Why does brown hair turn red?

Brown hair does not "turn red." It can appear to have a reddish tint in some light. It may have a natural reddish tint that becomes emphasized by the sun lightening it. Keep in mind that there are only three human hair colors: blond, black, and red, and red is the result of a mutation. True red hair is actually quite rare. Every other hair tint is a result of a combination of hair color genes, OR artificial hair coloring.
