7 Type Natural Human Hair Colors

Hair color is influenced by the pigmentation of the hair follicles of melamine is eumelanin and pheomelanin. If the levels of eumelanin in the hair more then the hair will become darker, if eumelamin lower then the hair is lighter. Levels of melanin can vary from time to time cause someone to change hair color, and it is possible to have more hair follicles from one color to the same person.

7 Natural Human Hair Colors :

1. Black Hair, Black hair is the darkest color. It has large amounts of eumelanin and is less dense than other hair colors. It can range from brown-black, blue-black or jet-black.

2. Brown Hair, brown hair is characterized by higher levels of eumelanin and lower levels of pheomelanin. Of the two types of eumelanin (black and brown), brown-haired people have brown eumelanin; they also usually have medium-thick strands of hair. Brown-haired girls or women are often known as brunette.

3. Blond Hair, Blond (or blonde) hair ranges from nearly white (platinum blond, tow-haired) to a dark golden blond. Strawberry blond, a mixture of blond and red hair, is a much rarer type containing the most pheomelanin.

Blond hair is most commonly found in Northern and Western Europeans and their descendants but can be found spread around most of Europe. Blond hair is rare outside of Europe but can also be found in populations in South America, Israel and Australia.

4. Auburn Hair, ranges along a spectrum of light to dark red-brown shades. The chemicals which cause auburn hair are eumelanin (brown) and pheomelanin (red), with a higher proportion of red-causing pheomelanin than is found in average brown hair. It is most commonly found in individuals of Northern and Western European descent.

5. Chestnut Hair, is a hair color which is a reddish shade of brown hair. In contrast to auburn hair, the reddish shade of chestnut is darker. Chestnut hair is common among the native peoples of Northern, Central, Western, and Eastern Europe and Israel.

6. Red Hair, ranges from light strawberry blond shades to titian, copper and less commonly "true" red. It is caused by a variation in the Mc1r gene and is recessive. Red hair has the highest amounts of pheomelanin, around 67%, and usually low levels of eumelanin. At 1-2% of the population, it is the least common hair color in the world. It is most prominently found in Scotland, Ireland and England. Scotland has the highest proportion of redheads; 13 percent of the population has red hair and approximately 40 percent carries the recessive redhead gene.

7. Gray And White Hair, sometimes colloquially called "salt and pepper" when it is 'peppered' throughout dark hair—is not caused by a true gray or white pigment, but is due to a lack of pigmentation and melanin. The clear hairs appear as gray or white because of the way light is reflected from the hairs. Gray hair color typically occurs naturally as people age. For some people this can happen at a very young age (for example, at the age of 10). The same is true for children with white hair, caused by Albinism.

In some cases, gray hair may be caused by thyroid deficiencies, Waardenburg syndrome or a vitamin B12 deficiency. At some point in the human life cycle, cells that are located in the base of the hair's follicles slow, and eventually stop producing pigment. Piebaldism is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of melanocyte development, which may cause a congenital white forelock.

White people often begin to gray in their twenties and early thirties while Asian people begin graying in their late thirties, but most African people sometimes retain their original hair color until their mid-forties (in reality this varies a lot). People with albinism may have white hair due to low amounts of melanin.
