For humans black hair is the most common colour in the whole world. Brown hair is the next most common after black. Hair colour has nothing to do with ethnicity or culture and everything to do with genetics.
With regard to "ethnic" Canadians there are really only one kind of true, original ethnic Canadians. They all have black hair, brown or black eyes and coppery skin and their ethnic cultures vary from tribe to tribe. They are indigenous people descended from indigenous people that were here several thousands of years before Europeans discovered the American continents. They all have their genetic roots in Asia but their ethnic roots are in Canada.

You are referring to the first nations people. They come in different colours and different natural hair colours, depending on how mixed they are.

Mixed with what? Are you referring to hybrids, people of mixed race whose original blood has been watered down with that of other races and mixed races?

I am not referring to the indigenous peoples of the territory that is now Canada, but to the European roots of people who made up modern geo-political entity known as Canada.
Having 25% or less Mesoamerican indigenous and 75% Mediterranean roots, with brown hair, I'm curious about that.

It's the term "ethnic Canadian" being defined as non-Francophone, non-indigenous, exclusively European descended people that is rubbing people the wrong way here. That is not how most Canadians conceive of Canadians. It smacks of very difficult and painful ideologies that were once more prominent in Canada and that did alot of harm (see history of Manitoba to start with). People mostly aren't willing to engage when the terms of the discussion are separating people out in that way. Canadians aren't just pure bred European Anglophones of British Isles descent so questions like this are kind of pointless.
1. Indigenous people (original inhabitants).
2. Ethnic Canadians: French-Canadians, British-Canadians, Metis, Euro-Canadians,
Old mixed root Canadians.
3. Non-ethnic Canadians: Asian Canadians, New mixed Canadians, other Canadians.
All are 100% Canadian citizens.
That might be how you define it, but it is not how most people would. In fact, you have explicitly racialized it by including all white Canadians (i.e. Euro-Canadians) in your 'ethnic Canadian' group and all Asian Canadians in your 'non-ethnic' Canadian regardless of how many generations any of those people have been in Canada. Therefore, despite your attempt to use different terminology, many people would see this as basically dividing citizens into "real Canadian" (white / indigenous) and those who are not really Canadian.
Even though it is still a slightly weird question, you probably should have just asked "How common is black hair among white Canadians" or "How common is black hair among Canadians of European ancestry"? That is, unless throwing in the phrase 'ethnic Canadian' to see how people react was the whole point of the thread?
