Will red hair go away?
Recessive genes can become rare but
don’t disappear completely
unless everyone carrying that gene dies or fails to reproduce. So while red hair may remain rare, enough people carry the gene that, barring global catastrophe, redheads should continue to appear for some time.
Is the redhead population declining?
Redheads are
definitely on the decline

Are Gingers a dying race?

What is the rarest hair color?
