Brown!
Brown hair (also referred to as
chestnut and cinnamon) varies from light brown to almost black
hair. It is characterized by higher levels of the dark pigment
eumelanin and lower levels of the pale pigment phaeomelanin.
Its strands are thicker than those of fair hair but not as much
as those of red hair. People with brown hair are often referred
to as brunettes, the feminine form, and brunets, the masculine
term. Brown hair is common among West Eurasians - especially
in central and southern Europe, West Asia, and North Africa,
where it transitions smoothly into blackish-brown and pure black
hair.
