Nice. What would you say are the typical hair characteristics of gingers?

Hello Rafael,

Normally, ginger/red hair patients have less hair density but coarser hair. Their hair is also frizzier.

However, in this particular case, the patient had thin hair. 

In a positive note, due to the less contrast of skin vs hair colour, the illusion of density is normally very good in patients with these hair characteristics.
