How do gingers become gingers?

Answer 1

They were born that way. Its due to genetics but in many cases it is due to the chromosones that both natural parents have combining together to make the hair colour. But although gingers are branded as lower and in other ways bullied, for example being called a mutant or being named as a a reletive of the devil this is not the case and the ginger race is purely down to Biology. But the ginger cell can skip generations for example grandparents can be ginger , parents are then not but children are ginger this is not uncommon in different situations but ... if you are the only ginger in your family you should seriuosly consider whether you are adopted or not .

Answer 2

People with red hair have a genetic variation that causes their hair to produce more of the pigment pheomelanin. This genetic trait is typically passed down from one or both parents who carry the gene. The presence of the MC1R gene is usually associated with red hair.
