What is the Origin and Reason for Blond Hair?

5:11 Reasons for Blond Hair
What is the origin of blond hair and why did it develop in the first place? Now only around 2 percent of the world's population has naturally blond hair, and it is most common in northern Europe or people who have ancestry connected to Europe, but blond hair is also found across the world, from North Africa to Asia, and even among the native populations in places such as Fiji and the Solomon Islands. But why is this? Why does around 10% of the native population of the Solomon Islands have naturally blond hair? Well more on that latter.
In general, human hair colour is caused by varying amounts of two types of melanin: known eumelanin and pheomelanin.

Lá vem de novo a FAKE do Sul da Sibéria , só que ninguém explica porque hoje na Sibéria e muito menos na China não existem pessoas loiras com olhos azuis ou verdes, essa " ciência " de hoje é toda FAKE baseada no extremismo radical de esquerda pra dizer que os brancos não têm uma terra ancestral que é a Europa , os povos brancos estão em Gênesis 10 5 são descendentes de Jafé e todos são nativos da Europa , já que depois do Dilúvio a Europa foi dada a Jafé por Deus , então há toda lógica na Bíblia e nenhuma na suposta ciência esquerdista , quanto aos povos das Ilhas Salomão também não são loiros , são pubos , no Brasil dizemos sarará
One of my favorite of natural colors is scandinavian/swedish blonde for all over my hair with scandinavian/swedish blonde roots.
My family myth is that we have wheat-blonde hair in our family because when tending the wheat fields giant birds carried away the dark haired cousins, while the pale haired children could hide in the wheat, camouflaged.
Sounds legit. Thanks for sharing.
That's lovely, I'll be using that!
😂 I love it! Family lore is always the best!
My Wife and I both have blue eyes and blonde hair. We were born in England, but now live in Scotland. We have Scandinavian / Germanic DNA. As we were born in the area that was originally called Danelaw we assume that our ancestors were probably Viking settlers.
I did the My Heritage dna test, having a German father and English-American mother. I found out I don't have west European DNA, it's 40% Scandinavian, 35% English, 13% Balkan, 11% Celtic, and 1% Jewish. It was gratifying to learn the Scandinavian factor, as the culture there has always felt familiar and homey. The Balkan part was news to me, but apparently is common for Germans, as there was a wave of migration thousands of years ago from that region of farmer folk. The Jewish part came from my American ancestors which is also pleasant news. I love many Jewish musicians and Klezmer! Now I'm thinking of getting the 23 and Me dna test to learn more detail. I had wondered if I might have gypsy genes, because I more around a lot and had travelling basketmaker ancestors in Wiltshire, but nothing suggests that. Balkan dna doesn't mean gypsy. I'm blonde too by the way. Was always interested in the Vikings. But I think my Scandinavian part comes from my Dad.
When I was a lad my hair was so blonde it was white. The rest of my family is redheaded and blonde. Swedish, Finnish, and Scotsman. Grey eyes too
I am 76 years, my blond hair is now again the same color it was when I was birth to five years.
As I grew I became more "dishwater" (as we say in MN) blond, I wanted blond hair and began changing to a lighter blond at 16.
Once I became 70, I used less and less Sun-In; now at 76 I no longer need to change my hair color lighter, it is as blond as it was when I was a toddler.
I was born with a head full of golden blonde hair but by the time my balls dropped my hair started turning light brown 😂.
That's right; mine went dark at puberty, so I used sun-in lemon and bleach spray, and hair dye to keep it in my adulthood. I burned my scalp, so I don't dye it anymore and I am going bald on top, probably from the dye.
Look at lions as well... the more testosterone they hve, the darker the mane. Not valid for subsaharian hominids.
Same here. Born golden blonde with curls in the back, now I’m dark brown and no curls.
Thats what happens when
My brothers and I were towheads, white blonde, but now in our sixties, our remaining hair is almost black.
My mam had naturally blonde hair with zero grey. She passed away in 2022 💙 thanks for sharing
My daughter is half Puerto Rican. She popped out with a full head of black hair but with one blonde streak.
Oh how cool 😊
The ultimate hair!
