This is just a debate that came up at my psychology class I thought would be interesting to discuss on this board. Do you think people treat blondes differently from brunettes? Have you ever noticed that alot of older women for example highschool teachers, treat blonde teenage girl students differently than brunette students? Is it true that a lot of dark haired young women envy natural blondes and want to be blonde? Is that why alot of celebs these days are artificial blondes?? What do you think of when you see a blonde girl? What do you think of when you see a brunette girl? Is blonde hair prettier than brown? |

Personally as far as color goes, I think deep rich browns can be very beautiful and mysterious looking if you will. I like certain blonde colors like Jessica Simpson's 'baby blonde.' For some reason I feel prettier when I am blonde, maybe because I preceive others to think of blonde as a more femanine color. More light, pastel, angelic than brunette? I don't choose to feel this way obviously. As my natural haircolor is very dark. Do any of you feel the same or different? ------------- |

I think a lot of the blonde hype had to do with the thought that being beautiful was being tall, tan, blonde and blue eyed. I think this is now changing, I think people are begining to realise that everyone can be beautiful regardless of their haircolor. I personally perfer dark, but that is because I have dark hair. I don't think all blondes are dumb, and I don't think all brunettes are smart or shy. I deffiently don't envy a blonde girl. I also would'nt say that anyone treats blondes differently. Other than the occasioal dumb blonde joke, which is uncalled for. I don't really think anything about someone being blonde or brunette, if I have a good first impression of someone it's based on thier personality, not hair color. As far as blonde hair being prettier than brown, it just depends on how the haircolor looks on the particular person. I personally would look awful as a blonde, but my Best Friends looks beautiful. ------------- |

In my experience, these stereotypes are things of the past. I think most people realize these days that anyone who still harbors such stereotypes is being silly. I don't think anything different when I see a blonde girl, or a brunette girl, why would I? People will always have their personal favorites when seeking a mate, but for anyone who prefers blondes, there is an equal number of people who prefer brunettes, or redheads, so it all works out. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

I don't think all brunettes are envy of blondes, but I'm sure some are as well as some blondes are envious of brunettes. Some blonde hair is pretty and other blondes not so much. I think some brunettes are pretty and some are not pretty at all. I do think that blondes are treated differently sometimes sometimes in a good way and sometimes bad. I think that has to do with the person giving the treatment, stereo types unfortunately are alive and well for some ppl. I think older women can treat other women badly if the other woman is very attractive- jealousy, but I don't know if that has anything to do with hair color. Then again it might but we are getting back to stereo types again. I think many women go blonde not just celebs bc they think its pretty color, celebs might do it bc they think their career will go farther. If I see a blonde with pretty hair, I think she has pretty hair, same with a brunette. I don't always think blonde hair is prettier, I have seen unattractive colors in both. I wanted to add that some brunettes that are seen as shy- might not be timidity rather introverted. ------------- |

I think that the stereotypes are fading away, but it's more a reflection of the fact that blondes (real or otherwise) are no longer unusual enough to make ignorant generalizations about. In high school almost every girl is either dyed blond or highlighted blond. -------------

I think men treat blondes and brunettes differently, more often than women do. A lot of men seem to be very visually-oriented, and very prone to stereotypes. Thus, they see the blondes as being fun, sexy, and yeah, sometimes airheaded or easy. Brunettes are seen more as smart, shy, dependable, serious. . . more the friend or the one you settle down with than the hot date. I guess women more often know how changeable hair is, and thus are less likely to make assumptions and stereotypes based on it. More often, if a woman makes a bad remark about another woman, it's out of cattiness or jealousy more than just some stereotype. The reason why a lot of celebs are artificial blondes is because female celebs generally want to appeal to males. A lot of males prefer blondes, thus a lot of female celebs go blonde to be popular with them. What I think, usually it doesn't matter to me if a woman is blonde or brunette, so long as it suits her. I try to judge attractiveness and intelligence on a case by case basis; I see Jessica Simpson as stupid because she presents herself as such, not because she's blonde. I have wanted to be a blonde in the past, only because it's easier to dye over than dark hair and doesn't show grey as quickly. Dark hair doesn't really bother me other than those two factors, and the fact my natural shade is too mousy :-P . I like a redder brown. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

As I said before, I felt prettier as a blonde maybe its because I was treated differently. I'm not sure. I felt more confident and more fun, maybe it showed in my personality thus causing people around me to automatically treat me better?? I must say that I do feel sexier as a brunette though. My husband prefers me brunette, maybe that is why. But I guess I always want what I don't have. When I am blonde, I want to be dark and mysterious again, but when I am brunette I want to be light and fun. The only thing that kind of annoys me is how hollywood really boasts about blondeness. Like E! had a show this year about Hollywoods Hottest Blondes. They had catagories like "Blonde Bombshell," "Smarted Blonde," "Most Ambitious Blonde" I remember Pam Anderson hosted it. Most of the stars on that show are not even natural blondes. Nor are they even blonde ALL the time. Why don't they have a show about Brunettes? I don't know. It's like, I get happy with the brown hair and then some external source (like the media) make me feel like its better to be blonde. Like being blonde is some kind of key to get attention and be more successful?? ------------- |

