The red hair gene is recessive, and it needs two copies for it to appear. And if it does, there is no guarantee that it will happen. There is a 1 in 4 chance that both parents have the gene for a redheaded child. Brown eyes appear first in most natural-born redheads (yes, some of us like the bottle) followed by green or hazel. The blue-eyed ginger, which accounts for 1% of the world's population, is the rarest species. Consider yourself lucky if you give one of these ginger's a kiss.
