We say 'inner redhead' because Amy Poehler's youngest son with Will Arnett - Abel - has a bright crop of the gruaig rua gracing his lovely head, so the gene is charging around somewhere in there.
STFU. @smrtgrls is a redhead! http://t.co/t5RVjTHSMd pic.twitter.com/raUvGl40cS

The 43-year-old actress/writer/presenter/general goddess - who was clearly affected by her recent visit to these shores (we all have red hair here sure, check yer beard if you need further confirmation) - unleashed the new doo at the 60th Anniversary of Allen Ginsberg's Howl With Music, Words, and Funny People event in LA on Tuesday.
As for reaction at large, people are thrilled.
Now that Amy Poehler is a redhead I officially can hold my head up high

As for why she died her hair red, one can only assume she thought "How could I possibly be even more deadly?"
Have you ever gone red? How did you find the transition? Did it dry your hair? Did you go with a natural option like Henna? Did you get "GINGER!!" roared in your face like I do on a regular basis?
