Are most blonde people naturally slightly tanned with darker skin than brunettes or redheads on average, or is it just my personal experience?

[Anonymous]

Kind of like this skin color.

Not trying to generalize, but it seems like about half of the blonde people I meet have slightly tanned skin. Significantly more than White people with dark hair (brown or brunette).

This kind of confuses me, because isn't blonde hair a result of less melanin? Why would a person with less melanin in the hair suddenly have more in the skin? It just doesn't quite add up. I know the genes for skin and hair color are different, but it doesn't quite add up...

So much melanin in the hair, but skin so pale...

On the contrary most brunette people I meet seem to naturally be pale as fuck, despite having so dark hair.

Makes sense... light hair, light skin with freckles...

And then you got redhead people, with light hair, light skin, and freckles... it makes me wonder a bit though why brunette people don't usually have as much freckles, if they're about just as pale.

Three GORGEOUS ladies! I'd love to be their friend!

So is my observation actually a thing, or just a coincidence?

Also, with the two of them next to each other, it seems the brunette is even MORE pale than the redhead... so why does she have ZERO freckles in comparison? Shouldn't she burn more easily?

Yes, most of them indeed are.

No, it's just your personal experience.

There are lots of blondes that are not naturally blondes. This could be the reason. Some love tanning beds or fake tan. Redheads tend to have pale complexion as it's more genetic thing given redheads come from predominantly Northern region but if they have a heavily mixed ancestry they could have more tan olive skin but that's quite rare. I feel there are more brunettes that have tan skin - as brunette ranges to black hair as well which have more melanin - Asia, Africa & some islands. It all depends where you live and what you see daily but it can't be accounted for the rest of the world. Given genetic mutation. Blondes tend to be healthier where I am from or that's the stereotype - healthier eating. As you can get beautiful tan skin from adjusting your diet. A diet in high green leafy vegetables and even carrots can change your skintone.

Megan Fox has gotten tan?

Most Hollywood white women use tanner to have a darker complexion. So that’s why, I don’t think how much a person can tan is determined by hair color though, it just depends on the type of melanin you produce in the skin that can make your skin better adapted to tan and others more prone to getting sun burns.


For example, even me. I’m black and I tan well in the sun but I have sensitive skin (eczema) so I’m prone to getting sun burns if I don’t take the right precautions so it has a lot of different factors

Where I am North East England blondes are the norm, all are very white, milk bottle white.

A lot of natural blondes tan very easily

red heads and gingers, are also pale or freckled and burn like a crisp.

@elenafrogger552 thank you most appreciated

It's an optical illusion. Next to brunette hair your face will look lighter than if it was next to blond hair.

Pretty much all redheads I know are very pale and unable to tan. Most of us blondes are pretty fair but tan pretty well and can get quite tan if outdoors a lot.

I use to burn pretty easy when I was really young. However I'm outside a lot and have built up a pretty good tan and pretty much never burn now and I'm as blonde and blue eyed as can be. As you can probably see from my picture I have naturally pure platinum blonde hair (it stays pure platinum blonde year round too) that is longer than I am tall and the bluest brightest lightest eyes. I'm at least darker type 2 maybe even type 3 skin tone with golden undertones while redheads are pretty much all type 1 with light pinkish undertones for those familiar with that. It is kind of funny that blondes tan so much better than redheads since our hair is lighter. I'm 12/12 on the hair color chart for those familiar with that 1being darkest and 12 being lightest, and blonde is 7-12
Red hair is 3-7
Redheads also tend to be darker eyed than us blondes, especially us natural platinum blondes. Redheads usually have green or brown eyes. Blondes usually have blue sometimes green eyes. Natural platinum blondes like me usually have very bright very light blue eyes. Almost never do natural blondes have brown eyes. Yet us natural blondes including natural platinum blondes tan pretty well whereas redheads burn bad and are unable to tan.

It actually more common for blondes to be more fair skinned that brunettes. Not always, but more often.

[Asker]

Really huh? Interesting. I mean that makes sense.

I wonder why blondes don't usually get freckles like redheads though... I mean with the lightest hair color, shouldn't they have lighter skin and even more freckles? Redheads hair is dark in comparison to blonde.

[Trainborn35]

I have brown hair, and I have pale skin, burn easy and get freckles all over my face.

I don’t know but I’m in a give me sex mood

[Anonymous]

It’s not fair that white people can be this good looking.

[Asker]

Uh that's a bit racist. And I don't know if this means anything, but all my biggest crushes (female, I am bisexual) have been Black, Indian, Native American, Mexican, or otherwise brown/dark.

[Opinion Owner]

Yea I’m black and Hispanic is basically just white. Native American and Indian are nice but nobody really likes black girls

[Asker]

I don't know where you live, but where I live Black women are LOVED. A hot Black model is worshipped like a goddess around here, lol.

[Opinion Owner]

Is this area white or Hispanic or black?

[Asker]

Well there definitely seems to be a lot more Hispanic, Latino, and Black people than White in this area.

[Opinion Owner]

So Hispanic prefers to date black then?

[Asker]

Well not necessarily. But people in my area just don't care about race. They care about personality and appearance. And to be frank, a lot of Black girls here have AMAZING bodies that make guys (and girls) of every race/ethnicity/culture go crazy.

[Opinion Owner]

Yea those are facts