My hair was just white my whole life, it is starting to darken now that I am 52, but my eye brows have never changed color, no grey :)
the inhabitants of Europe in the ace age "the WHG" were close to the sea,meaning they had more seafood meaning more vitamin D so they did not need light skin and they had dark skin and hair as well , but the ancient North Eurasians lived far from the sea and did not have sea food so they had less vitamin D ,hence, they needed light skin and light hair to allow the entry of ultraviolet rays into the skin tissue. Light hair is important because it allows the sun’s rays to penetrate the skin of the head more than Dark hair and in cold climates where most of the body is covered, the skin of the head is important for the body to receive sunlight
They hunted willy mammoth tho which is high in vit D.
It Wan not until anatolian farmers moved acroos the alps where their hair started to lighten due to lack of vit D in diet and colder climate
They hunted wolly mammoth tho which means they were not deficient in vit D.
It Was not until anatolian farmers had moved across the alps where the sun rarely shines that they got severe vit D deficiency so they had to develop blonde hair. And their diet lacked vit D
@@azlyri The best source of vitamin D is fishs , mammoth meat is not enough for people living in Siberia without having light skin and hair
Agriculture accelerated the spread of genes for light hair and light skin in Northern Eurasia
Blonde and green eyed American with 2 daughters also blonde and green eyed. Their dad has dark brown hair and blue eyes. Mix of English, Irish, Scottish, German, Scandinavian, and native American.
My grandchildren are blonde with blue eyes. Their dad has dark hair and hazel eyes.
I was blond but my hair started getting darker as i went through puberty.
Me to my hair is a darker golden blondish color

As a kid I had platinum blonde hair growing up in Australia. Now as Celtic Viking at 54 years old I still have blonde hair. But with a Red and white beard. I do know I have Scandinavian genes and Northern England genes! As I
also Dupretayns Contracture.
Keep hydrated with Dupretayn's, it seems to be a contributing factor.
Looked at your pic. You look like a Viking mate. 👍
@@iainmc9859 I first got it 10 years ago in both hands. But over time it disappeared in my left hand.In my right hand I don’t have any issues. I understand now that the older you are when you get it the more complications you can have.
As always, thank you for the lesson. My mother said she was blonde until her late teens. Then her hair turned light brown. Her hair remained brown well into her 80's. Then went to silver. I was born with light brown hair. I am 74 and for the most part my hair is still light brown. My sister and three brother's had dark brown hair like my father. Their hair turned solid gray by the time they were forty five. I am always accused of dyeing my hair but I put it down to good genes and living life in the fast lane. My mother had blue eyes. My father had green eyes. My sister, my brothers and me all have green eyes. The love of my life has brown hair and green eyes.
I have multicolor hair. Blonde, red, brown. I had a blonde stripe down the back of my head in high school but it went away. Some hair is platinum not to be confused with my grey here and there.
My hair was white when I was little. Now it's a dark brown. But my beard is a short of reddish color with some blonde in it.
I am an American of German ancestry on both sides of my family. I was born with very golden blonde hair and blue eyes and retained my blonde hair all my life until I was in my late fifties. It's still blonde but is now a darker shade.
My dad was German, and he had blonde hair and blue eyes. I got the blue eyes, but I missed out on the blonde hair. My daughter however, got the blonde hair and blue eyes. I was envious and happy for her at the same time, as I have to get my blonde hair out of a box.
I was born platinum blonde, and now my hair is dark blonde
As a minority ethnic man originating from China in ancient times, I have seen a couple of kids of my people with dirty blinde hair. I've always been curious as to whether it was due to mixing or an offshoot mutation, such as the Solomon Islands scenario.
There's been stories from the elders about how the Chinese easily identified us by our hair color, when we were being subjugated in the past. Although, out of the thousands I've seen, only a handful have had blondish type hair color. I'd imagine, most that carried that blonde hair gene were killed off.
