I think I'm turning Ginger....

    Over the past few months I've started to spot some ginger hairs in my stubble. Thankfully Mr Quatro has been quick to dispose of them on all occassions. Recently people have remarked about how my hair appears to be ginger when the light is shining directly on it. This worries me because my hair used to be blonde and over the past few years slowly started turning brown. I decided thaI could live with this, sure I would lose the appeal of being blonde but I always came to the conclusion that no matter what, it would be better than being ginger!

    Has anyone out there had a similar experience? Is my ginger beard a sign of things to come? Or is it merely due to inner-Viking within me? If not, how does one go about stopping this horrific process?

    I'm the same in reguards to the hair, used to be blond when I was a kid, but turned brown then. My beard is kinda gingerish also, but it's never bothered me at all. I think you're just making too much of a big deal out of this, nobody has ever really made light of it, or has it affected anything.

    Although, it did come in handy when I was introducing myself as "The Dread Pirate Redbeard" one drunken birthday party. ;)

    That said, if it bothers you that much:

    Kill yourself now while you still have your wits about you.

    It won't be long before the 'ginger gene' becomes dominant and takes over your mind.

    Hmm...
    Is my ginger beard a sign of things to come?

    No offense to the bearded ladies of this world, but I'd assume anyone with a beard is a man.

    Gingervitis is a very serious condition that can affect your life in many ways. Consult your GP for an information pack.

    Same here.

    Don't worry OP, it takes more than red hair to be a ginger, you also need pale skin and freckles. Without these, you're at most a daywalker. If these develop however, there's only one solution *cocks shotgun*.

    The first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about at night is how glad I am that I'm not ginger.

    Yeah my beard has a good bit of ginger in it, which is pretty annoying coz my hair is jet black. Had to shave it off...

    Celebrate good sir, happy days are coming your way, for you will be truly blessed with the rusty hue of your forefathers. Blessed are you among men.

    haha you're ginger, unlucky


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,820 ✭✭✭Archeron


    I was a complete ginger when I was a kid, but over time it went blonde, and now its dark brown. I still have some freckles, so I think I'm 40% daywalker and 60% normal human. Sadly, my beard is also still Irish Colleen red, so I am destined to live a facial hair free life. Oh the humanity.

    And you should get to know your inner viking. Mines called Olaf and he likes burning straw huts, pillaging, and drinking Meade from hollowed out bull horns.

    Daywalker -_-

    Ginger-heaven maybe. Definitely not the real one.
    Don't you know that those people have no souls?

    Jaysus, the Gingers are evolving to disguise themselves as "norms" in later life. * shudder *

    Mwahahahahahahaha!!! You should see our global base on ginger skull island.

    I went out with a red-head once.
    She had no hair - just a red head.
    She had lots of hair on her back though.
    Oh, & her lovely, long, black curly teeth!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 441 ✭✭brown*eyed*girl


    Well an ex of mine has brown hair (blonde as a child) and when he grew a beard it had auburn tinges in it! I thought it was sexy tbh. So use the word auburn instead of ginger and you'll be grand. ;)

    I've dark hair but my beard has a bit of ginger in it. To hide my shame I have to shave before I am driven out of town.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭layke


    Murdy, how's things down below loike? Any ginger pubes popping up? You know your in trouble when that happens.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I found a ginger hair in my otherwise dark hair once. I burnt it off with acid.

    Yep... That means your reproductive system has been contaminated and all your kids will be ginger.
