Me and all my siblings all were born with blonde hair, but our hair darkened as we got older. It is a mystery to us. As for genetics, we have Irish/Scottish/German ancestors...

@Sbtouchamyspaghetti Because babies have very low melanin level. As they grow older, their body starts to be able to produce melanin. Hence, the changing in hair color and even skin tone.

Happened to me! To be honest, I’m not sure, but probably has to do with genetics and melanin

@Laurent_Le But there are also many white adults have blonde hair. Does that mean they didn't produce a lot of melanin?

@Sbtouchamyspaghetti For starter, there are different types of melanin. It is possible that those adults produce much less hair melanin than those with darker hair.
