A: What color hair do you have?
B: I have blond / black / brown / grey / red hair.
Are there only 5 kinds of color hair?
Do we have more kinds of color hair?
Do you have the term 'white hair'?
Sometimes people become really creative about describing hair. I've heard these:
strawberry blond (very light blond with a slightly reddish cast; I have a nephew who has hair this color.)
dark blond - somewhere between blond and brown (My daughter has hair this color.)
auburn - reddish brown, sometimes with gold-looking highlights (I have sisters-in-law with this color.)
salt and pepper - someone with dark hair as an adult, but now it's turniing gray, so it's a mix of both colors
Other teachers may give you more colors; the only real differences are in the descriptions.
Yes there is the term "white hair" and it's not the same as gray. My mother has salt-and-pepper hair; my father's hair is gray; my father-in-law's hair was white. There's a definite difference.

Oh, I thought of another -- as babies and small children my father, aunt, 2 uncles, brother, daughter, and I all had such white-blond hair, we were referred to as "towheads."
There is one color of "white" hair we call "silver".
There are also shades of brown from a golden brown, tawny brown, reddish brown. We try to describe hair color as graphically as possible.
There are actually many more colors of hair beyond the ones mentioned. Hair colors can vary greatly depending on factors such as genetics, ethnicity, and individual variations. In addition to those mentioned, some common hair colors include brunette (dark brown), auburn (reddish-brown), strawberry blonde (reddish-blonde), and silver (grayish-white).
Regarding the term "white hair," it is often used interchangeably with "gray hair." As hair loses its pigment with age, it can appear gray or white. "White hair" is generally used to describe hair that has lost almost all pigment, resulting in a very light or white appearance. However, it is important to note that everyone's hair grays at a different rate and there can be various shades of gray or white hair.
