brownhaired

Brownhaired refers to individuals who possess hair that is brown in color. This is a common hair color found across various ethnic groups and geographic regions. Brown hair ranges in shade from light brown, often called chestnut or auburn, to dark brown, which can be nearly black. The pigment responsible for brown hair is melanin, specifically a higher concentration of eumelanin compared to pheomelanin, which contributes to red tones. The exact shade and hue of brown hair can be influenced by genetics and can change subtly over a person's lifetime. Environmental factors such as sun exposure can also lighten brown hair, sometimes leading to highlights. In some instances, brown hair may appear to have reddish or golden undertones depending on the specific types and amounts of melanin present. It is a natural hair color that can be dyed to other colors, but its natural state is a common and widely distributed human trait.
