Red hair is caused by a mutation in what's known as the MC1R gene, Petra explained. If someone inherits two mutated versions of this gene, they end up as a typical redhead with fair skin. ... So if your guy has a red beard, it's perfectly normal?it just means someone in his family was a redhead at some point.
