British Hair Colour and Eye Colour Percentage

[Dick]

Saw a fair amount of blondes and blonds in England. Not so many redheads, on the other hand.

They're all in Scotland.

Correct most Brits are fine-featured with very thin lips, prominent noses, very light eyes especially blue and brown hair ( especially adults).

Sounds legit.

Many false assumptions were told! All counties of what makes up England are way above the 10% blonde hair mark by the way. In fact 11% of the Portuguese have blond hair and England or any British Isles' country is much lighter than Portugal! England is the lightest-haired of all the countries in the British Islands. Some regions of northern Portugal go almost as high as nearly 15% for blond hair, the same is seen in the northern regions of Spain and Italy! So don't expect England to be darker than that!
The darkest-haired county of England is not Cornwall, rather Wiltshire. Wiltshire is 3% red-haired, 25% blond, 72% brown.

11% of portugal isnt blonde, the figures are way off, 1 in 9 portuguese wouldnt be considered blonde for central or northern european standards... 15-20 % of british isles are blonde, Ireland is barely 12-15% blond.

Rubbish!!! Firstly blond hair has a wide spectrum of variations. So stop with the ridiculous biased exaggeration. Yes, the Portuguese average for blond hair is 11%, reaching the highest in Povoa Vardim in the north ranging from 14.3-15.1%, while in the rest of Northern Portugal at a range of 10-12.5% and furthermore no region in the whole of Portugal is below 5% for blond hair. Though most of their blond hair is within the dark(golden)blond or very light( golden) brown shades, rarely the light/medium(ashen/golden) blond tones mostly seen in Northern and Central European populations.
On the other hand, as a whole 8.2% of Italians are blond-haired, though Northern Italian regions are well above the 8.2% mark, hovering around 12%, while Sardinia is very dark.
9.5% of Spaniards are blonds, 10.7% of Greeks and 12% of Bulgarians. It's France which has a 15-20% range for blond hair, North-West and North-East France is above the 20% mark. Belgium is also above the 20% mark for blond hair.

Well England as a whole is less red-haired than Wales, Scotland or Ireland, but has a higher frequency of blonds than those three respective countries. For example Ireland which is more homogenous than England show very little variations between its region and approximately 23% of the Irish are blond-haired, though when comparing it to England, there is a much greater variation in the frequency of blond hair, also affected by the Anglo-Saxon invasion. Regions with higher Anglo-Saxon genetic signatures are more blond than those without.

Red hair depending on the definition varies from 10-30% in Ireland, 10-25% in Scotland, 10-15% in Wales, 3-15% in England. No region/county of England is below 20% for blond hair, and most were made to believe Cornwall is "the least blond" county of England, it isn't. Cornwall isn't northern Italy or Portugal where around 10-12% are blond. Cornwall is not any different from Flanders(Belgium)!
Cornwall = 30%
These counties are les blond than Cornwall
Somerset = 28%
Worcestershire = 28%
Derbyshire = 25%
Wiltshire = 25%
West Sussex = 22%
