Is hair type a genotype or a phenotype?

The genotype is the combination of genes, for example, one inherited brown hair gene is a B (dominant), and one blond hair gene is a b (recessive). The possible genotypes in this example are BB, Bb, and bb. A phenotype is the real-world description of the trait, so the phenotypes for the genotypes listed above would be, in order, brown, brown, and blond. obviously, this is a simplified example. Possible phenotypes for hair color vary widely, and are ever natural color of hair possible: black, brown, light brown, blonde, red, strawberry blonde, etc.
