Blonds, brown-haired, 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 caused a lot of curiosity and doubt. But only one thing is clear: red-haired people are unique and carry a solar charge, a special temperament and disposition.
Origin
Before talking about the features and talents, it is necessary to understand 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 “homo sapiens” gene, that is, modern humanity. According to scientists at Oxford University, the hypothetical ancestors of the redheads were dexterous and cruel hunters, more stocky and strong than "a reasonable person." Over time, both subspecies intermingled, but the genetic memory retained information about the unusual appearance (hair pigmentation) and "explosive" andrebellious temper. Neanderthal footprints have been found in Western Europe, which is where red-haired Irish, Scots and Gauls (Germans) can be found today.
The second version of the origin is ufological. She suggests that these unique creatures came to Earth from a parallel world or another star system. As evidence for this hypothesis, a number of historical cases are cited. These include medieval records of interrogations of sorcerers and witches. All of them, according to the description, had red hair and possessed supernatural abilities (they predicted the future, treated people from complex ailments, influenced the weather and communicated with other worlds). And today this trend has not yet outlived its usefulness. Many fire-haired are credited with extraordinary talents and abilities. For example, there is an opinion that red-haired nurses and doctors get better faster.
Another proof of the UFO hypothesis is the sensitivity of red-haired people to solar radiation. Researchers from Newcastle University in the UK found that two types of melanin are secreted in the skin of an ordinary person when exposed to ultraviolet radiation to protect themselves. In red-haired people, this process occurs partially, so they rarely tan, and are more prone to sunburn and skin cancer.
Types of redheads
Red-haired people, the features of their appearance at all times worried others, giving rise to an incredible amount of controversy, legends and prejudices. However, not all redheads are the same. Unlike "stamped" blondeswith light eyes and brown-haired with brown, they are divided into several types.
- Classic (or common) type - a combination of red hair with green eyes and freckles. As a rule, such natures are rather eccentric, gentle and vulnerable. They do not immediately get close to new acquaintances, but if friendship nevertheless began, then it will last forever. Because classic redheads are very loyal and stable.
- A rarer combination of fiery hair with brown eyes and swarthy skin. Usually passionate, a little cunning people have such a set. They love to dominate and be the center of attention. They know their worth and are always ready to favorably present their talents and dignity to others. Become soft and obedient from praise.
- The ideal of beauty among redheads is people with fiery hair and rich blue eyes. Such "lights" are very capricious 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 vengeful, they quickly cool down after quarrels, but they remember insults for a long time. This is a very complex cocktail of contradictions, desires and passion.
Character traits
Many psychologists draw a relationship between hair color and the character of a person, the characteristics of his temperament. Despite the external differences that red-haired people possess, their characteristic is conditionally reduced to general parameters.
- Thus, red-haired people are credited with irascibility, even increased aggression, cruelty. As a rule, these are pronounced choleric. im withchildhood has to endure attacks from peers (which is only worth the teaser “red-haired, freckled”), so some rigidity is rather a developed necessity. From a scientific point of view, the ex altation of redheads is explained by the fact that they have very little anti-stress hormones, so their nervous system is less stable.
- Also, redheads are considered more assertive, purposeful, freedom-loving. These are very energetic, mobile people, striving to cover several cases at once. They are not without vanity, but this desire is justified by their out-of-the-box thinking and individual worldview.
- Sexually it is a dangerous fusion of passion and desire. According to popular belief, redheads are the most sensual and "hot" partners who can give an unforgettable pleasure to a partner, causing a real firework of emotions.
Temperament
Redheaded people are very sensitive to all sorts 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. Hot temperament often pushes fiery owners on dangerous adventures and makes them vulnerable to allergies and nervous diseases. But otherwise the life of "saffron mushrooms" will become insipid and mundane, which will certainly cause depression. Such extremes are the norm for almost every redhead.
Children
Since childhood, "saffron mushrooms" have been hyperactive. HowAs 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, like to play alone and imagine themselves as heroes of their own invented stories. Over time, this quality can develop into a musical or literary talent. Red-haired children, if you do not miss the moment, almost always show unusual abilities early that need to be developed.
Men
Red-haired men always stand out against brutal brunettes and pretty 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. Great sense of humor and sexiness are the perfect complement to such a perfect cocktail.
In addition, historically proven that red-haired men are very courageous and courageous. A striking 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. On a biological level, they are trying to make up for the "deficiency" of redheads on the planet, which is why they often walk to the left.
Beard
Recently, psychologists have discovered a relationship between male character and beard color. So, men with a red-red beard have a calm and friendly character. The golden color speaks of some prudence and secrecy of the owner.
Beard grooming matters. A clearly edged and "combed" beard speaks of a neat, reasonable and attentive character. Red, sloppy facial hair characterizes a man who is usually creative or doing hard work.
And finally, the shape of a beard can give out its owner. The so-called skipper's beard is inherent in creative and self-confident people. The Spanish type is chosen by red-haired people with a stubborn and fickle disposition. In addition, they tend to be adventurous. People with a red beard and sideburns, on the contrary, are a sign of reliability and constancy.
Women
If the cartoon song "Red-red, freckled" is usually addressed 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, ex alted, proud and independent. They have a complex and stubborn nature, but at the same time they are very energetic, optimistic and sexy. Red-haired girls are always in the spotlight, able to seduce any man and settle in his heart for a long time.
Red-haired women are often impulsive and too straightforward, do not recognize compromise and danger. For which they often find themselves in unpleasant situations. But theirperseverance 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 ladies with pale skin, light eyes and freckles. They are dreamy and fickle in their decisions, prone to solitude. The second type is more determined and tends to have darker skin and darker eyes. Both types do not strive for a quiet, family haven. Rather, on the contrary, they always keep career and self-realization in the foreground.
Famous redheads
External originality always carries extraordinary qualities, talents, abilities. From ancient times to the present, history has many famous people with 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), etc. All of them left a bright mark and confirmed their supernatural originality.
Famous redheads of our time are also seen in Hollywood cinema (Mila Jovovich, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore). On the Russian stage, these are Nikita Dzhigurda, the Brothers Grim group, Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov. All these red-haired celebrities are united by creativity, independent disposition and huge charisma.
