Red Hair: Saint Dominic and Bernard of Clairvaux

Some red-haired saints now.

I found the following in this work: Lives of Saints with Other Feasts of the Year According to the Roman Calendar. Published in 1669, an English translation. The original by Pedro de Ribadeneira, the Spanish Jesuit and hagiographer we referenced just a few days ago, in our post about the Virgin Mary.

Firstly, we have a description of Saint Dominic (as usual, I've left the alternate spellings as is):

Saint Dominik was of a midle stature, and a most comly person, his face long, his nose bowing like a hawkes bill, his hair somewhat red, the color of his face white, his head more gray then his beard, his hair very thick, so that there was no appearance that he would become bald

I found this description echoed on Wikipedia, where it states that a Dominican nun called Cecilia Cesarini (1203-1290) described him as having "reddish hair and beard and beautiful eyes ..His hands were long and fine and his voice pleasingly resonant. He never got bald, though he wore the full tonsure, which was mingled with a few grey hairs." I'm guessing this will be the origin of the above description.

Secondly, we have a description of Bernard of Clairvaux:

in his eyes was resplendent an Angelical purity, and the simplicity of a dove. His body was so wasted and worn away, that he seemed to be nothing but skin and bones; his face was ruddie, his hair and beard red, and in his old age white, of a middle stature, rather tall then low.
