Blonde Hair Anyone?

[mistee11]

Well I'm just gonna say this... IMO there are really only 2 women who can pull off wearing their hair blonde and that's Mary and Keisha Cole. There's something about the way they do it... they just own it! Anybody else needs to just sit down! Naw but for real tho' you just gotta have the right ratio... you can't be skillet black with blonde hair it just won't do!

 

[xxBlackRosexx]

I used to wear my hair like this...but it only suits a certain complextion - beyonce and keisha can pull it off - it does not look good on everyone!

I think you have to be beyonce's complextion or lighter -

Depends on the person. Since this thread was started the trend seems to have (thankfully) died for the most part. I'll admit I hate to see someone with bleach blonde dreads weeping over the relaxed sisters. I ran into a person like this and I respectfully pointed out that her naps are not naturally blonde.

I have to say: i use to have blonde hair: and I didn't look stupid: i'm black now and i like it better: but my roomie is a blonde and she doesn't look stupid w/ blonde hair

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

O.KAY??? Srsly.

And I've done blond before - it depends on the shade. A honey golden blonde looked AMAZING on me - I mean, I was too hot for words. Ate the mess out of my hair (it was the deathstamp for my locs) but hotdamn, I looked good. I also did a brighter, yellower, almost platinum blond, and no. Just - NO. Under no circumstances, no. I was really happy I planned on going red over it, anyhow.

Very beautiful! I honestly think a lot of people have seen blonde done wrong - probably do it yourself colorists who choose hues that absolutely clash with their coloring, or with lots of roots showing, not well styled, etc. I think there is a right way to do blonde for most black women. I have seen some darker women who look gorgeous with the contrast in hair color and their skin. So to generalize by saying black women with blonde hair look stupid.......hmmmm...

I will say that when my hair got overbleached and was yellow blonde I hated it - it was too unnatural looking for me. I prefer a warmer, darker blonde. But to each his/her own.

She looks lovely. However, she is very fair and has light eyes -thus, a lighter color would not wash her out. As many have stated it is about complexion and tones. Case in point, with your lovely friend here!

Totally agree with you. I'm "darker" and have been different shades of blonde since I was 16, straight hair included and I look good with it It depends on the tone you choose for your skin, my friend's biracial and looks washed out with cooler (blonde) tones, but the warmer ones look great on her- I however look better with cooler tones Frankly I don't get what the biggie is, just like there are people with messed up weaves, braids, hair etc so there are those with messed up "straight blonde hair" but it's plain ignorant to make a generalisation on it

Now, see, I feel silly because I voted "yes" that black women look stupid with straight blond hair, but after seeing your fly picture, I can now think of a ton of black women light and dark that have looked really pretty with straight blond hair. I don't think it's all in the complexion-I had a sorority sis who has a complexion as dark as mine and she dyed her natural hair blonde and it was very flattering...until her hair broke off .

 

[blasiancurlie]

i voted "yes" but i think i just changed my mind cause this is so fly!

[casey3035]

I think it depends on your skin tone look at Beyonce but there are blacks born with blonde hair and Im talking dark skin people. People are just not use to seeing it so they think it's not normal but it is.
I'll see if I can find some pictures.

Yes, black women with nice chocolate brown skin like Serena Williams (yeah I said it) look ridiculous with blonde, straight hair.

Complexion isn't only about how dark or light brown your skin is.

Your undertones have a lot to do with what color hair looks good on you.

Just because someone that is dark brown looks bad with a particular shade of blonde doesn't mean that EVERYONE as dark as her is going to look bad.

There are thousands of different variations of the dark (and light) skin.

So yes, there are many black women who look good with the RIGHT blonde to suit their complexion.

ITA with the above statement!

A sign from God that you shouldn't have been dealing with blond in the first place. How horrible. It reminds me of the Malcom x movie where he couldn't rinse the perm out because the cops had cut the water.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[yuriko]

I think Beyonce pulls it off, there are many other black chicks that pull it off, so I voted NO

 

[asummertyme]

ooooo gurl that is crazy!!!!

I remember about 13 years ago, my darker skin sister and I were dying our hair golden blonde. Anyway, we were at my oldest sister house and they had cut the water off because they were working on the lines. Well little did we know they had cut the water off until we tried to rinse the dye out. We had no water to rinse the dye out of our heads,so my sisters boyfriend told us to get into the car and he would drive us to my house, which was about 15 minutes away. Here we are on the highway and my sister's boyfriend car breaks down. Yes, my sister and I still had the dye in our hair. Long story short, we stuck on the free way with a broken down car and dye in our hair that had been in for at least 45 minutes. We spent about an hour on the freeway trying to fix the car. My sister and I was sitting in the back seat laughing talking about "ooo gurl..if we don't hurry up and get this stuff out of our heads, we are going to look like two black Lucille Ball's. Almost 2 hours and some later, we got to my house and rinsed it out. It was Murder...Our hair was orange and was tore up(damaged). That was the last time I ever looked at dye..

Sorry so long!

I think it depends on the person's skin color. My mom has a blond weave in her hair before and it look really nice, she is medium brown complexion but it was not a platinum blond, it was a dark blond. Serena Williams looks like a damn fool with the blond hair. Eve doesn't look bad with it to me.

Everytime I see the title of this thread it just cracks me up! And it keeps appearing!

I say to each her own, but you won't catch me with no blonde hair!

[BeautifulNameX]

I am very dark. I rocks blond sometimes and I get compliments on it.

 

[v2.0]

That's not blonde; that's orange.

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

I voted no, just because I AM a black woman who's a natural blonde, and I don't think I looked stupid.

on sistas of varying complexions, blonde hair will give them varying looks.

So it kinda depends....

 

[BeautifulNameX]

This can be debated till the wheels fall off but the bottom line (in my honest opinion) is that black women who are darker than say Beyonce or Keysha Cole do look stupid with especially light shades of blonde. I mean, why set yourself up to look like somebody's clown?erplexed All some people need is a red ball to put on their nose. Hello Bozo!

However, blonde highlights can look good on darker individuals because its not in excess and is merely complimenting your darker colored hair.
