The Sixth-Dynasty Egyptian King Neferkare, also known as Pepi II, had red hair according to the Pyramid Texts:

He is referred to there as "N". The text says:
"697a. To say: N. is come from Buto, red as a flame, living as Khepri."
"701a. O bulls of Atum,
701b. make N. fresh, refresh N. more than the red crown which is upon his head;"
He also didn't drink urine, which was apparently remarkable enough at the time to engrave that fact on the wall in a chamber in a pyramid:
"718a. The abomination of N. is offal; he rejects urine;
718b. he drinks it not."
Red hair. No drinking urine.
