What is black vs brown hair?

Black hair is the darkest and most common hair color. It is produced by the presence of a high concentration of the pigment melanin in the hair shaft. Black hair often has a shiny appearance and can look very sleek and healthy.

Brown hair, on the other hand, can range from light to dark and is produced by a combination of melanin types, with higher levels of eumelanin and lower levels of pheomelanin. Brown hair often has a softer, more natural look compared to black hair.

Both black and brown hair can be found in people all over the world and can also have different shades and undertones. The choice between black or brown hair color often comes down to personal preference and suitability for skin tone and facial features.
