Because there are too many fake ones out there and everything in between! None of them look natural at all!

They're not 'disliked' as such in the UK, it's more of a long-term injoke. I dont know the origin, I think it's just because it's quite a rare hair colour, it looks unnatural and stands out quite a bit.

I think it's because there was once a large number of redheads immigrating into the US and they were poor, as many immigrants are, and people thought they brought trouble with them. Redheads developed a reputation for being hot headed. The redheads in my family (Sis and I) were always treated as special, and admired. My new grandson is a redhead. Edit: see this excellent wikipedia article about it: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/171787

First of all I used to date a redheaded male and his mother was redheaded. His mother was the sweetest and most mild tempered red head that I had ever before encountered. So from that time on I've decided that red heads being hot tempered must have been a myth. It is just too bad that when ever someone sees a redheaded person they think they must be hot tempered. My ex-boyfriend who was/is an alcoholic was only mean to me when he was drunk. Other times he was the sweetest man I knew. :-)
