Where Does Blond Hair Come From? The Genetics Explained

Where Does Blond Hair Come From? The Genetics Explained Where does blond hair come from—and why can it darken with age? Discover how melanin, genetic variation, and different biological pathways help explain natural blond hair. In this animated Scribvanta explainer, explore the KITLG regulatory switch, the TYRP1 research involving Solomon Islanders, and why hair color is more complicated than a single “blond gene.” Learn how similar hair colors can have different genetic explanations, and why pigment production and population history are separate questions.
