Hi, Abbey. And welcome to TSP, where I feel your pain, I do, I have, and I suspect I’ll feel that pain in the future. We are so glad you are here. I’ll get some new redhead posts going soon, though in the interim, please have a look around.

I am as redheaded as they get, and I need extra time and extra shots at the dentist to get numb – and I can STILL feel them working in there!

Hi, Tracey. I know. I do know. And I sympathize. But thank goodness this info is getting out there, yes? Also, there are all those other advantages to our color, aren’t there? Enjoy it, Red. And live your color.

I was told I was a “bleeder” because of my red hair and fair skin, when I was nursing my kids. I was scabbing and cracking. Not sure if anyone else heard that. My hair was a deep red as a young child, and later was more brown with red highlights, so I am not claiming to be a true redhead, but I do have the fair skin and freckles. I also need an extra 2 shots of novocain and an extra 20 min. to numb up.

Hi, Cindy: And welcome to TSP, where we love our red-haired sisters. I'm so glad it was helpful. Stay tuned for more on redheads in the coming year. Did you see this, by the way? Hope so.

Wow! This explains alot of things….I’ve had a few surgical episodes of baffling the docs at the amount of anesthesia I require. I watched my colonoscopy live from start to finish with the nurse worrying over me. Everyone in recovery was knocked out cold while i awake and ready to go home.
Good to know that is isn’t just me!

Hello, Elledee, and welcome to TSP, where one of our favorite sisterhoods is that of red hair. Have you seen the site featured here? Have a look, and then come back and share some more of your own red hair moments with us. Love the Barbie photos on your site. Very nice. I keep a redheaded Barbie on my desk at all times. So funny. Hope to see you soon.

Not only do I have this book AND struggle to be affected by sleep aids… I pull out my redhead barbie pretty much every time I’m bored. See here: http://glammed.blogspot.com/2009/10/day-in-life.html

Hi, Gwen, and welcome to TSP and the sisterhood of the redheads. You tell those girls to live their color. Tell ‘em I told you to tell ‘em, and if that if they do, they’ll thrive. Oh, the only redhead Barbie I ever found was really a Midge–of course, the daring one, remember? I love your family history and how much we seem to have in common here. I’m about to start posting some history of redheads updates, so do check back soon. What most people don’t know about redheads literally can fill a book. Hope to see you soon again.

I forgot to mention that my older redhead is majoring in journalism so I will be sure to tell her about this redhead website. Thank you so much.
