Our natural hair color is a result of two types of hair pigments. Both of these pigments are melanin types, produced inside the hair follicle and packed into granules found in the fibers.
Brown & Black Hair
Is a result of eumelanin pigment in the hair.
Red Hair
Is a result of pheomelanin pigment in the hair.
Blond hair
Is the result of having little pigmentation in the hair strand.
Gray hair
Occurs when melanin production decreases or stops.
Most people think that our hair has many different pigments, when in fact it does not. We hope you enjoy this graphic which depicts hair pigment and texture.
