DARK BLONDE - Newfound love for the name

**Joliebaby** · August 10th, 2010, 05:02 AM

I just realized that I love the term dark blonde. Dark implies mystery, and combined with blonde it's a wonderful juxtaposition, almost an oxymoron. So I guess I won't feel the need to come up with "exciting" names or descriptions for dark blonde, I just realized it IS exciting to me!

As long as no one says dishwater blonde. I was called that a lot as a kid. I hated that term. I think I will embrace my dark blonde with the meaning you stated. Much better!!!

People always called mine dirty blonde.. It was rather annoying and confusing growing up. I kept wondering why everyone thought my hair was dirty. -.- You'd think that we could come up with a better name.

Few days ago I discovered that my hair is not like "light brown". It's like "dark blonde." Totally, definitely,undeniably and beyond recall. I went to the drugstore with my friend and we were looking at the boxes with hair dyes. I looked at every picture, every brand. At every box my haircolour was "dark blonde" or "xxx blonde", but never "brown". My friend said that probably I have never seen my real haircolour, because I have yellow-ish light in the bathroom, so the colours I see in the mirror are not real. I need to take a picture of my hair in a sunny day.
So I have to change the way I think about my hair. And myself

I behave like a blonde already. Don't feel offended, people! "Blonde" is not a haircolour. It's a way your brain works. So my brain works as if I had blonde hair. Oh, wait... I have blonde hair.
Now it's interesting to be a blonde. "Dark" sounds really mysteriuos!

I experienced this too, few times. People are envious. It's wonderful to be blonde, because blonde hair catches so much light and blonde girls just draw attention

Let's embrace our haircolour