Admixture is almost 99.9% the given answer to questions like yours . Even when Admixture of Caucasian bloodline is there , it's rare to see due to Minorities having dominant genes . The Islanders, all of them ... Solomon/ Melanasian/ Aboriginals of Australia/ Pacific etc... have a Multiethnic mix that includes African ~ Polynesian ~ Asian Heavily ~ New Guinea and Caucasian. The hype with the Islanders having Blonde hair is overplayed bc very few are naturally light and they still choose partners outside their own communities/ Ethnicities. Any Minority who has genetic traits outside of their Ethnicity / Race is guaranteed due to admixture of another Ethnicity/ Race. Mutations are not why each Ethnicity/ Race is different from each other... We are made that way with different specific genetic traits that belong to ONLY certain Ethnicities. Blonde hair is a Northern European Caucasian Bloodline Genetic Trait and both sides of my family are full of them from generations after generations due to our Ethnicity/ Race . If one of us were born of a different Ethnicity/ Race then it's NOT a Mutation.... we would know exactly 💯 that it was due to admixture of another Ethnicity. Blonde hair is Genetic which is why we keep it in our DNA/ Ethnicity/ Race.
@malindamcpherson6156 That's pretty interesting, I've often wondered about that. Perhaps it occurred during the Ghenghis Kahn era. Also, my younger sister took a lineage test. She was at least 70% Chinese variety & the rest are South East Asian groups. Zero European or African genes in our family line. It's certainly rare now among my people, considering I've only seen it on a couple of occasions. Both instances, little girls. The first child's grandmother also had light hair, although none of her six children had it. You would think after several hundreds or thousands of years of generations of only Asian bloodlines would've wiped out any traces of other types of genetics.
Also hair maybe one thing, but obviously the traits that control eye color don't seem to have any relation. I've certainly never seen it in person or photos of any of my people with anything, but dark brown eyes. According to the legends we also had blue eyes as well as blonde hair. Perhaps eye color are more easily bred out than hair color. The actuality is, it probably wasn't even that many that had it. Myths & legends are greatly exaggerated. According to one study, only 13% of Irish people only have green eyes. Yet, that is what they are known for, as well as red hair. That is also, the greatest percentage of green eyes of all the groups of people in the world. I think the next largest were Scandinavians, at 7% or so.
@holonet1 Super Cool family DNA 💯! The South East Asian Anscestry has Arabic/ Indian/ Chinese and other admixtures , the Arabic bloodline carries Caucasian White genetic traits. Chinese & Asian people are some of the most beautiful people on Earth btw , your hair is perfect silk and your skin is flawless . Whatever Significant DNA you have in your family, it sounds spectacular and rare ✨️.
As a child I was white blonde with pale blue eyes. My hair never changed colour and is still white blonde at 70. Could I have descended from Vikings?
You are probably a Viking =)
I had blonde hair when I was a child now it’s a light brown with blue/ green eyes.. I have Scandinavian and Celtic ancestry!
I was born with white blonde hair with green eyes. 33% Scottish ancestry.
After watching few of your videos it seems I am quite a unique specimen.... Male, with 1,90m slightly above average, blond hair and green eyes with a grey margin. And on top of that, my hair turns brighter in summer and a bit darker in winter.
My hair goes bright blonde in the sun too, cool stuff!
Yes, you're unique.
Sounds like a cousin of mine.
I rarely see men with your description.
I wish there were more.
Blonde hair evolved in northern latitudes like Scandinavia where sunlight is more scarce and clouds more abundant. That would explain the lack of melanin in blond hair like in the skin and eyes. It's just a weather physical adaptation that evolved over time.
if this was the reason, Inuits would have blond hair and blue eyes too..
Within your lifetime it will become known that the actual origin of blonde hair genes is from Pleiadian genetic seeding of Scandinavia long ago in past. Scandavians look like Pleiadians but are shorter in stature than their star relatives
Growing up one of the only dark-haired kids in a mostly Norwegian town was like the Village of the Damned all the kids were blonde and blue-eyed.
I know the feeling :-)
The same is true of rural Minnesota. The majority are blue eyed with blond to light brown hair. I'm a brunette with blue eyes. So I did stand out except on the iron range and the cities.
Same is true in some rural regions in Minnesota. As a blue eyed brunette I stand out .However on the iron range and the cities I blend in.
I went from black hair as a newborn, to blonde, then ginger.
Boring mid brown as an adult 😕
My Norwegian great Grandfather had dark hair and eyes. He almost looked Italian or Jewish. He was from Stavanger, Norway and was an acrobat performer. I still can't figure it out if he was a native son there.. or maybe they came from somewhere else and stayed in Norway.
