	Telegraph \| Connected \| Nicole's hair secrets
		The secret history of redheads is one of the topics explored at the Hair Affair, a half day of talks and workshops exploring the science of hair, organised by the Royal Institution and L'Oréal and supported by The Daily Telegraph on October 25.
		Despite the old folk tale that redheads are the result of interbreeding between brunettes and blonds, hair colour is actually determined by a more subtle genetic influence.
		If the Edinburgh team are right, and the redhead gene originated only 20,000 to 40,000 years ago, it may kill off a theory that emerged last year - that the red-hair gene originated in the Neanderthals.

	The Reporter -- Redheads and painkillers
		Redheads often get a bad rap: Anne of Green Gables was a troublemaking orphan with a fiery temper, while Lilith was Adam's sinful first wife with a thing for demons.
		Though the gene is found in everyone, one variant of Mc1r is responsible for the distinctive pigmentation of 65 percent of all redheads (unrelated genes are the cause for the remaining 35 percent).
		Locating subjects was pretty easy, although checking whether they were in fact the kind of "real" redheads they were looking for was a little more complicated than comparing their eyebrows to their bangs.

	Redheads require more anesthetic
		"If redheads require more anesthesia and are not given more, their chances of having recall during surgeries increase," he said.
		Anesthesiologists have long grumbled that redheads can be a little harder to put under, but no one had ever studied whether that was real or folklore, said Dr. Andrea Kurz of Washington University in St. Louis, who praised the new research.
		Redheads seldom tan easily because they have a defective receptor for that hormone -- a quirk with the melanocortin-1 receptor that also leaves their hair red.

		The newly formed Princeton Redheads Society, which obtained official recognition and funding from the university, has begun to bring together red-haired students in meetings and parties centered around the theme of "the redhead experience."
		Easily spotted in crowds and classrooms, redheads are sometimes the objects of "carrot top" jokes and other teasing.
		Her forthcoming book, "Redheads," shows that male redheads throughout literary history have been portrayed as powerful and untrustworthy and the red-haired female as devilish and seductive.

		REDHEADED women have a greater ability to withstand pain than blondes or brunettes, according to new research.
		A University of Edinburgh researcher first identified the mutant gene, melanocortin-1, that causes red hair and around 40 percent of the Scottish population carry the gene while 7 to 10 per cent of the population are redheaded.
		Redheads with pale skin, however, could draw more nutrients from the sun and so had a better chance of survival.

		Determining a patient is properly anesthetized is a partly an art: Physicians must watch for sometimes subtle signs of an underdose, like slight movements or sweating, as well as overdose warnings such as low blood pressure or heart rate.
		Anesthesiologists have long grumbled that redheads can be a little harder to put under, but no one had ever studied if that was real or folklore, said Dr. Andrea Kurz of Washington University in St. Louis, who praised the new research.
		Then they administered electric shocks -- not enough to do damage but enough to cause pain -- and inched the desflurane dose up or down according to the pain response until each patient was judged to be at the optimum anesthetic dose.

		Anesthesiologists had anecdotally noticed for decades redheads seem to require more anesthesia during surgery but this is the first study to show it actually is true, Daniel Sessler, a professor of anesthesiology at the University of Louisville, who was involved in the study, told United Press International.
		In the study, which was presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, Sessler's team found that redheaded Caucasian women required 20 percent more anesthesia to block limb movement in response to a painful stimulation than women with dark hair.
		Edwin Liem, also of the University of Louisville, said in a written statement he believes the receptor mutation in redheads triggers release of a hormone that plays a role in increasing pain sensitivity.

		Fiery tresses are widely supposed to be a 'Celtic gene' as all red heads are MC1R variants that derive from European populations and the prevalence of these alleles is highest in Celtic countries.But none of this tells us anything of the superstitions, or why we believe that redheads are fiery and hot-tempered.
