It's due to the genetic differences obviously!

There are specific genes for specific characters in the human body or any organism, like hair/skin color, height, eyesight, etc. Therefore people having different genes have different characteristics.

All people have there own hair color right? Yes, because each person has a specific amount of melanin,the thing that gives your hair it's color.

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! :)