I recently went from super-blonde to brunette and I noticed that I really didn't get as many guys looking at me and I just felt like I lost a lot of confidence (not that guys looking @ me builds my confidence - I'm engaged anyway!!). But I really did feel ugly for awhile after but now I'm used to the brunette. And YES people treated me differently when I was blonde - I have big boobs (not implants) and I always had my boss telling me I was being "too revealing" with what I was wearing (even if I was just wearing a sweater) and now that I have dark hair I wear the same things as before and don't get any remarks. Weird huh?? I guess you just stand out a lot more when you're blonde. ------------- This is because I can spell konfusion with a K It's hard to like it It's to dying in anothers arms And why i had to try it... - Something Corporate "Konstantine" |

I used to have light blonde highlights in my dirty blonde/auburn hair, but now my hair is dyed dark auburn. I feel that I generally got more comments/attention about my hair when it was blonde. The funny thing is, it was other girls that really seemed to think my blonde hair was pretty. I didn't notice any difference from guys. I'm a highschool student, and I notice that a lot of girls at my school seem to be going darker lately. I don't know if there's a good reason for this - it could just be a trend at the moment. Anyway, I feel like brunettes are taken more seriously than blondes, at least in a highschool situation. People still stereotype other people, whether it's fair or intelligent or not. I think people like dyeing their hair different colors to portray a different side of themselves to the public. Everyone has a "blonde" side and a "brunette" side! I certainly don't judge someone's personality on their haircolor... or at least not consciously. Now I'm going to whine. Sorry. What about redheads? My dad's a redhead, and my hair has red tones naturally. Why do redheads always get neglected? Is it because we're a minority? There always seems to be hype about blonde vs. brunette, but never red! Red hair is bold, different, and allows you to dodge blonde/brunette stereotypes. I wonder if men prefer redheads...?  ------------- |

You know, I was wondering the same thing about redheads being left out. My hair has been a ton of different colors/shades, and I have to say I have definitely gotten more attention as a redhead than with any other color! ------------- |

For some reason, red hair is considered sexy on women, but on men it's considered goofy. Not sure why that is. . . subconscious scarring from childhoods watching Howdy Doody or Ron Howard? I like reddish hues in brown hair, and I like the very unnatural burgundy, wine, or true red dyes, but I don't like natural-looking red hair-- too orange for me. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

I am the opposite. At first I colored my hair unnatural red, but after a while I got tired of answering the question, "Is that your natural hair color?" - the only possible answer for which was, "No, are you colorblind?" Now that I'm medium auburn I never get that question, but people do sometimes stop me on the street to compliment my hair color. -------------

I've been all shades under the sun (was baby blonde that got darker and is still getting darker as I get older so now am medium/chestnut brown naturally) and have gotten most complements and attention as blonde but think some people might think I'm a bimbo. Only problem, now I have to double process to get that light blonde. But I love red and brunette too, just don't wear it as well I guess. I think guys with red hair can be hot, even the really red - it is such a beautiful shade. ------------- |

I have to say that I have been both (being a natural brunette who had blonde hair for about 9 years) and received more attention when I was blonde. However, whether blonde hair is "prettier" than brown hair is subjective, and is only in the eye of the beholder (some guys/gals prefer blondes, some prefer brunettes). However, I do feel that if you compared two identical twins, one having blond hair and one having brown hair, I think with everything else being the same, the brown hair gives an air of practicality about it. ------------- |

I wonder sometimes if people purposely ask that question when they obviously know the answer just to be wiseguys :-P . I've never been asked if mine was real when I put unnatural reds on it, but when I was growing out black and had like two inches of roots, I was asked all the time :-P .

| It is interesting that u broguht this up, Amymusic, because on behnidthechair.com in the hair color news section according to the ABCH, the hottest hair color for '05 is brunette. So brunettes are in. lol. That is the most popular color in salons nationwide at the mo! They said the no. 1 is brunette, 2nd was red (woohoo for me), and 3rd was blonde...tho blonde has declined popularity for the first time in years its still pretty popular. Hehe. Just so u know, i'm naturally dark brunette but i guess i "stand out" with auburn red hair! hehe, and it def. makes me feel more confident and exciting than having blonde or dark hair! :) |

