redheads

Flame-haired individuals

Redheads are people with red hair—a relatively rare natural hair color caused by a genetic variant.

The term applies to both sexes but more often to women: Redheads are said to have fiery tempers.

Redhead also names several bird species with reddish plumage on the head, particularly a North American diving duck.
