Talk:Blond

Blonde hair evolved because it is more attractive?

There is much scientific research that blonde hair evolved because it was more attractive. We should incorporate such information into this article. Here is a journal article from the Institute of Psychology on this topic:

Attractiveness of blonde women in evolutionary perspective: studies with two Polish samples.

Here's another interesting article on blonde hair and helping. In this study, people were more likely to help a blonde!

Hitchhiking women's hair color.

Isn't that a point of view WP:NPOV? —Sandahl (♀) 05:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

No, that is what scientific research is showing. EasternAryan (talk) 18:38, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I doubt this. Sounds like POV to me, especially because they only surveyed Polish people (and Eastern Europeans tend to be more fair than other segments of the population).

And why is that Afghan woman pictured? her hair looks like none of the descriptions for blondes, also she is clearly a brunette. --Maladroitmortal (talk) 03:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

This is just a wild hypotheses, which became popular via the gossip media. Most of the science world disagrees with this single study completely.

According to this logic, blonds would be all over the planet and not just in the dark north. It's obviously a selection due to the sunlight deficiency.

Thus, it should be made clear, that this view is not the consensus of the majority and even opposed strongly. Pomelo, 24 June 2010

picture of isabella I

this same picture is in the "auburn hair" article and says she was a natural auburn. i think it is confusing ... and this one looks wrong as i think she really did have auburn hair in the picture. 75.37.162.113 (talk) 01:57, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Billy Idol

Surely it is nonsense to say that Billy Idol is 'best' known for his blond hair? I suspect he is best known for his singing, although he may certainly also be known for having blond hair. --86.15.17.142 (talk) 20:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

blondes

Almost all the people in the last section of the article used to present blonde people are not even truly blond, they are people with brown hair who dye. The simple truth is in the fact that their eye brows are from dark brown or black to light brown. The other proof is where you see the finnish girl who has blonde hair, blond eye brows, and blonde eye lashes. My best friend from school for 14 years was an actual blond (both his parents are 100% blond too) and his hairs from his head, eye brows, eye lash, and even arm hair is all blonde. Only people with dyed hair have different color eye lash or eye brow, or arm hair than head hair. I think this article seems to exaggerate the number of blond people and it claims that something like there is 0% of black hair people in scandinavia. That is a joke, there are more black hair white people in scandinavia than blondes. Normal hair colors here are brown, light brown hair. About 1/5th of whites here have natural blond hair into adult hood. the rest brown or black hair.

There is almost no truth to this entire rant you went on, and it would all be original research anyway. I and my three daughters are all natural blondes, and we all have brown-to-black eyelashes and eyebrows of varying shades of brown. Your statement lacks any merit whatsoever.214.3.138.234 (talk) 12:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)Steve
