No, he probably didn’t have red hair. Hair that old begins a chemical process that turns it red. Common misconception.

Yes his hair was red.

The hair on the mummy was dyed red from henna, but it really was red originally.

French scientists studied the roots under an atomic microscope and determined the DNA was for red wavy hair. I have no idea how that is done but they are sure of it.
