Don’t mean to be stereotypical. But generally people from northern countries (especially EU) tend to have blond / fair hair, whereas southern people have darker hair. Yet when it’s summer and sunny, your hair tends to get lighter, so you’d think that southern people should have lighter hair and northern people that are less exposed to the sun should have darker hair.
