你知道有兩種主要的頭髮黑色素嗎？

Your hair color is determined by the type and amount of melanin in your hair. 您的頭髮顏色取決於頭髮中黑色素的類型和數量。

Genetics play a huge role in which type of melanin you’re born with. There are two main groups of hair melanin :

• Eumelanins: give hair dark colors

• Pheomelanins: give hair light colors

遺傳學在您與生俱來的黑色素類型中起著重要作用。頭髮黑色素有兩大類：

• 真黑色素：賦予頭髮深色

• 褐黑素：賦予頭髮淺色

According to Healthline, different combinations of these two groups of melanin determines hair colour:
