What color was Former President John Quincy Adams's hair before it started graying and whitening?

Question

Well? Sources would be nice as well?

Also, as a teen, what would you guys guess his hairstyle would be like? I would think very kempt, as he was a rich folk, not the common man. Agree? Disagree?

Answer 1

As I recall, I once read that like his father, his hair was strawberry blonde/red.
I did a quick check of my book "The American Patriot's Handbook" but there was no mention of hair color. Sorry.
As a teen (14) he was the Secretary to the United States Minister in Russia. My guess is he was VERY kempt.

Answer 2

I have to ask my mom. Answer you tomorrow
