    Generally, the intermediate to dark shades would be included in the dark brown category. While, the intermediate to light shades would be included in the light brown category.

    Dark hair is a common Icelandic trait regardless of morphology.

    Dark hair doesn't necessarily mean black!

    The region in Northern Europe which had the highest frequency of black hair is Lappland (in Northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia). The old Samis were purely black-haired people, until heavy mixing with their predominantly blond-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned southern Germanic neighbors had reduced greatly black hair. In other parts, black hair is very rare, though dark brown is common ( e.g. in Fehmarn, Northern Germany, Wales, Ireland, Northern Sweden etc...)

    Reminds me of the lead character in “The Girl King”. Bitch was an ethnic Swede but looked NOTHING like most Scandinavians.

I think people might be confusing black hair with dark brown hair and even though Southern Germany or SouthWest Germany is not in Northern Europe, technically, I'd say you would find darker hair there (not necessarily quantatively but qualitatively ) and they are still considered 'Germanics' . England = West Germanics NOT North Germanics (this last comment is not directed at you per se but there are other people reading this).

    I'm not saying these are the most common looks per se but since this is a thread about dark hair :





    This one is more exotic than myself she is from Liverpool which is right by Wales so that might explain it :

    I'm not saying these are the most common looks per se but since this is a thread about dark hair :
    I agree except that I should point out that though the english people and language are west germanic, they are perhaps the closest to the north germanic branch without actually being in it, there are many old english words you'll only find cognates with in Old Norse and Gothic, and not Dutch or Old High German or even Frisian. This is of course not counting the literal norse admixture both genetically and linguistically, although I may point out more relevant to the topic at hand is that the english are not as blonde as their other Germanic cousins north of the alps because of old Brythonic (or Welsh you could say) admixture, when has proven to be fairly high in all regions except East Anglia and Kent, where it is only moderately high.