I have dark brown hair, naturally. My daughters were blond when children. I have seen the Solomon-Iceland type in town, and now I realize that it comes naturally, which is very helpful to know. It is so easy to get the prejudice that this color was only something done in order to «fit in». Blue eyes/dark skin and blond hair/dark skin exist naturally. First time I saw a blue eyed woman, I saw someone who seemed terribly embarassed. I bet she had gotten a lot of staring directed at her. And we all suspected that she was wearing contact lenses. We need to grow up. Thanks.
I was born with flame-red hair. By the time I was six, it turned to ash blonde. So, I’m a rarity now as an ash blonde with brown eyes.
About the Greeks: Odysseus had red hair.
Cheers!
Born in France with a Dutch father and French mother. As a child I was very blond, golden blond with blue eyes. My French mother had Bretons and Alsatian ancestors, later on my hairs became « Châtain clair », now they are gray!
Hi Steven, thank you for another interesting video! What about blond hair among Australian Aborigines? I know that blond hair does occur in this population, especially in children and women. Is the genetic cause of blond hair in Australian Aborigines the same as in the Solomon Islands?
When i was born my blonde hair was so light it almost looked like white, now its a dark yellow color
I am American with very Northern European Roots. [Swedish, German. Russian, Scott, Irish. English] all the females in my family, even my daughter were born pale with pale blonde hair. Also, we all end up covered in sun freckles! 😂 I do believe our hair color changing happens with hormones. Around menstruation age pale blonde turns into a more golden. With every pregnancy, we later have darker blond each time. By menopause, my hair is a dark "dishwater blonde". I have never had to use a hair lightener but just going out in the sun to lighten my hair. I do not have to use lemons and such like other women but my first day out in summer, we all get a huge almost white streak down the front of our hair. I am glad to hear this happens normally to many other born blonds. We grew up being called "toe heads". I have always thought it was weird to have white blond hair for over a decade and it to slowly start darken. One year I missed going outside for the summer, because of illness, and by the start of the next summer, my hair was past my shoulders dark dark blond! I usually wear my hair pinned up. It was a shock. 😂
With our green "color changing eyes", i wondeted if it had someone to do with the -rh gene we have. Thats a crazy rabbit hole to go down. But curious if anyone else has the blonde hair, changing color green eyes, and the -rh gene? And know anything about it?
Also, if it is because of the blonde hair that our hair grows so fast??! I cannot keep a short hair cut because it grows out so fast. As I have gotten older, I gave up on hair styles and just keep my hair pinned up and out of the way. I do know us blonds ten to have thinner hair. My daughter got lucky I am guessing from her father, her hair is very thick, like the native Americans [Choctaw tribe] but still blond.

I lived in Honolulu for 5 years. There was a girl who worked in a neighboring office building and often I would see her walking to lunch. Her golden blonde hair was like a beacon in the sunlight and it attracted nearly everyone’s gaze. I thought the attention was a natural advantage in finding a mate.
Hi from the Black Country, I’m a fella with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. When I was young it was white blonde, my parents and brother were born blonde but went black and brown. Thanks for the videos I enjoy them
My son had the blondest hair as a child, of German and Northern English descent living in Australia, now as an adult he’s got brown hair
My ancestry is 75% German, and rest split between English, Scots, and Irish. As a child, my hair was so light and fine, I was practically a "bleached blonde." It became gold in my teens, and now at 70, it's light blonde again, mixed with grey. I've heard it called "champagne." With curls!
I was born with blonde hair but it started turning dirty blonde by 5 and by 7 it was dark brown. My mother had black hair but my father who had dark brown hair was born with blonde hair so he passed it on to me and my sister. Genetics are very interesting.
I had dark blonde hair as a child, my sister and brother too were blonde but all went dark in later childhood, my partner was copper hair coloured in childhood and freckled but his hair is now brown, his beard and arm hair is red though. He is Irish Scottish and English I am English and Scottish and Iberian Celt mix. I am dark sknned and sallow, very dark eyes and now dark hair but i dye it red
Blondism in European populations is also an infantile trait. In school photos of 6 year olds, in Britain (of natives), perhaps half, or even more, of the children will have light-coloured hair. However, the same class viewed at 11 years of age will show 'fast blonds' to be in a very definite minority. Hair may continue to darken for some people into early adulthood. Being an infantile trait might have something to do with sexual selection, males choosing blond women because they are sending out 'protect me' signals with a trait that is otherwise more prominent in children. It may also play into the 'tall, dark and handsome' male stereotype precisely because women tend to be attracted to men who are fully adult and therefore capable of providing for potential children. Personally, I had white-blond hair as a small child, but was a dark blond by 8, and stabilised at a mid-brown by 12. I had a black beard but still a blondish moustache, later.
