Will some hair colors ever become extinct?
It seems as though the recessive gene of blondes and redheads has caused their respectable hair colors to become less and less common in their offspring. Will it ever come to the point, say in year 3000 that there will be no people with natural blonde or red hair? It is definitely something to think about, considering that our society today is mostly made up of natural brunettes. Those that are blonde or redheaded are most likely fake versions, aspiring to be the real thing.
With chemicals available today, it is possible for one to acquire virtually any hair color that they desire, as long as they have the means to pay for it.
If there really is a possibility of natural hair colors becoming extinct, it makes me wonder if there were any other hair colors that were natural prior to my lifetime. I mean we are in year 2010 currently, and that leaves a lot of space for things to have died out. Was it ever possible for fuschia or purple to be a natural hair color, say in year 1000. As far as I know, we do not have any photographs documenting that time, so there really is no way for us to know.
