pelirrojo, adjective:
red-haired, red-headed

Red hair is not very common in the Spanish-speaking world, though in Celtic influenced north-west Spain it is possibly more common than elsewhere.

un adolescente pecoso y pelirrojo
a freckled, red-haired teenager

Using the same prefix, peli-, you can describe someone long-haired as pelilargo:

No me atraen los pelilargos.
I’m not attracted to guys with long hair.
