    No. If some one was albino they would have white or no color to their hair. Blond has gold or platinum tones to it.

    No.  Although hair color is a genetic trait, it only means that your genes do not support a lot of brown eumelanin.  It is caused by a long gene sequence called KIT ligand (KITLG) and is present in about one-third of Northern Europeans.

    No. Albinos lack pigments so they have white hair. Not sure why they have red eyes though.
