Why is your hair color they color it is?
Hair color is caused by the pigments in your body. The less pigment you have the lighter your hair. Less pigment also means you will have lighter skin that is why people who have darker skin have darker natural hair usually and why people with lighter skin have lighter hair. the amount of pigment you have depends on who your parents are. If your parents have more pigment you will probably have more pigment and if your parents have less pigment you will probably have less. Hope this helps! :)

Thin hair or thick hair causes more static?
Thin hair. It reacts to electricity differently than thick hair, and causes more static. The wetness of hair affects static, as well. Dry hair conducts the energy better.

So in general, lighter hair conducts electricity better, but that's due to its texture. Light hair can be thick and dark hair can be thin, albeit rarely.
