Norwegians hair: texture and color in 62 observed portraits

Norwegians: hair texture (andre walker) 1B — straight, medium in 56% of 62; hair color Dark brown in 45% of 67; hair density Average in 57% of 65; hairline shape M-shape (temporal recession) in 49% of 63; graying pattern None in 49% of 67.

Catalog portraits for Norwegians are AI-generated adult subjects; the measurements on this page come from documented photographs of real people, not from these images.

Hair color

n = 67 assessable · 1 not assessable

Dark brownDistinctly brown but darker than medium-brown.	45%	30
Light brownLight-brown to caramel range.	12%	8
WhitePredominantly unpigmented hair.	12%	8
GrayVisibly graying hair, mixed pigmented and unpigmented.	10%	7
Medium brownStandard brown hair.	6%	4
Mixed / uniqueMultiple distinct natural colors (e.g. natural ombre with sun-lightened tips).	6%	4
BlackVery dark hair appearing black under normal lighting; high eumelanin.	3%	2
Dark blondeDark blonde / dirty blonde.	3%	2
Medium blondeStandard blonde.	1%	1
Red / auburnRed, auburn, or copper. High pheomelanin; correlated with MC1R variants.	1%	1

Hair density

n = 65 assessable

Density of native scalp hair when ungroomed.

Value	Share	n
SparseVisible scalp through hair throughout most of the head.	9%	6
ThinSome visible scalp; reduced density.	15%	10
AverageStandard density; minimal visible scalp.	57%	37
ThickAbove-average density.	18%	12

Hairline shape

n = 63 assessable

Shape of the anterior hairline.

Value	Share	n
M-shape (temporal recession)Bilateral temporal recession creating an M-shape; common male-pattern feature.	49%	31
RoundedSmooth curve hairline; no peaks.	44%	28
Widow's peakV-shaped point at the midline of the hairline.	6%	4

Graying pattern

n = 67 assessable

Pattern and extent of visible gray / white hair.

Value	Share	n
NoneNo visible gray hairs.	49%	33
Fully gray / white	15%	10
Scattered fewA few isolated gray hairs visible.	13%	9
Predominantly gray	10%	7
Dyed (graying suggested)Visible dye job that likely covers gray; native graying state not directly observable.	4%	3
Salt and pepperMixed gray and pigmented hair throughout; often ~50/50.	4%	3
Temple-concentratedGraying concentrated at temples; common early-graying pattern.	3%	2

Where these numbers come from

68 publicly documented portraits of notable Norwegians people were assessed by a vision model against the full 22-vocabulary schema, one value per dimension. Values are what the photographs show, read by a model, not population measurements. Each table counts only portraits where the value could be assessed; covered, obscured and unclear portraits are reported separately.

Notable-people corpora skew older, so hair color over-represents gray and white, and image quality varies. Treat shares as a description of this sample.

These rows are not yet in the published catalog dataset, which currently carries the earlier single-row analysis; see the methodology. A family page exists only when at least 10 portraits carry an assessable value.
