thats interesting, but i have red hair and TAN skin, with some freckles. Irish and spanish descent. So what would that mean? I’ve searched all over the internet and haven’t been able to find anything about it, or whether there is still a high risk for skin cancer…

my brother and mother have red hair and pale skin, I got my fathers skin tone.

$119 seems cheap for the gene, itself, but then what do you do with it? It could cost thousands of dollars to actually put it to any use. What about that?

I think that having a test to find out, if someone has the red hair gene is a good thing. Being that I’m the only red head in my family if would be nice to see if my partner has the red hair gene.

I’ll not spend too much money for that it’s such a wasteful.. I’d rather go shopping.

A’Llyn, if you have the gene and you have red hair, then yes it’s already expressed in you.
For the red hair gene to be expressed in or inherited by children, both parents must have the gene.

Wow. That’s interesting. But I already know I have a red hair gene, so my question is, can they ensure that it will be expressed?

They should talk to me when they can.
