I have never had blond hair, and often wonder if I would be treated differently if I colored my hair blond.
My hair was blond for a while when I was younger. Plus I always thought that all hair was "blonde" but that's only female hair, as male hair is "blond"!
Well I wasn't aware of that!  Thanks for the insight.  I am native american, but my granddaughter was born blonde.
Cool! That was due to the low levels of dark pigment called eumelanin.
Blond
Actually if it was your granddaughter it would be blonde, since again she is a female and not a male!
My daughter's father is a red head, so I assumed it came from his side of the family.
That would make sense, especially since there are many shades of blonde, from pale blonde to reddish "strawberry" blond.
True!  It's amazing that features such as eye color and hair color can change so much between generations.
I know, it's so interesting. It's also interesting that the word blond has two possible origins.
I've seen it spelled both ways, but I never really knew why it could be blond or blonde.
