This thread is interesting!! It does depend on the individual though...sometimes I'll see a black woman with blonde hair and go.."Wow...that color looks great on her!!!"...then other times I'll see someone and think..."Wow.....what was she thinking...." so it depends.

Ditto

Depends on the woman...
her complexion, swagger, etc.

I was in Barns and Noble and saw this young girl with beautiful back length light brown w/ a hint of strawberry blond textured hair. Of course I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. I made my way over to her slowly to get a better look. She was young, 14/15,and looked mixed to me (black/white) and she was with a boy who look like her so I figured they were bro & sis. The boy asked wheres mom and the girl pointed (I turned my head like I was lookin for her too ). Mom had her head down in a book, back towards us. Her hair was mid-back lenght and blonde. I figured the mom was white and dad black, When mom looked up and turned around I had a physical reaction, I jumpped & gasped because she was Grace Jones dark with blond box braids . I couldn't believe my eyes. So I had to stick around and see the dad. He was very pale, small statured, blonde hair- blue eyed man. I figured she must have some issues to do that to her self inorder to want to fit in w/ the familyerplexed . THe hair color and texture must complement the skin tone

lol you all playin detective to get to the bottom of it.
that poor woman probably felt really out of place when her kids came out blonde, but dye is obviously not the answer, lol... she should have just accepted what it was and not embarrassed her kids like that. But man... that is pretty funny... Reminds me of when my aunt dyed her hair blonde and shes the same color--- turned around and tried to dye it black and that mess went purple!... never know, maybe that woman knew she made a mistake and was growing it back out?
LOL grace jones... Im rollin...

I think it depends on the woman's swagger! We black girls can pull off alot of thangs!

 

[tt8]

LMAO!!!! If yall just saw Beyonce walk the wrong way on the AMA'S with that blonde hair (dumb blondes)...This thread took on a whole new meaning to me... I lUUUVS her but that cracked me up!!

 

[Jade Feria]

For the most part, my answer to that question would be yes...but it depends on the person. What looks good on one person may not be flattering to another. Also, it depends on the color of blonde....I think darker blonde/very light brown tones look better.

Ive tried to but apparently she hasn't learned

Ahhahahahahahahah...This is a hilarious thread!!

When it looks unnatural. Bulky, really platinum, shade doesnt match skin color.
But thats the same with any color imo.

I agree that if a dark-skinned female who has naturally dark hair dies it blond, it doesnt look good---but at the same time, if a light-skinned female or even white person for that matter who has naturally light hair dies it black....it looks horrible......(Beyonce, Brittany spears...)
That happens just as much as darker women with blond hair.

 

[Blkprincess]

not all black women, some black women can pull it off...some just have that right undertone to their skin to where it beautiful, look at Eve and Beyonce. My sister in law can pull it off too because of her skin undertone, I mean most of her fine body hair is blonde, so is her son (light-skinned), but what is hilarious is his fraternal twin- brown-skinned with the same blonde body hair. but then again, my siblings and I all were light-browned haired kids, too.
as they got older their hair darkened.

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 know you were probably traumatized at the time... but...

Generally, I believe that people look best with their natural color hair. I cannot think of an exception. Now, that is not to say that some people don't still look nice when they change their hair color; but, IMHO, they never look better. Whenever I see a Black person who has dyed her hair blonde, in my mind, I begin to think that they are lower-classed. I don't know why, but it's just what I think, right or wrong--can't help it.

Exactly. Almost every black person I've seen with long blond straight hair looked ghetto. This includes Beyonce and especially Serena Williams (who also has the ghetto wardrobe to go along with the ghetto hair). Ya'll should have seen Serena's mom at Wimbledon a few years back. She had on a blond/orange, natural looking, afro wig. She looked like "Bozo the Clown." I was seriously embarrassed to be black that day.

Even though I absolutely LOVE dark hair and wouldn't go blonde for anyone, I actually think a lot of Black women look good with Blonde hair. I think blonde suits Eve very well as well as a lot of other black celebrities. You just have to pick the right shades for you and make sure your hair can withstand being blonde. If not, there's always weave.

Eve looks so cute with hers. I know everyone can't rock it, but certain skin tones can.

As some persons mentioned, it all depends on the person's complexion and choosing a suitable color. And yes there are some black women who should not even attempt the blond look.

