Natural hair pigmentation is primarily determined by the presence of melanin, a pigment produced by melanocytes in the hair follicles. There are two types of melanin: eumelanin, which comes in black or brown shades, and pheomelanin, which gives hair a yellow or red hue. The ratio and distribution of these pigments result in the wide variety of hair colors seen in individuals, with darker hair containing more eumelanin and lighter hair having less. Additionally, factors like genetics and environmental exposure can influence hair pigmentation over time.
