Becasue red hair is caused by a recessive relatively rare gene.
Red hair is rare because the trait is a recessive gene when paired up with other types of hair. In most cases both sides of the parents have to have that gene to even make it possible. Many people have the trait for red hair, but it takes 2 people with the trait to produce an offspring with red hair, making it twice as difficult. That is why red hair is not typical.
In Ancient Greece both red and blonde hair were rare. Most Greeks had a dark complexion and dark colored hair. Blonde hair was considered especially beautiful, and was a feature of several Greek gods and mythological heroes.
Red heads are pretty rare since only about 2 percent of the human population has red hair. People of western and northern European ancestry are the ones with the highest occurrence.
