Natural Hair Colors

Hair color is the pigmentation of hair follicles due to the two types of melanin, eumelanin and phaeomelanin. Generally, if more melanin present in the hair the color of the hair is darker; if less melanin is present, the hair color is lighter. A person's hair color may change over time due to the varying levels of melanin, and some hair can have follicles of more than one color. Due to immigration and global travel, there exist considerable differences in the hair colors of individuals, even between individuals of similar ethnicity, creating a greatly increased diversity of hair color.

Natural hair color is black, brown, blonde, or red, depending on a person's ethnic origins. Hair color is genetically associated with certain skin tones and eye colors.

• Black hair is the darkest and most common color of human hair.
• Brown hair is found amongst people of European ethnicities. It is the second most common hair color. Brown-haired people are also known as brunettes, although this term is usually applied only to females and rarely used to describe males with brown hair.
• Blond hair ranges from nearly white (platinum blond, tow-haired) to a dark golden blond. Strawberry blond, a mixture of blond and red hair found predominantly in Ireland, is an especially rare type. Blond hair is common in many European peoples, but rare among others. Many children born with blonde hair may develop darker hair as they age.
• Red hair ranges from vivid strawberry shades to deep auburn and burgundy, and is the rarest hair color on earth.