Yeah, a lot of girls seem to be dying their hair brunette lately! There are a ton of girls at my high school that have had dyed blonde hair for a long time and now they've all of a sudden gone dark. It's crazy, but it makes me happy to know they're going back to their natural hair colour. I'm starting to think that everyone who dyes their hair will eventually realise that their natural colour wasn't actually that bad... :) Playing around with your hair color is fun, but unfortunately addictive too... ------------- |

Well if you think about it, your natural haircolor is suppose to be the best suited color for your skin tone. I mean its kind of like you got your own color consultation with nature, because that color was created personally just for you. So in the end, natural is the best way to go. So Paris Hilton or Pam Anderson are farthest from their best suited look. Lord knows what that look is, since their natural haircolors remain unknown to anyone in this galaxy. ------------- |

AFAIK, she uses the Coopervision Expressions in blue. They do look pretty darn realistic in pics and on TV, but I've read where people have run into her in a coffeshop or restaurant and gotten close and could tell they were fake. It is a really good lens compared to the other stuff out there. I've got the aqua and the hazel and I like them tons better than the Freshlook or Acuvue colored lenses. I never tried the blue though, didn't think they'd work since my eyes are green, but since I read that she wears the same lens and it does look so convincing, it makes me wanna try them out! ------------- |

well, for me personally, and I have been both, i may have gotten more glances as a blonde, but have been hit on more as a brunette. I don't know, it may be true that the majority of guys eyes are drawn to a light shade, but if it isn't working for you, it won't matter. I look better with dark hair, recieve more compliments with dark hair and i myself prefer it. the bottom line is, some things you can't force. I could try and try and still end up a mediocre blonde, or be true to myself, and SHINE as a brunette!you gotta be whats right for you. ------------- |

I don't necessarily think blonde is better or prettier than brunette. I mean, look at Pam Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith's haircolor. I think it's way too light and fake looking, and it, along with some poor clothing and makeup choices, makes them look tacky. That's just my opinion and I'm not trying to be mean, but there's a difference between pretty blonde and yucky blonde. Kristen Bell (from "Veronica Mars" and "Spartan"), Jessica Simpson, Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron, Diane Sawyer, Shakira, and Joss Stone are all examples of pretty blonde hued hair. Pam Anderson, Anna Nicole, Paris Hilton, Angelina Jolie (in two movies) Courtney Love, Gwen Stefani, their hair isn't necessarily bad, but it's so obviously dyed that it isn't that attractive in my opinion. I think a good blonde hair color is either natural, natural but enhanced, or completely fake but natural looking. There should be depth, dimension, and above all the hair color should complement the persons skin tone and look healthy. Fried blonde isn't pretty, unless you like that cotton candy hair. I guess part of me wishes I had blonde hair, but I had really beautiful light golden blonde as a child that darkened into a dirty blonde, and eventually into a cool brown. I always figured that it was a compromise considering my dad's blonde and my mom has naturally dark brown hair. I got a little of both worlds. But, I do love my brown hair. It's healthy looking and shiny and I think the color is very classy looking. Brunette shades can be incredibly versatile and look good (at least some shade on the huge scale of brunette colors) on anyone. Brown hair goes with most any color outfit and I feel that I have more choices for what to wear than when I had my hair so highlighted for a while that I practically was blonde. Plus, blonde can surprisingly wash people's faces out, just like too dark a color can. I don't have stereotypes of blondes or brunettes, but I guess I have to say I prefer brunettes because I just feel like it's a classier more subdued color category than blonde. Blonde is more striking (I think) because it's less common than the dominant brown (usually when there's the genes for brown hair, they'll win out over blonde or red, not always, but frequently). Also, I think that blondes can make people more attractive or at least they appear so from a distance. I don't know how many guys went out with girls who weren't particularly pretty just because they were blonde. I don't know if anyone else has ever experienced this, but many of my guy friends in college pursued the blonde girl just because she was blonde and they were drawn to that, as opposed to going after the redhead or brunette with the better looking face. Just look at Britney Spears. She's cute, but you can tell that her looks are greatly enhanced by the blonde hair because when she went back to brown for her wedding she looked more everyday average than glam girl. I think everyone's tastes are different and that if you're drawn to one color over another it has to do with what you've been exposed to. I mean, if your mom was blonde and your sisters were blonde, and all your family was blonde, you might go after and be drawn to blondes when you date. If you grew up around attractive brunette role models or family members, you might be drawn to brunettes when looking for someone to date. Or, if you had bad experiences with people of one predominant hair color, you may be attracted to people with the opposite color. Or, you just prefer one color to another for no good reason. I don't know if I like guys with brown hair because most of the people in my family and my friends have brown hair or if I just like it, but for some reason I'm drawn to brown hair. I think a lot of people like to think blonde is prettier or better, but I don't think one color is better than the other, it totally depends on the person. Angelina Jolie is gorgeous with dark hair and Sarah Michelle Gellar is stunning with blonde hair. Colin Farrell is hot as a brunette while Ryan Phillippe rocks the blonde. It's just individual. Could you imagine a blonde Keanu Reeves or a raven haired Jessica Simpson. Maybe they could pull it off, but why mess with a good thing? |

