More often than not their skin lacks the required amount of melanin. Most redheads do not tan and run a big risk of getting sunburnt. Some are able to achieve a slight tan, yet their skin will always remain lighter than that of their darker haired peers.

∙ 12y agoYes, it is possible. Whether a redhead can get a tan or not depends very heavily on genetics.

What I can tell you, though, is that you could always try spray tanning if you don't tan well.

Can redheads get a tan?
no they cant get a tan cuz they are just going to get burnt and start to peel and all that Close but no prize. redheads ARE able to get a tan but it is very rare. The gene for red hair, which is a MC1R variant is located close to the gene for skin color. Most redheads cannot get a tan because in freckled redheads, the melanin is contained only in the freckles, not spread out uniformly as is the case for most people. Therefore, the freckles can tan (i.e. get darker) but there is usually no melanin in between the freckles. In rare cases, there are redheads with very little freckling and olive or darker skin. This is usually seen in non Celtic, Semitic (as in Jews, mostly Ashkenazi, as well as Arabs) or Iranian descent. There is a very, very tiny amount of these darker skinned redheads in Asian populations. I'm not sure. I'm a redhead and i can tan just fine and haven't had a sunburn for 9 or 10 years. Sure its uncommon and i probably spend more time outside than other redheads but i tan fine in the summer and lose it a bit during the winter just like everyone else
How do redheads tan?
I am a redhead, and with my fair skin, I burn very easily, but I do not tan until I have been burned repeatedly many times (such as after a trip too the beach). Even then, it is not a drastic difference. Redheads do get freckles on their face and shoulders from the sun exposure, though.
