As the map is clearly that the northern part of Europe has the highest occurance of people who are naturally blonde-haired and blue-eyes. Though within this Northern European region, the highest ratios are found in central Scandinavia and the ratio gradually decreases as one moves away from central Scandinavia. The first people to have blonde hair in Europe were not Germanic-speakers, only Nazi ideology-infested fools will believe that nonsense! It is just that since most Germanic-speaking countries are mostly located in northerly regions of Europe, they then tend to have large blonde/light-haired populations, in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. Nevertheless the blondest European country statistically is Finland. Elsewhere the most common hair color is brown. Additionally, it is also foolish to believe that blonde hair, blue eyes in the British Isles was first brought by Anglo-Saxon or Viking invasion. It wasn't since, areas such Ireland, Wales which are predominantly Celtic have blondes and are most commonly blue-eyed. So going west to east, the "blond zone" of Europe includes the British Isles, the Netherlands, northern Germany, northern Poland, Scandinavia, Baltic States, northwestern Ukraine, northwest European Russia.
Danelaw is only a small are in England.. and even there most people dont look danish.. some have certiain danish viking influences some have higher pictish and native briton.. but overall they are closer in appearance to other brits than to scandinavians.. at least when we talk of them as a group.
By what do you mean that they don't look Danish? Denmark is definitely not a 100% blonde, are you claim that it is? There are dark-haired English people who have more Danish genes than blonde ones. Sorry but you gotta be more careful and use your brain. Within Britain particularly England, hair color may not always be an indicator of who has Scandinavian/Germanic genes and who doesn't.
See within the English, the Germanic and Celtic are intermixed, so it is quite hard to know for sure. Who has Danish strains and who doesn't. Hair color alone is not a good indicator.

English women are famous for bleaching their hair same for american women.. Very few are natural blondes past age of 12... even among small children its 50/50..
And the guy doesnt have british features.. he looks continental european his jaw and eyeset are different from those darkhaired britishmen with old neolithic mediterranean appearance.
90% of english "blonde" women I came across had pretty dark roots lol.
Anyways I'm talking about averages.. average english people dont look anything remotely close to danes.. they are far closer in appearance to Irish,Welsh and Scots.
An English girl commenting on English women's blondness:
"Haha do you think those women are really blonde? I live in England and 9 times out of 10 you will discover a big tram-line of dark roots on these women. Not to mention the women have been going crazy on extensions and fake tanning in recent years. "

Most brits arent light haired but rather intermediate to dark hair with light skin and mixed to light eyes (although brown eyes are pretty common too, specially among southern english and welsh people where they reach almost 50% )
And pitch black hair is common among brits, I have quite a few british friend with pitch black hair, wonder they must be imaginary peoples then?
Most common hair color in ireland and wales is dark brown.. over 40% of Irish have dark brown hair.
There are many places in the UK were 3/4 of the population have either darkbrown or black hair.
Black hair is very common in the UK.
Yes they are light-haired , unless you're referring to those of immigrant descent. Now I like to rely on facts and not on some "anti-British" crap. According to proper studies done on the Irish male and females. According to the Irish Medical Journal of Science, 36% of the Irish have dark brown hair, and 31% had light brown hair, while the rest have blondish or reddish hair. The Irish have higher dark brown hair ratios than the British as whole, but black hair is definitely not common, less than 3% have truly black hair. According to the ScottishDNA Project and the Blue Eye Project in 2014, the eye color ratios of the British are as follows 48% blue, 30% Green, 22% brown that is equal to 78% for light eyes. So to me you seem quite ignorant. I have plenty of pictures of Irish people who are blonde, so save the joke. There are plenty of Irish people around the world.
Wales is not by any means dark-eyed, the most common eye color is blue (45%) and over 70% have light eyes. No region of the British Isles has 50% for brown eyes, unless they are from relatively recent immigrant background. Enough of your imagination, the Welsh are not that much darker than the English, in fact Wales has a higher frequency of blue eyes than eastern, southwestern, southeastern England. Please think!
we don't need your sarcastic lies, its an established fact that over 70% of Finland has blonde hair
