      It has to do with our genes! These genes hold the instructions for eye colour, hair colour, height, weight etc.

      It’s down to both DNA and our environment. DNA controls things like hair colour and eye colour. It’s also why we tend to look like our parents and our siblings. 🙂

      Where and when we grow up also has an effect, making us tan or skinny, changing how we style our hair, and influencing what clothes we like.
