Blonds: Is it time you changed your look?

Used to be, that if you wanted to look really hot -- at least in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition kinda way -- you needed blond hair. It makes sense. After all, some (admittedly dubious) studies have suggested that blonds look younger, and men around the world have been lusting after fair-haired bombshells for decades.

But it seems times are changing. With news that (fake) blonds are more likely to develop lymphoma, and billionaires are overwhelmingly more interested in marrying brunettes, there's plenty of reason to doubt the dye job you might have considered a few years ago.

Plus, it's all too easy for an attempt at creative hair coloring to look lame and/or incredibly tacky -- as even celebrities like Jessica Simpson can't keep from going some creepy-looking shade of orange.

So is it better to work with what you've got? Or is there still a part of you that can't resist letting a colorist go to town on your coiffure? In a new poll released today, the ladies at StyleList pursue this pressing question: Two-toned hair -- love it or hate it? Head on over to vote.

Many dark haired women have fair skin and many lighter haired women do have dark or olive skin. Here's a clue : it is the amount of melanoma
in the skin that can lead to lymphoma, not the color of ones hair.
What do you have against blondes, anyway?

There are far more dark haired people in the general population, than there are blondes or red heads. Therefore, more dark haired people will
be represented in a higher proportion in any given survey simply because there are more of them, percentage -wise in the world. Wise up, people.

Also- get a better editor: here is a mistake:

The correct word is too.
Should be:
Plus, it's all _too_ easy for an attempt at creative hair coloring to look lame.

Give it a rest, men love blondes, brunettes, redheads, whatever, stop picking on blondes.

Look what happened to brunette Rosie O'Donnell when she picked on Donald Trumps blond locks.

Brunettes with Irish straight hair: Not everyone has straight hair, Rosie. Using hair goo does not always make it behave. You would have to have blonde or frizzy hair to understand this.

It is like telling Rosie to get her hair curly or frizzy and stop having dead straight dark hair.
Just because Rosie or anyone else has straight hair does not mean the rest of us have to conform to it, our hair does not naturally lay flat and straight and we are tired of the abuse.

I side with Donald Trump on this. Stop picking on our natural hair and see beyong the hair that we have and look at our accomplishments , our spirits and into our hearts for the real person.

People who pick on others about their hair are bullies, and it is time to stop the bullying. Grow up and accept people for what their hair is, stop bulling people about their hair. It is wrong and makes you look petty and foolish to do so.

Thank you.
