Actually, unless he went into detail in one of the histories I haven't read (always possible), Teleri hair wasn't really covered. Vanyar were golden-haired, Noldor were mostly dark-haired, but Teleri? We know some of them have silver hair and some of them have dark hair. That's it.

I'm actually in favor of a lot of Teleri having bland blond (not golden) hair which is recessive to everything, so their noble families can keep throwing out that recessive-to-dark silver hair without excessive inbreeding.

There is a mention about the Teleri royal family having silver hair, and I doubt that would have been underlined as something unusual if all the Teleri had that hair color. So presumably the Teleri were usually dark-haired.

I'm not sure about Teleri who did go to Valinor specifically, but in HoME 11 Tolkien does mention that "In general the Sindar appea to have very closely resembled the Exiles, being dark-haired, strong and tall, but lithe. Indeed they could hardly be told aparrt except by their eyes (...)".

They're elves. They don't have genetics.

(in my headcanon at least)