Born with very light brown hair but you really couldn’t tell I had any hair until almost 2. Back in the 60s my mom said everyone mistook me for a baby boy because of the lack of it (we didn’t have those cute little “Velcro Bows”🎀 to put in babies hair back then). After that it darkened up to a “medium-dark brown”. It started “sprinkling through (19) while in school for “Cosmetology”. By the time I was in my mid 40s was almost completely “Silver” and NOW it’s “PLATINUM SILVER WHITE”! 👩🏻🦳
my neighbour's grand daughter is called freya, white blonde hair even at 14, North eastern dad so likely to be Viking
There are also indigenes in south america with blonde hair, which would be a 3rd time it evolved (even though some think it is due to an ancient connection between old and new world)
My mom was born with straight white blonde hair and blue eyes. After her 1st birthday my grandmother thought my mom's scalp was dirty but it was not. It was the dark red curls coming in. And her eyes developed brown spots and eventually turned all brown. My son was born with red hair. It was as red as a red crayon. By the time he was three it turned white blonde. When he was a teen it was getting darker. It's now brown and grey.
Has your own hair and eye coloring stayed pretty stable all life long?
@@sleepycalico i take after my dad. He had American Indian ancestry. Dark hair and dark eyes. The only change has been grey hair.
My mom got stopped at the border when we were coming back to the US after 5 years in Mexico. They thought she was trying to smuggle a couple of Mexican kids into the US. I was very dark from playing outside in the sun every day. Glad someone like trump was not in office at the time. We might have been taken away from her and put in some cage. I can't imagine how horrible that would have been.
@@susanfarley1332 You have such an interesting story. Thanks. One of my grandfathers identified as Cherokee but his mom brought him into the white world when he was very young. He visited his cousins on reservation land. Grandpa had some of the most piercing bright blue eyes you'd ever see. Mine are a more ordinary blue-gray. It's fascinating how our DNA combines.
My dad had forest green eyes when I was a kid. One day I said, Dad! When did your eyes turn BLUE?!?! He laughed. Dunno, I'm not the one looking at them much. lol
And, yes, it is just horrifying we had that psychopath for our president.
In Madagascar, many people have dark blond hair during childhood but it only happens to people from the coast who are very mixed and less asian like.
i was born blond and was blondish up till i was 15-16 years old, after that it started to get darker but i had lots of dark red hair especially in my beard.
i now have grey and white hair at 47, my beard is almost totally white apart from the mustache that is dark brown and my body hair is now dark brown and white.

I was blonde as child. My hair turned to light brown at about 10 years old. I have hazel eyes. R1b-L1335 S764 744 West Highland Gael Paternal DNA. However, I am an American mutt with mix of almost all west European countries.
By mutt, you mean n166a DNA?
Your username caught my attention. I usually see names like that used by the so-called "Hebrew Israelite" crowd. I see you have a playlist with some content on the subject of Israelite identity. I do too if you'd care to take a look at my own. God bless. ✝️
My hair is a mixture of red and blonde. But I have a very dark amber mustache and beard😂
I was born with blond hair but it darkened to gold over time. My Ancestors were Highlanders.
i went dark as i entered early teens, Scottish and English mixed
My hair was dirty blonde as a child and now is medium dark brown to dark brown. I have lots of Iberian roots though
I had white blonde hair as a child.
My cousins did too.
It got darker as i got older.
Used to put highlights in it, or lighten it, but now i dye it auburn.
I still like blonde hair though.
My hair was originally blond but my mother changed it in my early childhood when she used some remedy she found in magazine (louses visited my hair in school and wanted to stay there).
The process was very stressful and painful(to scream but she silenced me not to wake up father).
