The short answer is that both your parents have a red hair gene, but they don’t have red hair because their second gene is stronger (more dominant). If this happens with parents, there is a 25% chance that one of their children will get 2 red hair genes, and then have red hair (you!). In other words, if they had 4 children, most likely one of them would have red hair.
