Aboriginal Australians, especially in the west-central parts of the continent, have a high frequency of natural blond-to-brown hair,[33] with as many as 90–100% of children having blond hair in some areas.[34] The trait among Indigenous Australians is primarily associated with children. In maturity the hair usually turns a darker brown color, but sometimes remains blond.[34] Blondness is also found in some other parts of the South Pacific, such as the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Fiji, again with higher incidences in children.
