My mother has red hair. Mine was an odd ash/auburn colour, in between when I changed from a towheaded baby to a dark ash blonde pre-teen. I actually died it Clairol "Copper Penny" for a few years, then Manic Panic "Green Envy"-- before going to Clairol "Black Cherry." Then, I went for the light blonde of my childhood. It was pink for a spell, while I was trying to pull the black cherry dye out with multiple apps of stripper. :p This was my first lesson in how red dye "grabs."

I leave the red to true redheads these days. I do carry the gene, though. Shall I bank some of my DNA? :)

It did.

The reahead gene is recesive and the brown hair gene is dom. So if a redhead gets with a brown haired person chances are their kids will have brown hair.

So basically to keep it around redheads will have to reproduce with redheads.

That's what I figured they were getting at, I already figured that out before reading the article, it's just for some reason I didn't seem to get that out of it. It was early when I read it, that's probably why.

Red hair certainly has made the endangered list. But with 4 percent of 6.4 billion people carrying the gene, says University of Rochester Medical Center's David Pearce, it is too large a figure to be wiped out completely in the next 95 years.

Am I the only one that read that part?

I didn't notice one thing in there that actually stated WHY this is happening. I wonder what the reason is...?

To make my life miserable. :cry

A crisis is no time to tell us we're not having a crisis! Now find me some redheads to breed with, stat!
