I'm a red head. It's very rare and only occurs in 1–2% of the human population.
That does sound rare!  Did you inherit your red hair from one of your parents?
Yes, both of my parents are redheads, so I have two copies of a recessive allele on chromosome 16.
Are you fair skinned?  I heard that goes along with being a red head.
Yes, I am fair skinned with light blue eyes, and freckles.
What shade is your red hair?  I've seen people with reddish brown hair, and others with hair that is almost bright orange!
Mine is deep burgundy.
