how do you feel about red hair ? i have red hair but lots of people do  not like it
I really like it because of how rare it is, only 1-2% of people have it naturally so I find it a bit exotic.
indeed, i do like the exotic side, i must have been lucky my mum also has red hair, what colour do you have ?
I have brown hair myself. I believe most red hair comes from a recessive genetic allele on chromosome 16, so it makes sense you'd both have it.
that is nice knowledge, i did not know that. my brother also has brown hair but that is quite common but i still like it. do you know alot about genetics ?
Yes I studied it in college so I know a fair bit, though it's very complicated. Hair color genetics are usually simple though, the more eumelanin that is present the darker the hair color.
You sure know more than me, i have read about eumelanin but i never understood it, probably why i went into such things as geography, do you do it for a job ?
I do not, but I find it interesting to read about sometimes. Hair genetics is interesting actually because levels of melanin can change over time, causing someone to have different colored hair at different points of their life.
i see. ive actually learnt something for once today thanks :) you should stick at it you seem to know your stuff.
by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin, it is associated with fair skin color, lighter eye color, freckles, and sensitivity to ultraviolet light.
Cultural reactions to red hair have varied from ridicule to admiration with many common stereotypes in existence regarding redheads. The term redhead has been in use since at least 1510.

Red hair is most commonly found at the northern and western fringes of
cop in L.A., and he had curly hair, so I permed my hair, which was a, uh, very interesting choice. Because I kind of looked like a… It’s kind of odd. I don’t really know how to describe it. I don’t know if you know a lot about perms, but if you do them, they relax after about two or three weeks. So my hair goes through these amazing transitions of being really tight and really wavy and sort of goofy-looking. [
