Medical Conditions - Hair Color

The color of human hair is due to the two types of melanin pigments, eumelanin (black or brown pigmentation) and pheomelanin (red or pink pigmentation). Each hair color is associated with ethnic groups, and grey hair is due to age. The levels of these pigments can vary as the person ages, and the color of hair can change.
