What is strawberry blonde hair natural?

Strawberry blonde hair is a rare hair color that is a blend of blonde and red hues.

  • Genetics: It's primarily determined by the presence of a specific variant of the MC1R gene, the same gene responsible for red hair. However, in strawberry blonde hair, the effect is less intense, leading to a lighter, more blended color. Multiple genes likely contribute.

  • Color Description: Often described as a warm, reddish-blonde. It's characterized by golden blonde hair with red or auburn undertones. It can range from light and subtle to a more pronounced coppery hue.

  • Natural Occurrence: It's a naturally occurring hair color, not achieved through dyeing (though many people do dye their hair this color).

  • Prevalence: It's considered a relatively uncommon hair color, much less common than standard blonde or red hair.

  • Skin Tone: It often complements fair to light skin tones, particularly those with freckles.
