If you have red hair does that mean that your mom&dad both have red hair? Is it also true for strawberry blond?

To have red hair do both parents have to have red hair since it is recessive, and if you have strawberry blond hair , then what color hair do your parents have to have ? According to the laws of geneticsIf you have red hair does that mean that your mom%26amp;dad both have red hair? Is it also true for strawberry blond?
No, I have red hair and both of my parents have brown. My Grandparents don't have red hair either. It was my Great Grandma who last had red hair.If you have red hair does that mean that your mom%26amp;dad both have red hair? Is it also true for strawberry blond?
Your parents could both have another hair colour. All they need to have is both carry one copy of the red hair allele. So no worries, your having red hair doesn't mean your parents keep a secret from you.
Both parents don't have to have red hair, but the recessive gene for it.
