The hair on the head of Hatshepsut's mummy is red, but it's not clear whether this was her natural colour, a dye or the result of a chemical process.
Some say it was natural:
- "The mummy had the typical queen's posture and still had long blond-red hair which was the color of Hatshepsut hair." http://www.bukisa.com/…/395549_hatshepsut-the-egyptian-quee…
The only way to ascertain the truth would be an analysis of the
follicles (as in the case of Ramses II), and I'm surprised they haven't
done it yet.
