It represents a fiery personality, one that is driven by their passions. A strong-headed individual who knows how to get what they want.

There are many myths about red hair, but we’ll start with the most popular. Although red hair is a common feature in Ireland, it is not a native Irish trait. If you have ever seen an Irish redhead, chances are she has some Norwegian blood. The Vikings, who were rapacious and pillaging, brought red hair to Ireland. They moved in and left the fire in their hearts in blood of their wives, slaves, and soon in the children and daughters who came from their union. It is only fitting that the same fire which lit their hairs should burn in their children’s eyes, and that they have the right attitude.

Red hair is often not seen in a positive light. There are jokes about redheads having no soul. This comes from an old European myth, that red hair is from the stolen fires in hell. Red hair has been linked to extreme beauty. Cleopatra was once said to have been a redhead. It is not surprising that she was a strong woman and a manipulator.
