Color of your hair is depending on the amount of melanin in your hair follicles. More melanin content makes the hair darker and less melanin make your hair lighter. With your age, levels of melanin may also vary. It is also possible to have more than one color due to the amount of melanin. Also your hair color is associated with your ethnicity. Color of your hair is measured by Fischer-Saller scale using the English alphabet and Roman numerals. Main colors include blond (light, dark and blond), brown (dark, brown and black), red, and red blond.
Changes in hair color occur naturally as we age. A person born with a lighter hair may get darker as he or she age. When you are old your hair will turn gray and may progress to white. In addition to age many other factors influence the color of your hair. Among those gender, ethnicity and medical conditions are considered to play a major role.
You can change the color of your hair through permanent or temporary coloring. Many products are available in the market for you to change the color of your hair. Look for the chemical content of those products because it could cause other health problems.
