Young Dark Blonde Girl With Green Eyes Posing In The Nature

Geographic distribution
Blond hair is most frequently found among the peoples of Northern Europe. The pigmentation of both hair and eyes is lightest around the Baltic Sea and their darkness increases regularly and almost concentrically around this region. Strawberry blond is a much rarer type containing the most amounts of pheomelanin. Blond hair is also found in Southern Europe, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe. Due to migration from Europe from the 16th to the 20th centuries, blonds are also found all around the world such as in North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. A 2009 study found that light hair colors were already present in southern Siberia during the Bronze Age.
Generally, blond hair in Europeans is associated with lighter eye color (gray, blue, green, and hazel) and light (sometimes freckled) skin tone. Strong sunlight also lightens hair of any pigmentation, to varying degrees, and causes many blond people to freckle, especially during childhood.
