History of International Kiss A Ginger Day

Derek Forgie introduced International Kiss A Ginger Day as a Facebook group in 2009. It is designed as a “Karmic Counter Event.” They already started in 2008, November, as Kick A Ginger Campaign, but it resulted in some ginger kids being assaulted in school, condemnation and stirring international outrage. So Derek decided to make January 12 a day for peace-loving activity aimed at Ginger.

Redhead genetics are the rarest genetics existing in the world. Only 1-2% of the population is the true red. The color range may vary from Burgundy to bright copper, maybe bright orange on a few occasions. In some parts of the world, people disparage this kind of color of hair. The origin of a phrase such as  “Like a red-headed stepchild” shows that people in some parts have an extra love affair with them. The most commonly used hair care product is Red hair dye, and it comes in a lot of colors that are never found in nature. The people in Ireland heavily have red hair, and it is the ancient origin of red hair.
