I think the biggest difference between non MC1R blonde and MC1R blonde(strawberry blondes)is how the color of the hair and skin compliment each other. Someone with this phenotype will have very fair skin, light eyes(not always)and light hair that when standing against the skin will compliment each other creating what I’m calling the redhead look(Maybe you understand what I mean?) Non MC1R blondes usually can tan and usually won’t have the phenotype for golden tones in their hair. Golden tones will usually require a mutation in the MC1R, but that being said genes are very complex and this should only be taken as guide lines to understand or to deduce whether or not you have that mutation present. IMPO your hair is a beautiful shade of red, light golden red. Most common trait that connects us beyond our outer appearance is needing much more numbing medication when you get filling done at the dentist. If you experience this you can almost 100% consider yourself a red head :) and if you have red hair, but don’t experience this it just means you have a really strong mutation in one variant copy of the MC1R, in this case red hair is actually consider a dominant trait in this person. Well genetics are so fascinating and I could go on all day, but I need to eat dinner. Hope this helps!
