Interesting video about the appearance of Jesus Christ, the person who lived in Judea, in the Roman Empire 2K years ago, not the Son of God, the Messiah.
According to this historian, if there is no mention to the appearance of Jesus in the earliest texts about him, probably he looked like anyone who lived in Judea that time. The research made in bones of people who lived in that place at that time showed that most of them were not black, but they were not as white as europeans.
There is no evidence concerning the hair. We don't know if Jesus had long or short hair, if he had beard or if he used to shave. We don't have to think that Jesus have always had the same haircut during all his life.
Since this thread is about the historic Jesus and not the religious Jesus, I included it in the topics about "History" and not "Religion".

Well, he was Jewish. Beyond that we have been left no clues and, in the end, it doesn't particularly matter. The ancient tendency for different societies to depict him as being a typical member of their own society is a testament to the universality of Christianity and should not automatically be viewed as sinister.

Like men from that part of the world did at the time.  So probably nothing like the Jesus we all know.

Light brown, close to what Arabs look like. He was Middle Eastern, after all.

The image of him looking like an average WC male is highly overrated, the Jews look like that now, because alot of them came from Europe but not back then

All of them came from Europe, but look more Middle Eastern
