A persons pigment called melanin gives the skin and hair it's color. In hair melanin is found in the cortex which is the hair second layer.

Genes in a human body determines the number of melanocytes in the hair and the type of melanin it produces. The size and type of melanosomes will determine the natural color of the hair.

There are two types of melanin, eumelanin(brown/black) and pheomelanin (red).
