Blonde Hair Anyone?

[Butterfly08]

My highlights are a deep honey blonde, so I beg to differ with the topic of this post!!!

But I think that there is a right and wrong color for everyone, and some people look best with darker hair.

Love your highlights!...I'm tempted to do some.

Thanks jwhitley.

I had 3 different stylists high light me, plus I did my own years ago. I have had the best success with my Aveda stylist. She said that their dyes are more gentle, and it's true. All other brands (both pro and OTC) have caused my hair to break right off at the root. Even on top of that damage I got my touchups with Aveda color but a year later my hair is now healthy, w/o any major cutting.

I said yes. Unless, of course, you happen to be albino.

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!

My God! Talk about Murphy's law! even when I was little, I felt blonde hair was a white women thing because the light color blended in with their skin really well but when a black woman does....it just....clashes! doesn't matter who it is, I've seen enough to know its just not right. Plus it wouldn't come out right, I dyed a patch in the front of my head (Before LHCF and I was in my rebellion stage; It looked muuuuch better than it sounds lol) it was ginger blonde. Because my hair was so dark, it come out...exactly the way I expected it. Instead of lemons I got oranges.

Blond looks good on 95% of black women. And I have seen it on some darker skins(highlights), and it has looked better on them than on me.(And I'm caramel) But, I grew up never really admiring straight blonde hair. But, their are a few, IMO, that can get away with it!

EEEEEEK, I mean it DOESN"T look good on 95% of black women!

 

[la mosca]

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but there are black women with naturally blonde hair (and they don't look stupid, lol!) And of course, there are lots of different shades of blonde to suit many complexions.



But I get the point here; it often looks a hot mess.

I feel you Mosca, stand up for us dusty heads I always get strange looks when my hair starts to grow out, or if someone catches a glimpse of the baby hair or my arm hair even... blonde?! YEP

 

[cupcakes]

i think it only looks good if your really light skinned and its in a natural fro:

 

[RegaLady]

If your are born wit it, than it ALWAYS looks good!

 

[Rei]

lol, lets get real here ladies, if anybody is going to dye their hair blonde and they're dark skinned, they probably already don't give a damn what other people think this thread is pointless

 

[Ms.Nigeria]

i hate it too!!!!!!!!

My mom wears her like this. She is kind of light-skinned, and it is easier for her to turn her fully white hair blond (as opposed to a dark color). She gets a lot of compliments.

Okay! and that is the Truth LOL!!!!!!!

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.

So, do you got any pics of yourself?

 

[supagyrl0302]

Blonde is to each her own... the color is not offensive I think its more of a combination of complexion, shade of color and hair style. I've seen non-minority women look pretty jacked up when they rock it. Also I think for women of color combination coloring works better not just a whole head of bleach blonde--I dont think that works for anyone!

Personally I did an all over strawberry blonde that went over pretty well--I'm light brown with warm undertones so it complimented my complexion better than a redish tone would-so I was told. So sorry I don't have pics it was like 4 yrs ago.

 

[ebzonix]

i personally don't like it.

 

[Newtogrow]

I said no simply because some of us Nubian Princesses are born with blonde hair.

It's the ladies who have that ruthless, matted, tangled, ridiculous blonde weaves that look stupid.

Some blonde weaves and wigs are very cute!

 

[BlondeByDesire]

Well I have blonde hair per se ... it's a highligher ... i get compliments all the time.

 

[Kurly K]

i think it depends on the complexion and their features. Some black women can get away with it and keep it looking nice. I'm actually considering going blonde when my hair is longer.

 

[RedVelvet310]

I'm very biased, I think black women look most beautiful when they hair is black, dark brown or sometimes brown . The darker hair colour compliments the rich tones that black women have, I feel that blondes washes you out.

 

[BostonMaria]

On black women? What about other races?! I've seen some of my Latina sisters here in Boston with bleached-almos white hair that looks chewed up LOL. I had to beg a PR friend to stop frying her hair.

And don't get me started with the blonde Asians I see in Chinatown LOL .

I've been guilty of dying too red. I call it Dominican red LOL I love it, but it doesn't love me back (breakage).

 

[Vinyl]

I think it depends on the length. I've seen some cute blonde hairstyles, but all were chin length or so.

I agree about blonde asians, though. I personally think dark hair looks very beautiful on them; blonde hair is just so unnatural-looking.

I see that too! Maybe I'm just biased, but on women of colour meaning brown skin ranging from light brown to dark brown skin look best withdark shiny hair... I never understood all the colours, but thats just me I prefer the classic.. 'clean' look.

 

[Flawless_JYM]

Overall I would say no to black women and blonde hair.

 

[CurlyMoo]

Depends on the shade of blonde with the skin tone/color. Bronze skin and golden brown or dark blonde hair can be gorgeous. Platnum blonde or yellow hair with dark brown skin is just silly. Now dark brown skin with brown/black hair with honey highlights can be lovely.

 

[Pheonixx]

LOL at REI

F'real. lol

I've done red.
I don't care for blonde cause I see it too much. Ugh...
It's old. E'rybody wants to be a blonde. I don't care if it fits your complexion. Every black woman in hollywood that dyes is blonde. It is the most overdone color in the world.
>>>gee--I wonder WHY <<<

In the meantime---I've already told myself, if I ever get close enough to Beyonce.....smh
....that damn lacefront is coming off!
All the WAY off! (Well---if her bodyguard don't take me down FIRST, that is...)
Beyonce.....and Tyra too. I'ma just be a blonde weave-snatchin fool.
Because Tyra's another 'Habitual Offender'.
AND---I'ma throw some paint on Tyra so she can wear something besides black, too.
Back when I watched Tyra. EveryTIME I watched Tyra, the ***** was in black. Black.
With that BLONDE hair...and those bangs! Oh, those bangs...
Those dayum BANGS!
>>shrugs<<
Ppl were calling her fat for some reason so I suppose she had/has a complex about it.
Poor girl.
Eh....
