Have you ever wondered why most Asian people have dark hair? You’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions I get asked all the time, and it’s easy to understand why: it seems odd that some people have black or brown hair while others are blonde or redhead (or even white). There must be something genetic going on here, right? As it turns out, there is. But before we dive into this topic any further we need to talk about skin pigmentation

Skin pigmentation is also inherited.

Skin pigmentation is also inherited. Melanin is a natural pigment that gives people their skin color, and it’s the same pigment that makes your hair and eyes dark. Melanin protects the skin from UV rays by absorbing them so they can’t damage DNA or cause cancer.

Melanin production in our bodies depends on the amount of melanocytes–cells that produce melanin–in our skin. These cells are found all over the body but are most concentrated in areas like the face, neck and arms where they help protect these areas from harmful UV rays (the same reason why you should wear sunscreen).

Asians have a dark skin tone and dark hair.

Melanin is the pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their color. It’s produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found in the stratum basale of the epidermis–the outermost layer of your skin. Melanocytes produce two types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Eumelanin is darker in color than pheomelanin, so it gives people with darker complexions a darker complexion overall.

Pheomelanin gives redheads their distinctive strawberry blonde locks; however, those with lots of eumelanin will always have darker hair colors (usually black or brown).

People of Asian descent have more melanin, which gives their skin and hair its color.

Melanin is a pigment that gives color to skin and hair. It is produced by melanocytes, which are cells in the skin. Melanin also helps protect your body from ultraviolet (UV) rays, so having darker skin means you can stay out in the sun longer without getting sunburned.

In addition to providing protection from UV radiation, melanin plays an important role in regulating vitamin D synthesis in your body–a vitamin essential for strong bones and healthy teeth as well as overall health. People with lighter colored skin may need more sunlight exposure than others if they don’t get enough vitamin D through their diet or supplements because their bodies aren’t producing enough on their own due to lack of melanin production by those same cells!

Most Asian people have a high level of melanin in their skin and hair.

Most Asian people have a high level of melanin in their skin and hair. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin, eyes and hair its color. It’s produced by melanocytes in the skin and cells called keratinocytes in hair follicles.

Melanin is a protein that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, helping protect against sunburns and other damage to DNA. It also provides coloration to animals such as birds or fish which live underwater where there is no light at all but still need protection from predators who rely on sight rather than smell or sound (like sharks).

The more melanin you have, the darker your skin will be — and the darker your hair will be.

The reason why most Asian people have dark hair is because of melanin, which is the pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their color. Melanin comes from cells called melanocytes in your body. These cells produce melanin to protect your skin from UV radiation. The more melanin you have, the darker your skin will be — and the darker your hair will be!

There are some genetic reasons why Asian people tend to have darker hair than others

Genetics is a complex subject. It’s not just about what your parents gave you, but also how they gave it to you.

We know that melanin is the pigment that gives hair its color and it’s produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found in the skin, eyes and hair. People with more melanin have darker skin and hair because they have more of this pigment in their bodies.

You might be wondering why we have dark skin and hair. It’s a good question, and one that scientists are still trying to answer. But there are some genetic reasons why Asian people tend to have darker hair than others.
