While often considered a distinct hair color, strawberry blonde can be thought of as a variation or subset of ginger hair. Here's why:
Pigmentation: Both strawberry blonde and classic ginger hair derive their reddish tones from the pheomelanin pigment. Eumelanin, the pigment responsible for brown and black hair, is present in low levels.
Diluted Red: Strawberry blonde represents a lighter, more diluted form of red hair. Classic red/ginger has a higher concentration of pheomelanin.
Genetic Connection: Genes that determine red hair (primarily variants of the MC1R gene) also influence strawberry blonde. Individuals with these genes may express the trait to varying degrees.
Blonde Undertones: The key difference lies in the presence of blonde tones. Strawberry blonde features a blend of reddish hues with significant blonde highlights or overall lightness. This gives it a "strawberry" appearance.
In summary, strawberry blonde sits on a spectrum alongside traditional red hair, with the determining factor being the relative amount and interaction of pheomelanin, eumelanin, and blonde characteristics.
