The place where likeminded Ginger Ninja’s and those that love them come together and share, explore, understand and enjoy this very unique community.
KinderGinger.com are driven by the 4 C’s:
Clan, Craft, Curse, Community
Join the most innovative and creative clan of Ginger Ninja’s the world has seen.
Clan
The clan of Ginger Ninja’s are an exclusive club belonging to anyone that regards themselves as a Ginger Ninja or a friend of a Ginger Ninja.
It takes a village to raise a child is a proverb which means that it takes an entire community to raise a child: A Ginger Ninja has the best ability to become a healthy adult if the entire community takes an active role in contributing to the upbringing of this Ginger Ninja.
The clan can support each other through various ways:
-
Red Thread
-
7 hand shakes theory which claims that everyone is connected through the shaking of hands. This means that none of the Ginger Ninja experiences we have or are having is unique to us alone, but there are other Ginger Ninja’s out there that can share it.
-
Community outreach to curb bullying
-
“Align here with various programs that tackle bullying in schools”

Why does anyone bully another? Well there are many reasons for that, but we would like to look at the positive side to this as Ginger Ninja’s. You can meet a Ginger Ninja that is an adult already and you will see the strength in them when they talk about the experiences they have had growing up. Well its our sworn duty as a clan of Ginger Ninja’s to ensure that all children in the clan get the confidence and support to become full Ginger Ninja’s one day.

Curse
According to various data sources, Red hair occurs naturally in 1–2% of all humans. It occurs more frequently (2–6%) in people of northern or western European ancestry, and less frequently in other populations.
Red hair can vary from a deep copper (reddish-brown) through to strawberry blond. It is also associated with fair skin color, lighter eye colors (gray, blue, green, and hazel) and freckles.
Cultural reactions have varied from ridicule to admiration; many common stereotypes exist regarding redheads and they are often portrayed as fiery-tempered. The term redhead has been in use since at least 1510 and Ginger Ninja’s have been around for much longer.
So what is a Ginger Ninja ? Its someone with any off the characteristics explained above, but with a great positive no nonsense attitude that are always up for challenging the status quo.

1. Red hair is a beautiful genetic mutation
Both parents must be carriers of the mutated MC1R gene to be able to produce redhead offspring, of which there is a 25% chance if they don't have red hair themselves.
2. Less than 2% of the world's population have red hair
That's approximately 140 million people. Scotland boasts the highest percentage of natural redheads, with 13% (40% might carry the gene there) while Ireland comes in second with 10%.
3. Red hair can occur in any ethnicity
It occurs more frequently (2-6%) in people of northern or western European ancestry, and less frequently in other populations.
4. It's really hard work to dye red hair
Because it holds its pigment tighter than any other hair colour, red strands need to have their pigment stripped before being dyed by bleaching which, of course, damages the hair. Stay red!
5. Red hair is thicker than other colours
Each strand of red hair is generally thicker than other shades which compensates for the fact that redheads have less hair. Apparently they have – on average – 90,000 strands while blondes have 110,000, and brunettes have 140,000.
6. Redheads are more likely to develop skin cancer
Because of their commonly fair skin and sensitivity to ultraviolet light, redheads are more likely to develop skin cancer. The International Journal of Cancer reported in 2010 that natural redheads are approximately two and a half times as likely to develop the dangerous cancer as people with other hair hues.
7. Blue eyed redheads are super rare
Blue eyes and red hair forms the rarest combo on earth. Most (natural) redheads will have brown eyes, followed by hazel or green shades.
8. Redheads can change temperature quicker
This is because – according to research – redheads are more sensitive to hot and cold pain. Nothing to do with their mythical fiery temperament!
9. Redheads don't go grey
Red hair will never turn grey; it simply fades to white via rose gold when the time comes.
10. Redheads can produce their own Vitamin D
As they can't sufficiently absorb Vitamin D (it's down to their lower melanin-concentration), redheads internally produce their own Vitamin D when they're exposed to low light conditions. Go Ginger Ninja’s!
11. Climate change is threatening the gene
Given that red hair doesn't adapt to warm climates, the gene could - at some point - become extinct. Could this be a fact ? Let the Ginger Ninja’s live forever !
