Is red the rarest hair color?

Q. Just wondering. I heard that pure black was, because asians don't have PURE black. So just want to know.
Thanks :)

Answer
yes, red hair is actually considered a MUTATION. It is extremely rare to have natural red hair. if your parents have red hair there is about a 6% chance you would have it. 5% chance if it's happened before with your siblings. and about 1% if your parents DON'T have red hair. red hair is completely random.this seems ridiculous and made up ,but luckily i just learned about it in science :) people in UK, Republic of Ireland, and Australia. All in all only FOUR PERCENT of people have red hair!
Hope I helped!

why do people with red hair burn and get freckles?

Answer
well, red hair is actually a mutation in the genes, so people with red hair have the mutated MC1R protein in their body.
the same mutation effects the pigmentation, so people with red hair usually have fair skin, which means the skin is easier to burn. the reason for the freckles is because the MC1R in the skin react to sunlight, so they show when you're out and about doing whatever.
hope that wasn't too confusing.
