    Glossary Pheomelanin

    pigment responsible for red and yellow hues in hair

    Pheomelanin is a type of melanin pigment found in human hair and skin that gives them a reddish or yellowish hue. It is one of the two main types of melanin, the other being eumelanin, which is darker. Pheomelanin is more prevalent in individuals with lighter skin and hair, and its presence can influence the overall color and tone of these features.
