43 year old. My hair was white when I was little, became strawberry blonde in puberty. As I aged, my hair actually became lighter. When I turned 38 it became lighter instead of going grey or white. People always compliment me on my hair, it’s super blonde now and down to my waist. The only downside is also having white eyebrows and lashes. |

Never noticed it going brown. Darker ye, but not brown.
The blondes of my childhood are still blondes. They just had nicer natural highlights since being out and about is what we did all summer. |
Over 30 (but under 40) and still solidly blonde - haven’t dyed or highlighted since some experimentation in high school. But I completely agree with everyone that it gets darker over time - I’m certainly darker than I was when I was 15 and I anticipate that will continue |
I was blonde at 14... and gray by 40! Started going gray at 20, noticeable gray streak at 25, and it's all gray now at 39.
Enjoy! |
Is it so bad being a brunette? I am a natural brunette and life isn't all bad! |
46 and still am, though I never wear hats to get the most lightening benefit from the sun |
No, early 20s is when it darkens. Unless your kid has white hair. That'll stay. |
Nothing worse than women whose identity is centered around being blonde so much that they dye their hair blonde for decades after it's turned brown. |
I’d much rather have the skin cancer protection from hats than the lightening “benefit” of the sun but I’m sure you will look much better as a blond with melanoma than you would as a healthy brunette ![]() |
The fact that you think about this enough to post about it is sad. |
Seriously! Bet you’ll make a lovely blonde corpse. Melanoma is no joke. |
You can have an uncovered head and wear sunscreen. Wow, bitter brunettes! |
It is far better to do both, especially if you have fair skin like most blondes. - a redhead with absolutely no desire to be blond. |
Bitter brunettes? FYI, most people aren’t at all jealous of your hair nor do we think it makes you as special as you think you are. |
