Only two percent of people in the entire world are naturally blonde into adulthood.

It all comes down to genetics and the amount of melanin in an individual’s hair strands.

There are two types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin.

AsBig Thinkpoints out, the majority of natural blondes in the world are centered around northern Europe.