A couple pics of me sport a blonde look
one is an instant weave and the other is a weave

It's looks nice! I always considered that brown though.

I guess is the lighting that made it look like that....I have another pic out in the sun where it shows how light it was (the second pic)

I think psychologically, and no one wants to come out and say it, is that
people are 1. being influenced by advertising "Blondes have more fun" more people born with blonde hair are white so the inference is that white girls have more fun and are more fun. This psychological hype affects white girls too, the ones who have brown hair. A lot of them constantly dye their hair blonde - obsessively. I am not saying everybody, but a lot of them. 2. I personally feel it says "what I am is not good enough" I have to make a change 360 degrees. I have to become something completely different from what I am, what I was born to look like. I have to try to look like someone else because nobody wants to see that terrible mess I was born looking like!!!
Why am I saying all of this - a lot of black people have self esteem problems
and still think what they possess is worthless and the things other people were born with is superior. I am not making a blanket statement. First of all you cannot include entertainers because sometimes there are external pressures - stylists, a promoter who says " You have to change your image"
This has to be true because when they look in the mirror, they do not look good so there has to be some strong influence to make them continue with this behavior!!!!!

@ Eve and Mary J Blige - they look terrible - bad weave and blonde do not go together.

 

[ChocalateDiva]

I depends on the hair color and the skin color. I have seen many black women with BEAUTIFUL heads of blond hair and/or weave.

ITA. I think it's a harsh contrast with Mary's skin and that a toned down color - would look so much nicer on her.

 

[Valerie]

Depends on the skin complexion, some woman can get away with blonde hair.

 

[cubanit]

Please dont fry me for this one.
Why is it that for someone nowhite to dye their hair they have to have identity issues. What if people did it because they like the color. Honestly there are a million things people do to try something differnt. Going through a blonde phase is one of them. Ive seen white women go red and sometimes it just isnt there color but guess what, it works for them. i dont think every time a black women tries blond the want to be white. I think thier trying something. We are really harsh on us sometimes. I personally dont feel I owe my african desented brothers and sisters any explaination for me trying anything.
Blonde however isnt for me
But really do other races hold the own under a microscope about every little change the make.
Its okay girls go pink if you wanna im on your side

Blonde black women is not such a big deal to me. I mean, depends on the shade, like with anybody. But... Japanese women with blonde hair!? Blech! They can't really get it blonde, and it turns orange... my daughter is half Japanese, and her Japanese cousin bleached her hair blonde/orange and got BLUE contacts. OMG....WHY OH WHY!?!

maybe I am just jealous because I would kill for that perfectly straight black hair that they are destroying! hahaha! And fake contacts looks silly on anybody, sorry...

A lot of my international friends are like this also. I personally think their own culture and look is beautiful!! I consider my self BLESSED to have slightly slanted eyes LOOL! I don't think dying your hair is an identity crisis just because you're black, I think it's just a phase however some do dye for this reason. Some people can pull it off, especially if they have medium to fair skin, but I wouldn't be caught dead with it!! I'll take my shiny black hair over blond ANYDAY!

 

[Halimah]

Ok Ladies
I beg to differ it all depends on the skin tone of a blackwomen who has blonde hair no I dont think dark skin people look nice w/blonde hair but we cant say just all black women.Because there are alot of women who look nice w/blonde hair for instance Mary J,Beyonce and many more and also I have been a healthy blonde(27) for some yrs now and my hair is flowy,thick and healthy and Im a carmel brown skin women,so I agree that some women dont look nice w/blonde hair ecspecially unhealthy blonde hair but I dont agree that ALL BLACK women dont look nice w/blonde hair.

Here are some pics of black women who look beautiful w/blonde hair.

 

[Xavier]

I think we can wear just about any hair color and look good in it. I think the photo of eve is beautiful her weave looks soft and healthy. I love seeing nice blond afros

Soft I can understand, but healthy...

 

[BrooklynSouth]

Nah. I usually do not like the look but we have our own version of blonde..the sisters sporting those beautiful, silver/platinum locks..beautiful!!!!!

 

[soslychic]

OT: That is the best I've seen Serena Williams look ever! She looks really cute in that pic

 

[MadisonK]

IMO Eve looks better with blonde hair. I think it makes her look sexy and works well with her skin color.
