<p>Blonde and Brown hair is so common.</p>

<p>But how many of those blondes dye their hair blond?</p>

3

<p>Cool. I have red hair. I am more special.</p>

4

<p>no, these are the people who were born blond.
fake dye jobs are, in my opinion pretty fail. Not everyone looks good blonde. Your hair is there for a reason.</p>

5

<p>Wow, that’s somewhat surprising.</p>

6

<p>the thing is most people who are born blond end up having their hair turn brown so there are very few adult natural blonds</p>

<p>] Blue eyes have become increasingly rare among American children, with only one out of every six or 16.6%, which is 49.8 million out of 300 million (22.4% of white Americans) of the total United States population having blue eyes. [35] [36] [37]</p>

<p>A gray iris may indicate the presence of a uveitis. However, other visual signs make a uveitis obvious. Gray iris color, as well as blue, are at increased risk of uveal melanoma. [42]
Uveal melanoma is a cancer (melanoma) of the eye involving the iris, ciliary body, or choroid (collectively referred to as the uvea). Tumors arise from the pigment cells (melanocytes) that reside within the uvea giving color to the eye. These melanocytes are distinct from the Retinal pigment epithelium cells underlying the retina that do not form melanomas.</p>

<p>However, a study in 2000 suggests that people with dark brown eyes are at increased risk of developing cataracts and therefore should protect their eyes from direct exposure to sunlight. [58]</p>

<p>Chris Rock did a really funny documentary on black hair.</p>

11

<p>Not gonna lie… as soon as I saw the title, I couldn’t help but think this would be a thread about African-American hair. I got all excited too.</p>

<p>Edit: ^ That.</p>

12

<p>I have premature gray. Therefore, I am awesomeness.</p>

13

<p>eh I have natural hair, and I get a lot of positive comments on it (mostly from white people). Sure, it’s annoying that I can’t just go to sleep without setting it and I can’t just wake up with my hair perfectly good to go like people of other hair types, but learn to embrace your hair.</p>

14

<p>I’m actually suprised seeing as many latinas, african-americans and asians have black hair.</p>

15

<p>My hair is a mixture of blonde, brown, and red. I’m not actually sure what color it is, but I usually claim either red or blonde. (Although to be honest… It really doesn’t fit either category…) I think I might get called a red-head more often than not… so I guess that I’m extra special?</p>

<p>Anyone else have no clue what color their hair is?</p>

16

<p>If this statistic is accurate—omg there must be so many fake blondes at my school. At least half my school is “blonde”.</p>

<p>

I have recently found blue-grey eyes in old Asian people, which is kind of irrelevant. But I found it interesting.</p>

<p>Oh wait…

</p>

18

<p>^Oooh, true. My Chinese friend has a grandfather with blue-grey eyes.</p>

19

<p>

A lot of teenage girls dye their hair blonde, however, it’s just one school and there could be many blondes at one high school and virtually all brunettes at another (esp if there are not as many white students).</p>

<p>This doesn’t make sense. African Americans alone encompass over 10% of the American population. If you add in Asians and Natives and a few others, it should be close to 20% with black hair.</p>
