    Default Hair colour of British People according to the UK biobank

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s414...691-z/tables/1
    Total
    Red 15,731 (4.6%)
    Blonde 39,397 (11.5%)
    Light brown 141,414 (41.1%)
    Dark brown 127,980 (37.2%)
    Black 14,526 (4.2%)
    Other/NA
    Total 158,951 184,928 343,884

    https://www.researchgate.net/publica...-by-gender.png click that link its clearer in the photo and you can see gender breakdown, only 1% of women have black hair! Interesting...

    I asked those who conducted the study on twitter and peoples Hair colour prior to incidence of greying was noted, so probably late 20s early 30's, you had to be white and british/irish or northwest European to be asked to be included. They aimed to include people all across the UK.


    total Light haired (light brown/blonde/red): 57.2% Dark: 42.8% (dark brown, black)


    Interestingly the study found that there is lots of Genes to code for blonde hair, but only 1 gene to code for Ginger hair.


    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ocks-tail.html

    Eye colour is 50% blue, 30% green, and 20% brown roughly according to the largest study of British Eye colour as reported by the dailymail. These are the largest studies on British Hair and eyes to date.

    Thoughts?

    Only if you include only pure light blonds and clear reds as ''blond'' and ''red'', dark blond,auburn and redish blond shades have been propably included in the ''light brown'' category...

    Hair colour prior to first incidence of greying as adults https://www.nature.com/articles/s414...691-z/tables/1


    Light: 57.2% Dark: 42.8%


    Interestingly there is lots of Genes to code for blonde hair, but only 1 gene to code for Ginger hair.

    Thoughts?
    This classification is mediocre because she don't include medium brown.
    According to my observations i would have said 20-25% blonds, 20 % light brown, 5 % red; 20 % medium brown, 25-30% dark brown or black.

    I see british men are darker than women, and yet usually, women are darker pigmented than men.

    this is adults by the way, asked prior to greying, from the largest study on british hair colour? According to the study men do actually have darker hair than women and this is genetic, though self reporting bias may play a role too!

    Yes they noted in the study many men seemed to report darker hair than they actually had whereas it seemed correct for women.
