Yeah. Sandra Bullock looked awful in 'The Blind Side' as a blonde. She's looks very young for her age as a dark brunette. |
Actually, nah. It's harder to keep your greys at bay when you have dark hair. People go lighter with age or they would literally have to be dying it every week or so. |
+1 I married a green-eyed blonde. He has only dated brunettes. He loves brunettes. I'm a blue-eyed brunette who only dated blonde men prior. I have a thing for the Vikings and Scandinavians. My teen sons are blue-eyed blondes. One has my olive coloring and tans very easily. The other is fair like my husband. |
I’m the PP who would look like Jennifer Connelly or Rachel Weisz as a blonde. I’m a medium olive Jew with nearly black hair. I had strawberry blonde hair till I was five. |
You’re insecure OP. I’m a short Asian American woman and it’s ridiculous to me that you don’t feel like your looks are represented still. |
Funny, the lighter my hair is, the less attention I would get, I look washed out. Don't ever assume that this blonde myth is true. |
You sound so kind. (lol). I bet you describe yourself as a feminist too? Well you aren't. |
Whatever your hair color, as long as it's full and shiny I'm sure it will turn heads (if that's what is important to you).
Unfortunately that is an exceedingly rare trait as we get older. |
Oddly, mine also darkened to a reddish brown during pregnancy and nursing, both times. Then it went back to warm blonde.... I was never ash blonde. Now I have greys, but not as much as most my age- 60s. Very few grays |
ITA. Those brunettes are level 3 or 4, so at max they can go to 6, which is a medium brown. I'm a level 6 naturally and can go to 8 base (medium blonde) easily and without bleach. I get highlights to make it lighter, but I'm not going to try 12. Also, if you go 3+ shades blonder, you need to color the eyebrows too. There are so many celebrities who look atrocious with blonde hair: kendall jenner, billie eilish, shay mitchell, kylie jenner, zendaya, selena gomez. Some get it right: lucy hale, rosie huntington-whiteley, gigi hadid, jennifer aniston. Those started with a lighter natural base. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/393079873727464582/ |
Same, obsessed with Scandinavian men! |
I think someone like Reese Witherspoon looks great both as a brunette and a blonde. Although I believe her natural color is blonde so that’s probably why she can rock both looks. I do think Angelina Jolie however it looks exceptional as a brunette and terrible as a blonde. |
I think people who get fixated on stuff like this are usually not responding to the actual cultural zeitgeist (which I agree hasn't preferred the icy blue-eyed, blonde look over others for decades) but to something more personal. I had a friend in college who was always complaining about how "everyone" at our school was blonde and thin and tall and it made her feel unattractive. She was thin, gorgeous, and had dark hair and huge and beautiful brown eyes, and I was always confused by her complaints because our school was very diverse and while there were tall thin blondes, they definitely didn't dominate the school or even the sororities. Turns out her mom was blonde but she'd inherited her dad's coloring and had always felt weird about it. She wanted to look like her mom. When she went places, her eyes would be drawn to the blonde women and she simply would not see other people, thus giving her the impression that "everyone" looked that way. It was 100% her issue and didn't really have anything to do with what other people thought our preferred. Guys drooled over her wherever she went and she still had this idea that if only she was taller and blonder, her life would be better. It was sad. |
It’s cultural. BTW, Argentina and Brazil have many people of Italian descent. |
. BS. I don't find Italian women to be some rare coveted beauties. Sure they are many attractive women but I've never heard Italian women lauded as a whole for their beauty. |
