What color hair are redheads born with?
Red hair is recessive, which means a person may have brown hair, and carry the “red gene” without expressing the hair color. A person must have two copies of the recessive gene to express the trait. The chances of having a child with red hair depend on the genes of the parents.
What cultures have red hair?
Red hair is relatively common in England, Iceland and Norway, too, while Germany, Sweden, Finland, The Netherlands and northern France are all ahead of the global average. Travel south through Europe and red hair becomes very rare. Just 0.57 per cent of Italians have it, for example, according to one study.
How often do redheads have blue eyes?

Why are redheads so unique?
This is because the gene mutation (MC1R) that causes red hair is on the same gene linked to pain receptors. Having red hair isn’t the only thing that makes some redheads unique. They are also more likely to be left handed. Both characteristics come from recessive genes, which like to come in pairs.
Why do gingers burn?
The majority of redheads burn very easily, and this is something waaaay past their control. It’s due to redheads having low levels of eumelanin and high levels of pheomelanin. What is melanin, you ask? It’s what controls the colour of every human’s skin.
Do redheads have more problems with anesthesia?
