Lots of Women and Men have blonde/light brown hair as a child and then it darkens with age.

And some where the tonality is relatively the same since ever.

[Donlupedron]

I had blond hair as a kid. It turned light brown when I was about six or so. It could also be noted that I was one of the darker kids in the class.

I've heard numerous times that (light) women get darker hair after they give birth to children.

that might be in countries/places like Finland, sweden, denmark, holland, northern germany, norway, etc. But in countries like UK, Ireland, US, Canada most girls over 12 (or some even around 5 or 6) years old are not blonde anymore.. so my question was directed to the later..

Or do you think the "blondes do it better" and "men prefer blondes" movies who were produced by US media would have taken place in a country where natural blonde adults are very common? lol.. certainly not the case in the US and most of UK/Ireland.

Yep ..hair color doenst always get's darker. Its a myth. The thing is that most western media is dominated by US and UK ..countries where blonde adults are somewhat uncommon.

Here's a dirty little secret: plenty of those "natural blondes" in Scandinavia and the other places you mentioned dye their hair lighter as well.

[costamarianavia]

What about yours, la bombe? I'm thinking dyed, but it still looks pretty good.

Have been in Scandinavia and Northern Germany? Or, are you speaking things out of ass?

[LeaderBiz]

I have a few friends who are in their 20's who have natural platinum blond hair, but from my observation brown hair is much more common in adults.

She speaks based on ignorance. I was not even refering about women..but also about men.. and statics have proven that less than 2% of men dye their hair of any color...so lets figure.

i havent been to norway yet despite meeting some norwegians abroad but i would say dark blonde is the most common hair color in denmark and sweden (for adults) and the other countries i mentioned before ..i dont know about people in norway. In the other hand the "brown hair" you are mentioning as average is quite different than the brown hair arabs , southern europeans or brits/americans (anglosphere in general) refers to probably.. its a matter of what you are used to see in daily life which create your own perceptions and define what is or not blonde. Im sure Most of those brown haired norwegians would be refered as blonde in many other nations where blonde hair is uncommon, Specially japan

Also it depends on the place you make statements about. I have been in countryside areas in denmark where it was hard to see somebody with non blonde hair. so that means not all scandinavia is the same there are regional variations too.

Wikipedia states that men would have a higher frequency of blond and red hair than women. They give the following two studies as sources. I can't access the first one, and I can't find where this is stated in the second study. I tried searching the article for key words and skimming it, but I don't have the interest to read it word for word.

The strangest thing. I was blond as a child with freckles. Now I am as all my cousins and grandfather from Karelia, red haired, freckles have not disappeared. 1 generation was left out in this hair colour totally as could happen of course.

Talking from personal observation.
I have yet to come across a natural blonde british girl over the age of 20. Most of those suppossed "natural blondes" i have been along have had some sort of chemical help. Yet i have met quite a few natural blonde men in the UK, however they make up a minority of the british male adult population. I would say overall the UK is no blonder than switzerland(maybe even less).. as hard as it sounds .. it would make the UK one of the least blonde places in europe baring mediterranean and balkan countries.

Have anybody noticed that before?
Is the gender disparity of blondeness caused because of the fact that the invasions and the foreign input was mostly carried by males who invaded the islands centuries ago so the females keep carrying unaltered native briton ancestry which is manifested in the average physical of the british and irish woman nowadays. Relatively short legs , very often black or dark brown hair color, short statures compared with people from continental(germanic and slavic) europe .

Yes, I was making this point to Viking that all 'Northern Europeans" are not very blond, and I pointed out people in the UK as not being particularly blond (same is true of Ireland) although they live in "Northern Europe"...I do think Brits are more blond than Swiss though, but just a little bit. I've spent more time in Switzerland than in the UK (a lot more, only been to the UK once, and only to the London area, so I'm not sure who was really "British" anyway) but there are really not many natural blonds in Switzerland. Brown or black hair is normal there, red hair is almost unknown...blond is maybe, I would guess 80% of the children, but only about 10-15% of the adults. This probably varies in Switzerland too, I bet there are more blonds on the border area of the Germany than on the French border area...I noticed a distinct darkening when we went into the Romande area (French speaking area) than in the German speaking area...

I think Debian wants to discuss gender differences in adult hair colour. Maybe we could save our personal stories about our hair colour for another thread?

I remember reading somewhere that Blondism and Depigmentation in general is more common among females of all races.

women have fairer skin on average, this is true, but I don't know if this affects hair.

http://www.vdare.com/sailer/050612_blondes.htm


By only about 10% or so, pretty much in every ethnic group...so even in some place like Southern Sudan women are slightly lighter than men, which is probably why we almost universally associate "fairness" with feminine.


But I also read, on average women were more likely to have green eyes than men, but I'm not sure about blue vs brown...

A study of Icelandic and Dutch adults found green eyes to be much more prevalent in women than in men. Among European Americans, green eyes are most common among those of Celtic and Germanic ancestry, about 16%.[44 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color


My observations in Switzerland were that there were more blond women, but then again this is tricky...at night it is harder to tell if it is a good hair dye job.

Sometimes people's hair becomes blond when they are out in the summer months, but men often avoid this by wearing hats, women usually don't...

I guess the best study would examine people's roots and in the winter time. :-)

it smells like a sort of agenda.. seems in your fantasy world norwegians are darker than french.

If most norwegians adults are like those you posted then norwegians are not much different than greeks.

Not at all, Norwegians have very different phenotypes from Greeks.

They look pretty dark compared to most adults i have seen in Finland,sweden, denmark,northern germany/holland. However im still waiting someone to explain what does have to do corded ware component and why the lack of it should be affecting the amount of blonde people in places such as the UK.

I have noted such studies which took place in Finland can take a diferent direction in the UK considering the later received invasions several times by people which different pigmentations and looks, and if we take in consideration conquerors are usually men that can really make a disparity in terms of pigmentation and looks regarding genders. The native briton genes should have stayed more prevalent in the maternal dna sides therefore they would be more expressed in the females rather than the males. Same thing ocuured in many latin american countries where the invaders/settlers were spanish or portuguese conquerors.

Norwegians in bunch. Without agenda!
