What percentage of the world's population has naturally red hair?
Correct answer: 2%
Miki
I have long naturally curly red hair similar to Merida from the movie "Brave". I hated it when I was younger but now I have learned to love it! People ask me all the time if it is my natural color (would a blond or brunette get asked that question?)and the other crazy thing is how many people want to touch it. It is true about us Gingers not having souls!! And if I act a bit crazy at times, I blame my red hair! 😜😜

Player #14782264, when my hair finally came in it was shocking red. There were no other redheads in the family. However there was a great deal of resemblance to my father fortunately. Not only was I a standout at family reunions but in every school classroom. Then there were nicknames like the obvious Red, Rusty, and Pinky. I actually thought I could be spotted on the playground Buy Low flying planes. I grew to appreciate it more and more as it faded to an auburn color. I'm 75 and it's still Auburn with no signs of Grey. there's no accounting for genetics.

Was a strawberry blonde as a child and it became auburn in high school. In my early 50's it darkened to a mousy brown. Missed my auburn hair and started having it colored. During a prolonged period of unemployment, let it go natural and kept it.

1 receptor (MC1R), a gene located on chromosome 16 responsible for red hair, one must receive 2 variant traits, known as recessive. it is also suggested red heads metabolize anesthesia faster and require more during surgery, more anesthetic at the dentist and more pain meds when being treated for pain.

I'd read somewhere that 13% of Scotland were red heads,but maybe it was they carry the red head gene.I was a red head up until 2 or 3 y.o.

Miki, I am a natural blonde and take offense if I'm asked if it's my natural colour too.

my daughter has red curly hair like Annie 😊 I love it. I taught her to be proud of it and when she was young if anyone said it was auburn or strawberry blonde (which is mad cus it's actually more deep red than ginger) she would say "NO it's Ginger" haha

Player #14782264, I agree! Ridiculous choices!
Player #25874027
Player #8258475, 13% of Scotland’s population is well under 1 million .
6% of the USA is probably about 19 million .
What are you on?

Dear Crazy People, Here is an opportunity to stand up for the royal who dared to wonder whether Harry and Megan's baby would be fair and red haired like his Dad or a lovely olive glow like his Mum. It was probably a throw away line without any racist malice whatsoever. It seems the majority of the people commenting are calling "Racism". I would much rather olive skin than white and freckly. Many years sunbaking to get the look. Will you call me racist 'cause I don't want my skin pale... Somehow I think not. Have a great day silly humans and the not so silly especially.
Player #8258475
Wrong. Scotland with 13% not 6% actually has the highest population if redheads.
Joe
It seems alot higher than that. I see people with red hair all the time.

Player Lady Nana, I have quite dark auburn hair too, it lights up in the sun

Mr Anderson, I don't have natural red hair but I love my adopted red colored hair! It matches my personality much more than mouse brown.
