what? you are saying gingers hair changes to blonde. red hair is not red. gingers have a burgundy, burnt orange, or an orange color not a true red like a fire truck or are you going to say gingers have fire truck red hair which is not true they do not produce a true red pigment.

In Oslo there weren't nearly as many blond people as I thought. From what I saw everyday on the streets I would say about half were non-blonde.

Get it right! The vast majority of redheads have a paler skin than average. This in turn also affects the frequency of lighter skin types in populations which have a higher frequency of red hair genes. This is why at the edge of northwestern Europe, in the British Isles populations we get the highest frequency of light skin types. The ratio of Irish/Scottish/Welsh people who don't tan or tan with difficulty is much higher than that of Scandinavians and other Europeans. The ScottishDNA Project also explains it pretty well and links it to the gloomy weather of the North Atlantic region of Europe, where an even lighter skin was an advantage in order to absorb Vitamin D. This in turn contributed to an increase for redheads, because they are for the most part pale-skinned. The Harvard Medical School in Boston has already in a study published in 2013 that the gene responsible for red hair leaves a person up tp 100 times more susceptible to the worst forms of skin cancer. That should any intelligent person, that as rule, redheads are fair-skinned not the other way round. It is not always easy for redheads as myself enjoying the summer, we are always warned to be more careful than others about UV exposure. Now you may come with your jokes, but facts are facts.

You seem to always want to portray Norwegians as a very dark-haired people. The truth is that they are not. Yes, the woman you've posted is a true brunette, but overall ethnic Norwegians are well among the blondest people on this planet at least.

I think those two blondes sitting at the table are attractive. Well if to you, Norwegians are not "so blonde", guess what, most countries on the face of this planet have a lower ratio of natural blondes than Norway. In other words, Norway is still quite blonde. Many Europeans and white people especially of Northwest, Western European descent have their blonde genes which could be traced to Norwegian Vikings who raided and settled those parts of Europe more than a thousand years ago. Every time, I see Norwegians, I see their similarity in physical features to people of Iceland, Faroes Isles, British Isles, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, even northern France. When I say Norway is a blonde country, it's relative to the frequency of blondeness in comparison to other countries. I am not saying that all Norwegians are blonde, but they are more blonde than most.

Not so blond, right? Let see:
