Did You Know!
Human hair color is determined by the amount and type of melanin pigment present in the hair shaft. There are two types of melanin: eumelanin, which is responsible for black and brown colors, and pheomelanin, which produces red and yellow hues. The combination and concentration of these pigments, along with other factors like genetics and environmental influences, result in the wide range of hair colors observed among different individuals. Additionally, hair color can change over time due to factors such as aging and hormonal changes.