True, probably a medium brunnette shade would look good on her, but her tan is so dark that i don't think certain shades would be "striking" enough on her, if u know wht i mean. I could picture her w/ a chocolate brown. |

I think I definitely picture blondes/brunettes differently-- but only when I can tell it's dyed that color. I think that a lot of girls tend to play to the stereotypes, rather than act as victim to them. Like, a lot of the girls in college seem to want the attention that blondes get, and they want the image that goes along with being blonde. Friday night, party night, almost all the drunk girls I see coming back into the dorms are blonde. I think a lot of girls want the image associated with their hair color, rather than just genuinely liking it. I used to dye my hair black, and I loved it, but I ended up changing it because of the image associated with jet black hair on caucasians. It's something you can't really get around. ------------- hey girl, d'you color your hair? |

I didnt go through all 3 pades of replies so hope Im not beating a dead horse here. I am a natural baby blonde with blue eyes. I grew up with men thinking for one, I was a ditsey blonde with big boobs and no brain, and two, I would get too much unappropriate attention from me. So do I think men treat bruntettes different than blondes yes. I liked being a blonde in the summer because I was at the beath or pool alot and I felt Barbie Dollish with my tan and blue eyes. During the winter I go a darker color which makes me seem warmer and more exotic. I think every color looks good on certain people. My sister is a natural red head with hair down to her butt. Her hair is very curly and she is very fair complected. She looks great with her color on her skin tone. I am normally a warm complexion so right now I have black hair with very ligh blonde highlights and a panel of red underneach in the very back. I like to be different colors at different times. Like right now I just cut all of my hair off. After spending 140.00 dollars on color I cut most of the color off. I am even going shorter this weekend with more of a spikey cut. I combine 2 or more cuts into one single cut so I am original looking. Dont you just hate seeing lots of people wearing the same cut as you? So I mix and match my cuts. Its only hair, it will grow back haha. Well I just wanted to add my .02 to this. Kim  ------------- "Its only hair, it will grow back" |

Not me. I do not like looking like everyone else. I tend to lean toward odd or weird hair cuts. I also like chaning them often. I have yet to find my "PERFECT" hair cut. I change with the seasons, colors and styles. I just showed a picture of a hair cut I designed to a so called FRIEND of mine and she ran out and got her hair cut like that before I had a chance to. Made me so angry. Took me 3 weeks to completely finish working on the design of this hair style and I felt as though this may be my perfect cut. It combined the aspect of long hair and short hair and conveinance and now its gone. haha Not too worried about it. I should shave my head and see if she does it as well. Come to think about it, I think she is trying to steal my identity haha It happens. Oh well, I guess I should take it as a compliment. lolol Kim ------------- "Its only hair, it will grow back" |

I'm naturally brunette but usually go through a blonde phase about once a year (as well as a red phase, a dark phase, a curly phase, etc, etc...), and I immidiately notice a difference in reaction after bleaching... Although that could have to do with a multitude of factors. It may simply look better on my complexion, it may be that I prefer a solid, super-light look (which is much more uncommon than a few highlights or chunks, which the majority of women in this small city seem pleased with), or it could be attributed to, as someone mentioned above, the fact that I FEEL more confident, therefore carry myself better. I like to think it's a nice healthy combination of the three, although I think the third explanation has more to do with it than anything. I'm thinking about going blonde again on Friday, actually... it's about that time of year again. ------------- |

Yup I Do! I've been both Blonde and Brunnett and I defo prefer Brunnett, apart from the fact that brown hair looks healthier than blonde hair I also think that girls with brown hair look more unique....so many girls have highlights or blonde hair and mainly because they think they'll look more attractive because of it, but to have brown hair and still look attractive is more appealing I think, anyway there are way too many blondes in the world. Brunnett hair rocks. |

Everyone, including myself :) agree that red hair suits me waaaay more than my nat. black hair! Its soo strange that something "not natural" on me makes more look and (feel) better. I'm not even michael jackson plae yet lighter reds suit me a lot! I guess i'm just unusual in that sense, hehe. Anyways, I;ve never looked at blondes or brunnettes in different ways, the onyl thing i notice is if there's someone exceptionally good-looking. I mean, who doesnt? In guys, I tend to like the dark haired ones more but not always, like certain guys look better w/ light blonde hair and darker eyebrows (hehe hot!) Anyways here's an example: Most pple might tend to think of a popular high-school cheerleader girl as blonde, not the case, I've seen in movies that this role is played by blondes and brunnettes alike, and I guess its just a matter of who's the 'prettier' face. Does any1 know where I'm coming from? |
