Is blonde hair more attractive?

[Anonymous]

Why are there so many bottle blondes?

So many white "blonde" women I know, it turns out, actually natural brunettes who have worn their hair blonde since high school. Why so? They looked lovely with their natural hair as well! Is it a social/prestige thing?

Natural blonde is gorgeous. The fake bottle-blonde straw-like dark-rooted hair common around here, not so much.

I like bottle blondes when it looks like a natural blonde color. Over processed hair never looks good.

They say your childhood hair color actually looks the best with your skin tone. For a lot of white woman, that is some shade of blonde. I was a medium blonde as a child but medium brunette by my teen years. I look 100% better as a medium, "natural" blonde. I've tried going back to brown (and red and other things), but not a single person in my life cares for it or thinks it looks natural.

I'll bite. My natural hair color used to be a light brown and now it comes in grey. I need to get my roots done every 3 weeks and I usually get blonde highlights put in to blend. I don't like my hair to be "too" blonde so occasionally I'll get low lights to darken it up a bit.

I get a lot more men checking me out when my hair is blonder vs. browner. It has to be the hair. I think American men are conditioned to think blonde hair is more attractive on a woman.

Interesting justification. I have a white blond, brown eyed five year old. He has dark brown eyes, tan skin, brown eyelashes and brown eyebrows. Although I love his blond hair, I question whether it is the color that is best suited for his skin tone. We'll see when his hair gets darker.

I've noticed the same thing.

Totally, totally depends on the person and their coloring / features. My (personal, and totally a generalization) impression is that blondes tend to be cute and brunettes tend to look hot

I've heard that a lot, but it's not true for everyone...like me. I've had red hair for most of the last 20 years; I started dying it from my natural brown when I was 17. I went back to my childhood-natural brunette a few years ago, and it just washed me out. I'm very open with the fact that I dye my hair, but most people think I'm a natural redhead because it works so well with my coloring.

I think it has less to do with "matching skin tone" but more to do with the fact that blonde hair is a signifier of youth because many children have blonde hair that turn dark over time.

Youth / fertility = beauty. Many people who are bottle blondes wouldn't get a second look without the fake color. Think Gwyneth Paltrow; she's naturally a brunette. If you look at pictures of her as a brunette she looks nowhere near as good as when she has blonde hair.

You look better as a blonde because it makes you look younger than you are. The fact that you were blonde as a child doesn't mean that your bottle blonde is somehow more natural now.

This is why personally, I think that brunettes that are beautiful are actually beautiful. Many blondes that people deem as beautiful or pretty really aren't. But natural blondes that make their hair darker that are still beautiful are actually beautiful.

Agree. It looks trashy.

I don't know, I think there is something to the idea that we've all been conditioned to think blonde hair = pretty or beautiful. Look at someone like Blake Lively. Look at her face. She's a butterface. If you take away her blonde hair and fake boobs, she wouldn't be so pretty.
