Blondes, brown hairs, brunettes - against this background people with fiery red hair, milky-white skin and freckles stand out sharply. At all times, such a bright and unusual appearance aroused a lot of curiosity and doubt. But only one thing is clear: red-headed people are unique and carry a solar charge, a special temperament and disposition.
Origin
Before talking about the features and talents, you need to figure out where the red-haired people came from. There are two versions of their origin. The first is due to a historical factor and suggests that people with red hair are descendants of Neanderthals. Their gene is several tens of thousands of years older than the gene “homo sapiens,” that is, modern humanity. According to scientists at Oxford University, the hypothetical ancestors of the red-haired were dexterous and cruel hunters, more stocky and stronger than the "reasonable man." Over time, both subspecies were mixed up, but the genetic memory retained information about the unusual appearance (hair pigmentation) and the “explosive” and rebellious disposition. Traces of Neanderthals were found in Western Europe, just where today you can find red-haired Irish, Scots and Gauls (Germans).
The second version of the origin is ufological. She suggests that these unique creatures flew to Earth from a parallel world or other star system. This hypothesis cites a number of historical cases as evidence. These include medieval records of interrogations of sorcerers and witches. All of them, according to the description, had red hair color and possessed supernatural abilities (they predicted the future, treated people for complex ailments, influenced the weather and communicated with other worlds). And today, this trend has not yet outlived itself. Unusual talents and opportunities are attributed to many fiery-haired people. For example, there is an opinion that patients with redhead nurses and doctors quickly recover.
Another proof of the ufological hypothesis is the sensitivity of red-haired people to solar radiation. Researchers from the British University of Newcastle found that in ordinary people, when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, two types of melanin are released in the skin for protection. In red-haired people, this process occurs partially, so they hardly sunbathe, are more prone to sunburn and skin cancer.
Types of Redheads
Redhead people, the features of their appearance at all times worried others, giving rise to an incredible amount of debate, legend and prejudice. However, not all redheads are the same. Unlike “stamped” blondes with light eyes and brown-haired people with brown, they are divided into several types.
- The classic (or common) type is a combination of red hair with green eyes and freckles. As a rule, such natures are rather eccentric, tender and vulnerable. They did not immediately get close to new acquaintances, but if friendship nevertheless struck up, then it would last forever. Because the classic "mushrooms" are very faithful and stable.
- A rarer combination of fiery hair with brown eyes and dark skin. Usually this set is possessed by passionate, a little cunning people. They love to dominate and be the center of attention. They know their worth and are always ready to profitably present their talents and advantages to others. Become soft and docile from praise.
- The ideal of beauty among redheads is people with fiery hair and deep blue eyes. Such "lights" are very moody and sentimental. If something cannot be obtained with tears and complaints, they will find another way, but they will achieve their goal. Red-haired people with blue eyes are not vindictive; they quickly cool off after quarrels, but resentment is remembered for a long time. This is a very complex cocktail of contradictions, desires and excitement.
Character Features
Many psychologists draw a relationship between hair color and the nature of a person, especially his temperament. Despite the external differences that redheads possess, their characteristic conditionally reduces to general parameters.
- So, red-headed people are credited with hot temper, even increased aggression, cruelty. As a rule, these are pronounced choleric. From childhood, they have to endure attacks from their peers (which is just a teaser “red-haired, caulked”), so some rigidity is, rather, a developed need. From a scientific point of view, the exaltation of redheads is due to the fact that they have very little antistress hormones, so their nervous system is less stable.
- Also, red-haired people are considered more assertive, purposeful, freedom-loving. These are very energetic, agile people who seek to cover several cases at once. They are not without vanity, but this desire is justified by their non-standard thinking and individual perception of the world.
- Sexually, it is a dangerous fusion of passion and desire. According to popular belief, red-haired people are the most sensual and “hottest” partners who can give unforgettable pleasure to a partner, causing a real firework of emotions.
