Not that I have seen. I am from there and was just there over the holidays. Not a highlight to be found.

In the midwest, lots of highlights.

I didn't know anyone highlighted their hair any more

Please don't highlight your hair.

I'm French, from Paris.

Get over yourselves and stop typifying "French women".
It reduces a whole nation to a false caricature of themselves, and that's rather demeaning.

Another New Englander and SLAC grad here and it describes me too. Except I do highlight my hair as I am a very fading blonde whose hair would be dishwater color if I didn't. Otherwise, very minimal make up for me and no nail polish- I just pick it off so it's a huge waste on me.

Just the phrase, "French women" is hot.

Careful. Don't hurt your arm.

Not that poster, but Selective Liberal Arts College. Think Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore and that ilk.

SLAC?

Astounding revelation on my part.

This is true for many people. It never occurred to me to color until I wanted to hide grey.

That's me. I am a dark brunette, blue eyes. I get pedicures, but never wear fingernail polish.

I wear make-up--but very natural. Tinted moisturizer, not foundation, etc.

This is sort of an Ivy, east coast thing too.

PP here. That's me, too. My natural color is (was) auburn and it never occurred to me to color it until it started fading, when I was around 40.

I wear similar (minimal) makeup to what you do, plus mascara (because I am so fair), and never wear fingernail polish.

I'm an East Coast, SLAC grad. FWIW.
