Black people with naturally red hair, also known as African-Caribbean redheads, are individuals of African descent who possess a rare genetic trait that results in naturally red hair color. An example is the British actress Sophie Okonedo.
The occurrence of red hair among black people is often attributed to genetic diversity and intermixing with other ethnic groups. It is a reminder of the vast genetic diversity within the human population. Despite its rarity, natural red hair among black people holds cultural and historical significance, challenging stereotypes and showcasing the beauty and diversity of human appearance.