After sleepless night(and period of time) my hair because of stress or chemicals became darker
I am still missing my hair color today after so many years. Some damage was done to my hair.
So people beware of using remedies (some can harm you).
I was borne with platinum blonde hair people used to say it actually glowed in the dark. Blue eyes also. 40 years down the road and my hair has alot of red in it and my eyes are more like green now.
My hair was a straw blonde when I was a kid but when I hit puberty it turned to a dirty blonde light brown. I also have blue eyes
I find theories of sexual selection that revolve around the attractiveness of females a bit weird. Females who want to reproduce generally can, not so with males. Granted, attractive females can attract higher status males, who often had more power to protect and provide for their offspring, leading to an indirect survival advantage, since while the "ugly" women are also having babies, it is either with higher status males providing no commitment to them and their offspring (which seems to the ugly state of nature in modern, promiscuous times, now that religion and culture are no longer successful at enforcing monogamy) since they only invest in higher value mates (men will f*ck anything since let's face it, sperm is cheap, but only commit to and invest in those they value) or with less successful / lower status males, who only occasionally manage to change their lot in life enough to improve the odds for their children. Admittedly, especially in modern times, women will often pick rather ridiculous cues (height?) as signposts of the prospects of male success, so we are perhaps becoming like peacocks in that sexual selection is not that well correlated with natural selection (except in terms of impregnating more females). But in Western urban societies, money is becoming the dominant selection criterion, which as disgusting as it sounds, may be accurate as a status / success-of-children indicator. With current laws (no fault divorce, nearly universal bias towards female custody), though, many of the more intelligent/circumspect (traits also correlated with success) males are getting very suspicious of women, seeing most as ammoral goldiggers, and are taking themselves out of the gene pool by refusing to marry given the legal risks of modern marriage (ie of divorce, since marriage is now one of the most worthless / non-enforcible contracts available in our societies). We may be headed to a new Dark Age.
Men used to kill other men who'd make a pass at their women. Adultery got worse. Everybody understood. The world will go back to being that way because it works.
The Solomon Islanders is more in line of bleaching via being in the sun most of the time, than actual blonde. Natural Blondes also have 2x the amount of hair strands than any other hair colour
Why don't all of them bleach? Why don't people in other countries in Africa and the Middle East all have blond hair. South Asians such as Indians have jet black hair despite working in the hot sun all day
Blond as a child. it went light brown in my 20's and is now grey/silver/white.
Im strawberry blonde , everyone in the family is a variation of blonde , or red . All blue eyed . Irish background
Red (orange) beard, though I am getting more white hairs there with age. White hair doesn't show up on my scalp, which has been a very pale blond since childhood
My hair was light blonde as a kid now it’s more dirty blonde. If I get enough sun on it, it’s platinum blonde though 😂 crazy how much the sun can change hair.
It's weird but I was born with a full head of black curly hair and violet eyes, then my hair turned light golden blonde and my eyes turned hazel that turn greenish with my moods. I'm a mishmash of European genetics. I guess I'm a Hines 57.
My hair and eyes have changed from blonde to blondish redish and from blue to mostly green.
@@russ549 You possess one of the rarest eye colors on the planet combined with that beautiful head of red hair, you must be a real looker. My adult son is absolutely crazy for pretty women with red hair and green eyes, he would love nothing more than to fall madly and mutually in love with a buxom red headed beauty and make beautiful red haired babies.
My Dad and I are natural blonds. And we stayed blonde. All of the grandchildren on my dad's side were born blonde except one. About 50% stayed blonde. But my maiden name is of Norwegian origin.
I was born Platinum blonde and as I grew towards puberty it turned a light brown but it depends on how the light falls on it as it can look Red, blonde or brown. My eyes are blue and my beard was mixed as above but mainly red. I need extra anaesthetic but less opioids and I have a high resistence to some pain. Opioids knock me sideways haha. Hate them.
My hair was a very light golden blond until about 11yr old now its a darker golden blondish color with a few white strands now but if i spend time in the sun it gets a bit lighter .
Blond hair is beautiful
The most Scottish accent ever!
