      It’s down to genetics. The origins of hair colours have their roots (no pun intended) come from our ancestors geography!

      It depends which hair colour gene is dominant and which is recessive so you may have hair the same colour as one parent or the other, be a throwback to your ancestors or have have hair which is a mix of the two colours
