Redheads, it's time to celebrate Redhead Appreciation Day on September 23! This day was created to recognize and appreciate those who rock the fiery red hair. It has been celebrated every year since 2005 and is a great way for people with red hair to come together as one big community. So let's break out the boxes of dye, put on our best outfits, and proudly show off our unique shade of ginger!
