If you could choose your hair color, what would it be? Maybe, you are happy with your natural color and don’t want to change anything. On the other hand, perhaps you want a lighter color, like blond hair, or a darker color, like black or brown hair. You might even want an unusual color, like green or purple! Or you might want to have red hair and be a ginger.
We use the word ginger to describe a person who is born with red hair. This expression comes from the red ginger plant. Since red-haired people have hair that looks like this plant, we can call them gingers.
