Answer: Pigment.

Explanation: Our hair color is determined by two types of pigment, Eumelanins, and Pheomelanins. Which together produces all the natural hair colors we see every day with other people.

Gideon Lopez · Answer 2

Answer: The pigmentation of hairs is composed by different levels of eumelanin and pheomelanin. These pigments combined compose all the colours of hair. The more quantity of eumelanin the darker the hair is. Also, the level of the composition can vary over time, causing changes on the colour of the hair.
