Finland. The people of Finland have one of the highest concentrations of blond hair in the world. In large portions of Finland, 80% of the population has blond hair (and a full 89% of the population has blue eyes).
Naturally-occurring blond hair is primarily found in people living in or descended from people who lived in the northern half of Europe, and may have evolved alongside the development of light skin that enables more efficient synthesis of vitamin D, due to northern Europe's lower levels of sunlight.
In a country of 1.3 billion in which over 91% of the population is Han (or ethnic “Chinese”), any variation in hair color from the standard black pretty much sticks out like a sore thumb. Occasionally, you will see a Chinese with dyed red, blond or even blue hair. But not too often.
It's common to associate blonde hair with Europe, where you'll find the highest percentage of naturally blonde people. The Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway have plenty. You'll also find a healthy amount in Germany, The Netherlands, and Finland.
Asian populations did not develop a mutation for blonde or red hair the same way that populations in other areas (like Northern Europe) did. Black hair color is dominant and only requires one gene for the person to have black hair. There are some Asians that have Mongolian influence that have red or blonde hair.
Asian skin can have pale, yellowish undertones or a warm, golden complexion. Meanwhile, Asian hair has natural black or brown pigmentation. It also has a thick cuticle layer and compact cuticle cells. The best Asian hair colors are those that flatter these characteristics.
Many Asians have naturally straight hair, but there is a significant group of us who do have naturally curly or wavy hair! However, because it's the norm to see straight and sleek hair, curly haired boys and girls tend to think that their hair is some kind of unruly straight hair that isn't behaving.
There are plenty of blue-eyed Asians. This probably happens when the traditional blue-eyed allele comes into a family from a (possibly very distant) European ancestor. Blue eyes then resurface in a child generations later if they inherit the allele from both parents.
Some sources, such as Eupedia, claim that in central parts of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland, 80% of the population is blonde, with natural fair-haired people in other Baltic Countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and other parts of Scandinavia) making up 50-79% of the population.
The Melanesian people of the Solomon Islands are the point of interest when it comes to their dark skin and blonde hair.
Is it possible for an Asian to have natural blonde hair? There are many Asians with blonde hair. Being blonde is a genetically recessive trait. This means that they have to get the genes for blonde hair from both parents for the hair to be blonde.
It's not uncommon but estimated to be 10% of the Chinese have wavy or slightly curly hair. It's a misconception propagated by ignorant people that Chinese only have straight hair. The predominant gene is straight hair but the recessive gene is slightly curly or called wavy.
Actually curly hair is very common among Chinese people, but many Chinese think that curly hair is difficult to manage, so many people will go to the barber shop to have their hair straightened.
It is thought that Palaeolithic hunters chose blondes because they stood out from their rivals and were more likely to be healthy. Many women who are blonde go darker as they age, so blonde hair is also viewed as an indicator of youth, and sexual vitality.
How Rare Is Dirty Blonde Hair? About 2 percent of the population are natural blondes, but it's a very popular hair color because many turn to hair dye to achieve it. Brighter blonde shades like ashy blonde and beige blonde are more popular choices than dirty blonde, so you can consider dirty blonde a bit more unique.
The rarest natural hair colour is red, which makes up only one to two percent of the global population. You commonly see these hair colours in western and northern areas of Europe, especially Scotland and Ireland. However, natural redheads may not exist for much longer.
Blonde hair is caused by low levels of the dark pigment due to a certain mutation in the genes. It all started in areas with low sunlight (so definitely not in our favourite continent down-under). Thanks to this, naturally blonde people are able to make the most of the sunlight when it comes to producing vitamin D.
Scandinavia, a region in Northern Europe, is known for its inhabitants with blonde hair and blue eyes. This is a generally rare combination to have in such large numbers. The blonde hair likely arose as an adaption to the climate along with lighter skin.
For example, Asians typically have brown eyes, while Europeans are more likely to have eyes of blue or other lighter hues.
Approximately 2% of people have blue eyes in China.
It also serves as a reminder that eye color is not limited to any one region or ethnicity, and that blue eyes can be found in many different parts of the world.
Green eyes naturally occur in all races of people. Liqian, China is a hot spot for green eyes. There is a village in China called Liqian, in which two-thirds of all inhabitants today have green eyes and blonde hair. Green eyes and blonde hair are a rare combination.
The same study showed that Asian (East and West) hair shape is also mostly straight (46.7%) or wavy (41.3%), with some curly hair (12%) (n = 92).
In Asia, red hair can be found among some peoples of Afghan, Arab, Iranian, East Indians, Mongolian, Turkic, Miao, and Hmong descent.
In fact, many Korean people have curly or wavy hair textures — but this is often a well-kept secret as most Koreans opt for the widely popular Korean Magic.
