only your skin type affects your probability to get sunburned. your hair can get damaged from the sun but you cant get sunburned b/c of its type

Yes you are in general because of the pigment color in Ur hair reflects on your skin pigment.But some people just take Better to the sun then other regardless this,I think its got to do with what condition your skin is use too.ie People living never the equator have a stronger protection against sunburn

It depends.....it depends on your heritage which usually determines your hair color. For example Irish people usually have blonde or light colored hair...and pale skin. Pale skin usually means sunburn. Another example...Italian people have dark hair and darker skin and don't generally get sunburn very easily. It all has to do with skin complections. Hope this helps:)

no your hair does not effect it. your skin color does. if you are kind of pale you will get sunburned easier and if you are darker it will be harder to get sunburned. it also sometimes depends on your nationality, like spanish people wouldnt burn as easily as irish people

No, your hair is determined how light or how dark it is by the amount of melanin in it. People with small amounts of melanin their hair and eyes have blonde hair, blue eyes, red hair, green eyes, etc. But there are exceptions to the rule, for instance you could have low amounts of melanin in your skin and burn. So after all of that its all about the amount of melanin that is stored in your body. People with light hair tend to burn a little more easier, but its not always the case. It is more about genetics and heritage.

Yes but only because you hair color coordinates with your skin color. I am a blond and I burn easily but not as easily as my mother who is a red head...
