't die out...;)

My friend just had a little baby who was born with basically a full head of red hair! We were all a bit shocked by it but he is such a gorgeous little fella!!

Yep, my little man is a red head (takes after his mummy). We also get stopped - especially by the grandma types. Ds has fine, straight hair though (just like me too) and massive big blue eyes and the palest clear skin, he also has a little dymple :)

I always comment on other littlies with red hair - they are sooo gorgeous

Bahahahaha, yep same with Jazz - golden red hair, bright blue eyes, and gorgeous milky skin. Her hair is ringlet-ing too, OMG its so gorgeous! I always get the comments, oh her hair colour! The eyes! The curls! Yep, especially the grandmas telling us how devine it is.

PMSL at the marriages!

ETA: temper to match it too ;) I call her my little firenut! LOL!

DD has red hair, the not carrot, golden red. we always get stopped too plus her hairs in ringlets aswell!!!
Both DF and i have red hair, mines more noticable than his but everyone always says she must get her colour from him, hehehehe he hates it!!
Will be highly suprised if DD2 is born without red hair. just hope its the same as DD1's and not the bright bright orangey red!

yes we have 2 :)

yes Leasha, the temper! we have that too

Funny as DH is full bloodline greek and my recessive Red hair won out twice! pmsl!!!!

i dont understand the term 'ranga' though.. i have people call my children Ranga and i have no idea what this means....


any idea?

yeah our DD has this amazing dark red colour that in the sun goes really crimson. she has a more olive complexion due to the indonesian/italian and she has green eyes. we too get stopped all the time! i just love it and it is a really lovely surprise as i am boring 'mousy' brown and so is DH.

his italian father and mothers sides are all red-heads so go figure? LOL!

A little red-head here too. The light golden colour, pale skin colour and blue eyes. Get stopped in the street quite often too. DF used to have red hair (carrot red), but it has now gone dark . I have dark blonde hair, but my grandmother's brother apparently had the golden red hair, so it skipped quite a few generations!

orangatan, started off from a show called summer heights high and a kid called jonah. i dont like it at all ,i think its flat out rude, especially to call a little bubba ranga!

double post sorry

yep, DD2 has strawberry blonde gingery hair! (well there isnt much of it yet and i guess it could change colour) but it isnt something i was expecting. DD1 had dark brown hair at birth.

yay, we got a few red heads! matilda sooo has the red-headed temper, hence my signature, and her hair is ringlety too!!! i put it in a pony tail - well, more like a little fountain - today, and it looks so cute.

the term ranga doesn't bother me too much, as long as it isn't said in a derogatory sense....

I get comments all the time on DS's red hair! It's more a strawberry blonde which is my natural colour. He has hazel eyes like his daddy and fair skin like the both of us, so cute.

Yep my little man is a red head,

My little fella is kinda ginger. It changes colour in the different lights. I wouldn't say his a full red head but it's definately got some ginger in there. Strangers ALWAYS comment on his hair and always ask where it comes from. My mum is a red head & so is DH's brother. DH had white hair until his late 20's & my hair is a brown/copper. He does have the beautiful blue eyes to match. People find it hard to see that I'm his mum. I've got dark hair & eyes (i'm half greek).

And yep.... He definately has a temper to boot!

Oh I wish!!! I have thick dark red hair and was so hoping our baby girl would get it but alas no!!! She has fine mouse brown hair...You are all so lucky!!!

I agree with booblaloo as long as its not derogatory! I don't mind the term ranga either, I love orangutans!!! I dislike carrot top more! I would always say derr carrot tops are green!

one of the terms i remember from having red hair in primary school was 'red-headed rat rooter'. actually i'm laughing whilst typing it, but it was horrible when i was little...

Yes, same here - DD has strawberry blond/reddish hair and we have NO IDEA where it came from.

People often comment on it especially as I have very dark brown/black hair which I thought would 'trump' DP's brown hair. We always tell people we'll get around to having a DNA test for DD one day :)

I never, ever imagined having a child with anything other than dark brown hair so DD's hair colour was a complete surprise. Love it though and goes really well with her brown eyes.

AND it's a bit curly too when DP and I both have very straight hair.

One out of the box that DD!

I have a cheeky, bad tempered red head with wicked curls. He loves his red hair but Daddy is mean and teases him about it. My other two boys are brunette and black haired.

I personally like being a curly red head so I encourage him to as well. Easy way to be different!

You know, i joked all pregnancy with Orson that wouldnt it be funny if he came out a redhead. And well he did. That nice golden red. It started off blonde when he was born and has turned red as the motnhs have gone by. Its also starting to ringlet where his cowlick is at the front, so gorgeous. Has the snow white skin and steel blue eyes to match.

My ds had ginger red hair but now it has gone golden blonde. I love his hair its so thick, wild and curly.

Fiona ... my sister had a copper- red haired bub & she too thought they wouldn't be able to so she looked into it ... one of her friends studied Genetics (i think) and said in order to have a red-haired child both parents (say that don't have red-hair themselves) of that child must EACH have a red-haired relative, even generations back ... i found this very interesting ;) ... My Mum confirmed OUR great-great-grandmother had red hair !!

*** Hey Fiona just thought i'd add ... both my parents have very straight hair yet they had two DD's (including me) with very curly hair (turns out the only relo that had curly hair was my Grandfather (my Dad's father) !!!
