[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 370059, member: 1963"] Red hair in humans is recessive, so it can sneak out of the depths of the gene pool and surprise everyone. We have a LOT of redheads in my family. My mother has redhair as does my neice. One of my mother's brothers is a redhead, BUT, neither grandparent on that side were "gingers"...they were blonde or very dark. On my dad's side they were all swarthy with dark hair and pale eyes. On my mother's side the redheads have hazel eyes, not green or blue. My sister has dark blonde hair. She was a towhead as a child. I was a dark strawberry blonde, but have darkened to brown with a lot of red (If I color my hair any lightening will come out red instead of blonde). We also grey extremely late. My mother is 75 and is "salt and pepper" (red pepper in her case, LoL). I only have a few grey strands so far and I'm fifty. Lord knows I've lived the sort of life that should've had me grey years ago, but my hair doesn't show it. [/QUOTE]