Temperament
Redheads are very sensitive to all kinds of external stimuli. Their soul resembles a tense nerve, which is always ready to suffer, to suffer from pain. And even if outwardly they smile and dance, hurricanes rage inside them. The hot temperament often pushes the fiery owners to dangerous adventures and makes them vulnerable to allergies and nervous diseases. But otherwise, the life of "saffron milk" will become fresh and mundane, which will certainly cause depression. Such extremes are the norm of life for almost every red-haired person.
Children
Ever since childhood, "saffron milk caps" have been hyperactive. As a rule, sunny kids are restless, overly curious and mysterious. Their mood can change quickly, and it is very difficult to guess what to expect in the next minute from such a child: a smile or another whim.
Growing up, they seem to plunge into their unreal world, love to play alone and imagine themselves to be heroes of their own invented stories. Over time, this quality can develop into a musical or literary talent. Red children, if you do not miss the moment, almost always early show unusual abilities that need to be developed.
Men
Red-haired men always stand out against the background of brutal brunettes and cute blondes. They are bright, charismatic and individual, which gives them great confidence and determination. Psychologists note that their non-standard perky appearance helps them win over others, causing more curiosity. They are prone to creativity, selfishness is alien to them. A great sense of humor and sexuality are the perfect complement to such a perfect cocktail.
In addition, historically proven that red-haired men are very courageous and courageous. A vivid example of these qualities are the desperate Vikings and Celtic warriors.
The disadvantages include inconstancy in the love of "fiery" men. Sexologists claim that they inherited this quality from distant Neanderthal ancestors. At the biological level, they are trying to make up for the "deficit" of redheads on the planet, and therefore they often go to the left.
Beard
Recently, psychologists have discovered a relationship between the male character and the color of the beard. So, men with a red-red beard have a calm and friendly character. Gold color indicates some prudence and secrecy of the owner.
Beard grooming matters. A clearly edged and "combed" beard speaks of a neat, judicious and attentive character. Red, careless facial hair usually characterizes a creative man or engaged in hard work.
And finally, the form of a beard can give out its owner . The so-called skipper beard is inherent in people who are creative and self-confident. The Spanish type is chosen by red-haired people with a stubborn and unstable disposition. In addition, they are prone to adventure. People with a red beard and whiskers, on the contrary, are a sign of reliability and permanence.
Women
If the cartoonish song "Red-haired, red-haired, caulked" is usually turned to "sunny" men, then women with fiery hair are called red furies. And this is not surprising! As a rule, these natures are very emotional, exalted, proud and independent. They are complex and stubborn, but at the same time very energetic, optimistic and sexy. Redhead girls are always in the spotlight, able to seduce any man and settle for a long time in his heart.
Red-haired women are often impetuous and too straightforward, do not recognize compromises and dangers. For which they often fall into unpleasant situations. But their perseverance and a flexible, cunning mind help to get out of them with dignity.
Psychologists distinguish two types of red-haired women: sophisticated, prone to creativity (poetry and music) and strong women with a masculine character. The first type includes classic red-haired young ladies with pale skin, fair eyes and freckles. They are dreamy and unstable in their decisions, prone to solitude. The second type is more resolute and, as a rule, has a dark skin and dark eye color. Both types do not seek a quiet, family haven. Rather, on the contrary, career, self-realization are always in the foreground.
Famous red people
External eccentricity always carries extraordinary qualities, talents, abilities. From ancient times to the present, history has many famous people who have a "sunny appearance." These include people of art (Leonardo da Vinci, Vivaldi, Van Gogh), scientists (Galileo Galilei), rulers (Emperor Nero, William the Conqueror, George Washington) and others. All of them left a bright mark and confirmed their uncanny eccentricity.
Famous redheads of our time are also seen in Hollywood cinema (Mila Jovovich, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Juliana Moore). On the Russian stage, this is Nikita Dzhigurda, the Brothers Grim group, Andrey Grigoryev-Apollonov. All these red celebrities are united by creative abilities, independent disposition and great charisma.
