person who has red hair

A person who has natural red hair.

Padron ng paggamit: [someone] is a redhead
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes say *"I am redhead"* without an article. In English, you usually say *"I am a redhead"* or *"I have red hair"*. Another confusion is using *"redhead"* for hair itself (e.g. *"I have redhead"*), but you should say *"I have red hair"*.
