If ALL of your body hair is light, and you were blonde as child/teen you are a blonde. If you spend any time in the sun and your hair lightens to blonde you are a blonde. If your hair lightens without a lifter or double-processing, you are a blonde. If you have light eyes and were ever naturally blonde, you are a blonde.
This is a solid argument as most of us don’t realize how powerful the sun bleaches hair. My friend is half Japanese and half Swedish and her hair is a soft black. She spent a couple years in Africa volunteering and parts of her hair literally bleached to blonde and the rest became a warm rich medium brown.
Here in Latin America where majority of people are morenos (brown skinned) and have dark hair and eyes (both light and dark skinned) there's a lot of colorism and eurocentric beauty standards (where the "whiter" you are the better), people want to be blonde because of that, my hair is darker than Tiffany's but people still consider me blonde, DARK blonde, but still "blonde". But I'm a brunette! And now I'm sure about it, I dyed my hair blonde once and it looked awful and totally unnatural 😅
Love Tiffany’s videos and love this unexpected crossover episode. I also love how respectfully you speak of any woman’s features, never elevating one natural feature over another!
I'm a dirty blonde. People think that a dustier, ashier color, tends to be darker since it doesn't reflects the light the same, but I was suprise to learn that I have a level 7/medium blonde
I grew up in San Diego. I have 2 blonde friends who had long, natural, golden blonde hair. One went to college in Oregon and the other went to college in Boston and they both came back during spring break with an ashy, mousy, brown hair color. I told one friend, “I didn’t know you were a brunette”, and she said “Neither did I!” They both look SO much better with blonde hair. Brown hair ages them. I, as a natural brunette, can pull off some hilights but look horrible with all over blonde
I think having light arm hair can also be added to the list as being blonde.
Okay, thought about it for a minute. The dilemma comes in from a few waves of issues. The first is that if you’re born blonde & your hair darkens as you get older it creates a strange sort of faux problem to be “fixed” kind of similar to women getting wrinkles as time goes on & it happens slowly at first until one day when you see a picture or look in the mirror & suddenly feel the awareness of how much you’ve actually changed. The second part is personally I think I look better with highlights & added blonde color. I’m not supposed to say that nowadays, but it’s true. I do. A lot of natural blondes do. It’s part of why we highlight our hair- bc we’re trying to regain something we’ve lost but also we look better- more lively, more awake, more like ourselves. Think about how those early years shape our identities in deep ways- why should something tangible like hair color be any different?
I think people with light ashy brown hair usually look better with blonde hair. And if your hair is a deeper brown, chestnut type color, blonde hair usually looks worse. I think it has to do with how dark your eyebrows and eyelashes are more than your skin tone.
I noticed a lot of people with black hair like to dye their hair black so to me it makes sense that lots of blonde girls want to enhance their blonde.
Once again, Merriam breathes brand new insights into a old topic.
When it comes to the blonde argument, IMO if someone is born blonde, they are still blonde regardless if their hair darkens. It's very common for people with lighter hair to go darker. Red heads i find tend to lose the redness and turn more blonde generally but some do go darker. Technically Tiffany is still genetically blonde, she's just a dark blonde in my eyes. If Tiffany where to have children she can only technically pass down a blonde hair gene.
Yes. You are onto something! Was born golden blonde (not white blonde), hair became darker & my mother started highlighting & coloring my hair at 12/13…fast forward and it has been really hard to find my natural color as an adult. Obviously I can see my roots, but whenever someone colors my hair to “match” my roots it looks off- dark ash blonde, medium golden brown, etc. It is very tricky.
Absolutely right! I have a similar situation. I am naturally blonde with very light, almost white, cool, ash-colored hair. At the same time, my skin is very warm, with a red undertone. My hair color and skin tone look completely inharmonious with each other; so I started dyeing my hair when I was 13 years old. I didn’t choose or think about the color at all, my hand just reached out to the ginger shade of hair dye. Since then, I have tried on myself many shades of ginger and even red, and all the people around me always thought that I was naturally a redhead. Even my hairdresser, to whom I went to get my hair cut for almost 10 years, to whom I always told that I dyed my hair, was surprised every time that I said her I am blonde.
I'm a weird exception to the rule, when it comes to haircolor. Had beautiful wheat blonde hair with natural highlights as a kid, then darkened to a mousy brown during puberty and ended up dying my hair black, as an experiment. Have stuck with that for 25 years and nobody would guess, it's not my natural hair color. I can literally dye it blue black and it will still look harmonious.
I now finally understand why I am blonde and why I can handle well darker colours. Thank you for this analysis. Very helpful. Nobody before explained it as good as you 😊
I have very dark brown hair too and I really get passed off when people say my hair is black, so yeah Merriam I totally feel what you said in the video!
This is so validating to hear. Thank you!
I am a haidresser, I would say she is absolutely a natural dark blonde! A level 6-7.
I live in Vancouver, where we have rain and overcast weather for most of the year, and I had a hairdresser from England. He noticed the hair colour of people who live here would go darker over time. So yes, I agree the sunlight, even the daylight, affects our coloration much more than we might think.
