Human hair does not contain genes. Hair is composed of a protein called keratin, which is produced by hair follicles located in the skin. The traits of your hair, such as color, texture, and thickness, are determined by your genetics.

How does dying your hair influence the genes for hair color?

Dyeing your hair does not influence the genes for hair color. The color of your hair is determined by your genetics, specifically the combination of genes inherited from your parents. Dyeing your hair only changes the external appearance of the hair and does not alter the underlying genetic code.


What are genes on?

Each and every person has the same set of genes - about 20,000 in all. The differences between people come from slight variations in these genes. For example, a person with red hair doesn't have the "red hair gene" while a person with brown hair has the "brown hair gene." Instead, all people have genes for hair color, and different versions of these genes dictate whether someone will be a redhead or a brunette.

What is genotypephenotype?

Genotype is the genes you have inherited for a certain condition (say you have two recessive genes for cystic fibrosis) and phenotype is the result of genotype and environmental factors added together (you will develop cystic fibrosis). ---- Penotype is the actual genes that you inherit from your parents. Phenotype is the genes that are actually expressed in your body. For instance, you may inherit genes for both red hair and blond hair from your parents, but you will only have one hair color. Both redhead and blond genes are part of your genotype, but only the genes for the hair color you actually have are part of your phenotype.