I had blackish brown hair and on my arms I have still blonde hair thank you including the tarim mummys this is interesting cheers and more coffee toddys for you thanks
13 in my family 8 girls 5 boys 10 had blonde hair 3 brown to dark brown, all of the girls hair kept getting darker the boys stayed lighter and slowly mixed with brown ,except my male twin he had brown from a young age ,my hair stayed blonde and now in my 50 years some light brown mixed but mostly real blonde not the fake blonde. was told threw a family member later in my years are ansetery was originally from the black sea area? ,never looked into it however now I'm a little curious because over the years people have commented about my hair some with a jealous tone others with a compliment, myself I did not think much about it at all hair was hair no matter the color,some more attractive and healthy looking and I considered that to be the beauty not the color..
I was born towheaded and with a mallen streak in the natural left part of my hair. My hiar darkened over time so the streak even stuck out more. Actually annoyed me as a boy in grade-school, every lady, even nuns would play with it (I went to a Catholic Parochial school). They'd say things like oh, girls would love that in their hair. I'm also green-eyed, born a lefty. - guess recessive traits show.
I'm American and my heritage Polish/Lithuanian my father's parents born in the1890's and grandparents born in 1860's near Suwalki Poland, I'm Welsh/Irish on my mothers. So, yes both blondes and red-heads - my mother was a redhead - run in our family, most the males darker in tint over time. Think platinum to gold in the women straw to nearly dirty to mousey in the men.
I'm sixty-one years old, 6' tall, full beard and my hair is long (near center back) and wavy, If I had my wife put a small braid on both sides of my face, then we tossed a 9th century helm on my head I'd pass as a Scandinavian raider. 😛
European. Blonde as an infant and at 3, but dark blonde by the time I was 5. Hazel eyes.
Saludos desde Galicia, España! I have 3 kids a boy and 2 girls all blonde, but the boy is still blonde, now is 37 and his hair is the same, however the girls now have a light brown hair. For us is weird. Thanks for the explanation, and sorry for my English. I'm a MD in a little town by the sea, and most of people have light hair and blue eyes.
My parents are celtic, german and English and I'm naturally blonde ( white blonde up to about 12 years old then darker blonde, with green/blue eyes depending on the daylight. If I tear up my eyes go very green, but if it's a very sunny blue sky they look blue, if a dull cloudy day, more green. I often wonder why there are meant to be so few of us population wise and there are millions more dark haired and olive to darker skin people in the world and yet European and USA media and fashion pushes blonde hair and light eyes for females and dark hair tan skin for men. It's getting more even now but growing up it was unbalanced to actual population. I used to yearn for jet black hair and would love to have darker skin that doesn't freckle and I could spend more time in the sun.
I had Dark roots.. Red in the middle & blonde tips..as a teen-ager 😳
I've seen African albinos with blonde hair. Apparently blonde hair is the default with albinos from dark-skinned populations. However albinos from European populations tend to have white hair.
That is not natural.... it is a defect via no Melanin, every class of human has that possibility of it plus it can result in their eyes are also red.
To be fair Albinos don’t have “blonde hair”. With Albinism since it lacks pigmentation in both the skin and hair. But I understand what you were getting at. ✌🏻
@@cynsi7604 I've seen real life African and South Asian albinos with golden-blonde hair (not the Melanesian blonde colour). It is 'blonde'. Google some images. 👌
Albinos in parts of southern Africa hunted down for supposed strong "ju ju"
I was blonde kid now darkened out to dark brown hair
My older brother had bright red hair, my late sister had strawberry blond and I had dark blond hair until it went grey but as far as I know no one else in my family had red or blond hair. So it must go back further than the generation's I am aware of
light brown, but as a youngster in summer I would get some blond hair at the top of my head, I think it's due to my photobleaching genes, which I know I have, but I will check my genes tonight to see, now they are just getting grey on top,😔 but my youngest sister is dark blond. also, mountainous Greeks like my dad have light hair compared to coast Greeks.
Now confused rs1393350 AA, blue rather than green eyes 1.52 times, I suspect the other genes counteract this one, Blond rather than brown hair 1.29 times, I suspect other genes are countering this, but I could be wrong since one of my cousins has nearly 100% blonde hair and is the son of dad's twin brother. Skin sensitivity to sun 1.26 times, I did burn easily but have counteracted that with vitamin A and nicotinamide. Then again his mum also came from the same mountainous region of western central Greece.
