The best thing about being ginger: I was teased because of it as a child but always took it as a compliment. People often get jealous of my hair colour, for me it’s a vital part of who I am. I love being a part of the small minority that are natural gingers, and, of course, standing out in a crowd!

Here at Ginger Parrot, we believe that achievements should be rewarded. So, because we’re lovely, every Ginger of the Month will receive one of these wonderful rosettes!
