Most adult women with natural blonde hair belong to the Scandinavian group of people, usually with light skin complexion and blue eyes. An average blonde has approximately 140,000 hair strands, about 1/3 more than that of a brunette.
Natural Blonde
Natural blonde hair usually gets darker as one gets older. However, natural blonde hair is also more likely to fade away genetically with the passing of time. If the mother was a blonde and the father had brown hair, it is more likely that their children will also have brown hair, but a lighter shade than that of the father.
People have the tendency to criticize blondes as submissive and innocent. This is in accordance with some American researches that the apparent innocence and shyness of blondes are the reasons why they are very attractive to men. This is also a reason why those with darker hair shades color their hair with a lighter shade.
False Blondes
The first blond wigs were evident during the ancient Greek and Roman times, made from hairs of slaves coming from the north. Blond hair became prevalent during the 20th century when means of hair coloring were invented. After the war, hair dying and coloring became so popular all throughout the world including the Czech Republic. According to research conducted by Sunsilk, 80% of Czech women dye and color their hairs, which about 1 prefer blond hair color or a combination of blond with other shades.
Blond hair means more care
Maintaining the lasting beauty of blond hairs could pose some problems. With the passing of time hair color fades, loses its luster and shine. A major factor that causes falling hair or trichatrophia is direct exposure to sunlight, particularly prolonged exposure. Unlike natural blond hairs that make the hair shiny after a vacation, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may substantially change the hair’s natural color for artificial blondes. A beautiful golden blonde shade could turn as bad as to that of a “mouse-color“.
What’s with it?
If blondes, whether natural or dyed, would like to maintain the beauty of their hair color, herbs, chamomiles or even sage leaves could be of great help. But still, the most simple, fastest and most effective solution is to use special shampoos and conditioners especially made for blonde hair color. As a result, blondes can now easily maintain their hair color, intensity, luster and shine.
