Red hair = how?

I inherited it, it's either scottish or Irish :choc:

I'm English/Irish and no red hair. I don't think anyone in my family has had red hair mostly just blonde/light brown.

see you also have to have the genes in your family remember high school biology with the genetic chromosomes and stuff like how if it's XX one result occurs and if the result is XY then another (I cant fully remember but thats the male and female determining one right?) well you have dominant and reccessives called something in french cant remember alle something well the one for red hair is always, always, always the reccessive so ever wonder if both your parents are brunettes or blondes or black haired and your red haired look to your granparents seeing as one of them from each side of the family will be red haired back to the X and Y explanation:

in this X = any colour but red Y = Red

result one - XX - no red

Result two - XY - not red but the gene is there their kid could be red haired

Result three - YX - same as above but other way round still not red

Result four - YY - Red haired person

to be red haired both of your parents or grand parents need to be carrying the Red hair gene.

All this talk about cool hair, and now I feel I am inferior with my normal dark brown hair. :(

ahh see red hair on women is VERY NICE!!! :love: (I have a fetish for redhaired girls especially with a scotish accent and the paler the skin the better) whereas red hair on a guy is nowhere near as attractive lucky for me I take after my mother and not my dad seeing as he was strawberry coloured I give of the whole dark brooding feel apparently

my facial hair is sorta red

nope I'm pale as a ghost with dark brown hair and black facial and brown eyes so I definitely did not take after my Father also he was short and rotund (a little word I remembered for fat) and I'm taller than all of my relatives even my grand mother on my moms side who I never met (died when my mom was little) who was the tallest person in living memory in my family so I'm just the freak as I get referred to by my big brother untill I stand up :D

I have red hair!!!!

It's natural, a cousin of my mother had it....

Unfortunatly she was arrested, u know drugs....

I'm really sad that I never met her...

I'm so pretty!! I'm kiddin'!!!!!

Umn, no.

It's Blonde + Black hair that leads to red haired kids most often.

Don't overcomplicate it, hair colour has nothing to do with the sex chromosome, and I do A-Level Biology so we had a whole module on this stuff.

You'd better not dis' Red heads, or "I'll bring you down baby, I'll bring you down to Chinatown!!!!" hee hee

omfg is it possible to have red facial hair?!?!@4?>!@$@!

I want pics, even of of other ppl!
