Ever since, obsession with beauty has been a theme that poets have written about and soldiers have kept grainy photos in their pocket. This beauty comes with a blonde hairstyle and it exudes glamour and sexuality. Every hairdresser knows that this color has a special effect on people. But why exactly “blonde”?
Hollywood taught us...
When you think of a “blond bombshell”, think not only of the woman herself, but also of the glamour of the desire that surrounds her. Everyone first thinks of Marilyn Monroe.
With her blonde hair, she was the center of every room she entered. Because she was aware of this, she even refused to play alongside someone with the same hair color or under lighting that would make her protective color different.
“You cannot separate the context of what a blonde represented in Hollywood from what you want to be associated with when you dye your hair that color.”
The pioneer of platinum blondes - Jean Harlow
Jean Harlow enthralled moviegoers with her sultry sexuality and shocking blonde hair when Marilyn Monroe was still in kindergarten.
Her first recognizable hairstyle and “platinum color” were designed by Max Factor himself.
“When I dye someone new a light color and they leave the salon, you realize that the hair color ties their style together. It complements them. You don’t even remember what color they might have started with. You notice them more.”
Will blonde always be the ideal beauty?
Only 2% people worldwide are naturally blonde and the more limited and inaccessible something is, the more desirable it is. Because of this, today people all over the world are bleaching their hair to stand out more (with the exception of nations where most people have lighter hair, e.g., Scandinavians). Will it always be like this?
Given that it is already difficult to distinguish between natural and “unnatural” blondes and blondes today, it may happen in the future that the blonde color will lose its uniqueness as well.
