Carroty-hair, red hair. A term common alike to England and America.
While "Tall-and-thin," with his hair all carroty,
Looks thrice as red, with fright, as his head,
And his face bounds plump, at a single jump,
Into horror, and out of hilarity!--New Tale of a Tub.
Seth's short, bow-legged figure was thatched with the most obstinate bunch of carroty hair that ever bid defiance to bear's oil.--Robb, Squatter Life.
