Western Norway has lots of small towns and rural villages, probably well over a thousand. Bergen is surrounded by them.

Here are the small town people who lives outside of Bergen city.








They are also very proud of their culture and every summer they have this rural culture gathering in Bergen harbour

Also to be mentioned. During the timeperiod when Norway was occupied by Denmark then the danish king demanded tax money from the rural people outside of Bergen, almost all they had. They didn't like that so they traveled to Bergen city and kidnapped all the danish tax people and demanded ransom money to let them go.

During world war 2 and the german occupation then the nazis killed some of the rurals because they didn't trust them.
Thousands of Western Norwegians are the descendants of Dutch and German traders who settled there in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially in the Bergen area. Perhaps that why there is more brunettes there.

Iceland is one of the world's blondest and most homogeneous nations in Europe. Due to the fact that Icelanders are about 60% Norse and the rest Celtic (Scottish/Irish), we can see that manifest clearly in their pigmentation. The majority of Icelanders have blonde or slightly ginger-hair and blue eyes. The reason why Icelandic men are usually physically strong and the women beautiful, could be linked to a strong" survival of the fittest" Viking genes and the beauty of the beauty of the Gaelic belles!

The typical Norwegian and also Scandinavian is blonde, blue-eyed and fair-skinned. Infantile blondism is quite high in Norway. Not all Norwegians look typical though! Do you get it now? In most videos, you posted I keep on seeing typical Norwegians. Overall Norwegians are very similar to other Northern Europeans, especially their neighbors and also other Germanic people of Europe. The most common eye colour among Norwegians is blue! I am not referring to those of Non-European origins.

Norway is for sure well among the world's blondest-haired country.
Norwegians as other Scandinavians are typically blonde-haired and blue-eyed. This trait (blonde hair) will become less common as one ages. Scandinavians have the highest frequency of blonde hair as a whole.

Blonde hair is not by any means exotic or odd in the British Isles! There many British and Irish who are so.
English folks

(though one here has Asian ancestry)

These people are not blonder than the British.
