Naturally blonde at 14 - will it stay?

[Anonymous]

I agree it will most likely darken in her 20s but she is a natural blonde. She just may chose a little help to keep it!

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

46 and still am, though I never wear hats to get the most lightening benefit from the sun

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

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!

Indeed pp burning in the sun to have lighter hair is as dumb as dirt. I am a brunette with skin cancer, it is no joke. My blond DD will get burned on her scalp where hair parts, even while going just to school. Should I smother her scalp with sun block? As a teen, I am sure she would appreciate looking like grease monster!

I haven't tried this, but I have used their face and body sunscreens and they're nice:

+1 Do people really not know this? Blonde hair gets darker as you age into your 20s and 30s.

Yes, some people do not.

My child was blond. Clearly there was a recessive gene carried on my side that hadn't expressed in living memory. We are dark haired going back a hundred years. My husband is brown haired, as are both of his parents.

I put blonde highlights in it now. Similar to the PP, I have pale pink toned skin and it looks better with blonde hair. When my hair is darker, my face looks like a sick ghost.

This is me exactly, except I'm still in my 30s. But same pinkish skin tone, all other body hair (including eyelashes) are blonde, etc.

I'm full Scandinavian on both sides of the family, so I was VERY blond as a kid, a teen and in college. In my 20s, people would ask where I had my color done so they could go to that stylist. I would say I've never colored my hair, this is my real hair. I'm a real blonde.

When I was around 30 (no kids yet), the roots started to grow in much darker -- at least darker in comparison to what I was used to at that time. That's when I started going to get it colored. I'm still blonde a few decades later, but in a darker blond shade to match my current skin tone. There are few things worse on a 50-something woman than shockingly blond hair!

Really? In all the world there's nothing worse than that?

I'm in my 40's and still blonde though it isn't as platinum blonde as it was when I was a child. My hair didn't darken appreciably with having kids either. I've noticed that my hair is a finer texture and thinner than my relatives whose hair darkened with age. My body hair is also relatively sparse .. ie. I don't have to do any extra grooming to wear a bikini.

My sister is still naturally platinum blonde at 41 and I am still dirty blonde/light blonde at 33. Just depends... natural blondes are only considered natural if they keep their blond hair after 30 I believe which is only 2% of the global population.

Unless it's white blonde, then she will eventually become a brunette... although like 90% of us white women who had fair hair growing up, she will still hold onto being blonde like her identity depends upon it and she will spend tons at the salon getting bad dye jobs that make her look like the most basic of basic bitches of dc.

I was blonde well into my teens. Now in my mid 40s, I am a dirty blonde. I was outside a lot more in my teens and twenties. I started to go a darker blond in my 30s. Now that I am getting white hair, it makes it look lighter, highlighted again.

Kinda crazy but my 87 year old grandma still has blonde hair and no grays. She was a tow head as a girl but had dirty blonde the rest of her life.if you didn't know her you'd say it was highlighted. But she has no roots. She also has no gray hair and has never dyed it. Quite a miracle.

She was slightly disappointed none of her children, grandchildren or greats grandchildren were tow heads.

I was an ash blonde all through college but as I have gotten older, my hair has gotten darker. It is still an ash color but it isn't really brown and it isn't really blonde either.

It would probably still be lighter but I wear a hat all the time because of the sun.

Every adult blonde I know dyes their hair. And many say the sane thing: “it’s just highlights”

My sister was blonde as a child but turned brunette sometime around college. She refuses to acknowledge that fact though. She has obsessively died her hair blond since she started turning. Her roots are the sane color as my hair and if I ask her about it she gets really defensive.

My nieces and nephew all had really blond hair as toddlers and it began dulling around 10. By 14 they all had brown hair.

My oldest had golden hair and it’s dulled quite a bit although it’s still called blond. She’s 11. Her eyebrows are invisible (sane color as her skin) so I don’t think she will ever get too dark. But I do think she will have brown hair. Oh, to have her toddler hair as an adult! That would be a look!

With kids I will say it’s funny. Even my nieces who have all gone brown—when I look at them or visualize them I still see blond hair. It’s not but I still see them as blondes. I could see that screwing with your self image.
