Hair Color

8K14811

Hair color is a visible genetic trait determined by the type and amount of melanin pigment in your hair, resulting in a range of shades from black and brown to blonde and red. Research shows that variations near genes involved in pigmentation (like MC1R, OCA2, and TYRP1) play a major role in determining hair color div...