My hair goes very light in the summer. I am a blonde/ light brown and blue eyes. I love blonde and redhead women. Why I love.Finnish women I guess. But shorter my hair the darker it is.
I have green eyes and strawberry blonde hair.
Myself I was born with dark black hair but my daughter was born with a full head of blonde
Did you kill your wife because she cheated you?
@zeljkomikulicic4378 never been married because of my family issues
My light brown hair turned blonde by the end of summer after swimming in our pool every day, but my blue eyes stayed the same
I used to have blond hair when I was 3 years old, but as I grew up, my hair color turned darker and darker. It's dark brown now, not even close to blond lol
My natural hair is reddish blonde, my brother's is dark blonde. Even though our mom had dark brown and our dad's was black. I know we got it from our grandparents. I wonder how many generations recessive genes can just keep being passed on but not seen til later? And what causes red blonde hair? Is it considered genetically red or blonde? 🤔
I had blonde hair until 2 years old then it went dark brown. Now it's gray, so it no longer matters...
What actually is considered blonde hair seems to vary from one country to the next. Personally I would only call pale yellow coloured hair as blonde. Which is usually only found naturally in northern and eastern Europe. But Ive heard people from southern Europe describe people with light brown to brunette hair as being blonde. A lot children from northern Europe have blonde hair when they are children but darkens as they grown into adults.
Yes but there are also light blonde people in southern Europe, as well as there are dirty blonde people in Scandinavia.
@@user-vc8on7fm2o Yes true, I wouldnt dispute that. Though I have heard southern European people describe someone as 'blonde,' when to me that person had light brown hair. Just pointing out that the definition of 'blonde' sometimes is subjective.
I have been in a number of countries where there are LOTS of blonde women (bleach blondes) and no blond men.
I had blonde hair as a child, then it turned a dirty blond until my 30's and now it's more of a honey brown, but it still looks like I have no eyebrows 😅 I'm Scottish, Danish, North German and English.
Same!
I was born with blond hair so blond I was a towheaded but as I got older it turn more in to a dirty blond but my arm air is mostly light blond still
My mother was blond, blue eyed, with a light complexion (dyed hair as she got older). My father was brown eyed and brown haired, with a somewhat swarthy complexion. My siblings had a wide range of eye color, hair color, and complexions. My kids were blonds at birth, but got darker as they got older, and now I have no clue on what their natural hair color is! I've seen blond, black, green, and blue during high school. One kid is fair enough that they could be called blue-blooded, the other tanned as a baby in the living room.
Tanned as a baby in the living room? Those must've been some strong bulbs you had in there at the time.

@@richdobbs6595 Got it. Thanks.
Red hair...here ...in childhood.....faded to sand ...in adolescence ..... Norwegian/Celtic ancestry ..........
I’m blonde but once I hit my 50s it started going an ash colour but I have a mallen streak in the front
I was born bald, when my hair came out it was white, as i grew older it darkened. My mom said it had to darken so it could turn gray.
I was born with lots of black shiny curls and one white hair right at the crown.
My grandson Robert who is 2 years old has very light blonde hair with brown eyes.
I have natural blond hair with green eyes, White tanned-skin, Scandinavian facial-features and stand 6'1 yet both my parents are from Mexico~ can anyone explain this😂🎉?
It's kinda like the white couple who had a black baby.. Father thought she had cheated, but she had not. They discovered there was a black grandmother about 7 generations back, and the genes had leaped all the way to the baby. Quite amazing genes can do that!!!
@mmhthree but both my parents are blonde as well
My husband was straw blonde as a child, ash brown as an adult, and has a red beard..
How does that work? Two different pathways for encoding? He must carry a recessive redhead gene?
MY hair is a darkest brown but I have red undertones you can see in the sun. People say my hair is black, but the tones say otherwise.
Yes we all have two genes that determine hair color. He got one Blond and on redhead gene.
Same here white blonde as a child. Then medium brown. Now silver.
Facial hair was brown and reddish above jawline....nearly black below jawline
Im mostly Norse and had blond hair until about 14 when the testosterone kicked in. Then it went red/brown, but im a 1/4 ginger lol.
I was blonde up until kindergarten; thereafter my hair got darker.
