Morphology

red-header = redhead (transparent) = red + head

The sense is a straightforward variant of 'redhead' (red + head), so the meaning is directly compositional and easily inferred.

Etymology

Red-header is made from the parts red, head and the ending -er, so it literally means 'a person with a red head', like the common word redhead, and that's why it means someone who has red hair.
