you also motivated me to get off my duff, and I found this: "Melanin is found in two forms. Eumelanin is the dark pigment which predominates in black and brunette hair. Phaeomelanin is a lighter pigment, which is found in red and blond hair. Many people's hair contains a mixture of the two: the more eumelanin there is in the mixture, the darker is the hair. The mixture (and the shade) varies not only from one person to another, but also across one person's head. The combination of pigments in the mixture is determined by the individual's genes. Differences between dark-haired people are due to differences in the overall quantities of melanins in their hair." here
