Just this. :mrgreen: But natural ones only. :wink:

Most real blonds have blue eyes, there seems to be a genetic link.

When I spot a blonde with dark eyes....I usually bet it's dyed.

There are indeed only very few exceptions. Because of the dyed ones exist the jokes about blondes. :wink:
But natural blond hair differs not only in color. It's finer, feels silky and a lot softer.

I think there was a propaganda campaign, to devalue the "Aryan" blue hair and blonde eye look, after the war.
I think it might be more a personal preference, these days, rather than social architects indoctrinating people.

Most natural blondes are blue-eyed. Many dark-haired people are, too, but probably not "most."

I was blond as a child, and I have blue eyes. My hair darkened into "sandy/chestnut" as I got older. I'm pretty gray now.

That's very common where I live.

I am of Belarusian descent on my mother's side.

Both my father and my brother have dark hair (and blue eyes). My father's side is Dutch, German, and English.

My lover (male) has natural blond hair and brown eyes.

There seems to be a concensus that men prefer blondes, that it is sexier, and many brunettes dye their hair blonde for this reason. As long as the woman feels good with herself I see no harm in that. It's fun to experiment and change your "look".

My wife, being Asian, has long, lustrous black hair that cascades off her shoulders and down her back; and she just knows how to get my attention with it!.

:twisted:

Blond(e) and ginger hair is recessive, as are blue and green eyes. Certain physical traits typically cluster together. For example, freckles are related to the genes responsible for ginger hair. Even if it does not physically manifest (i.e. you do not have ginger hair) if you have freckles then you are hosting the genes for ginger hair and somewhere down your bloodline (that is, if it doesn't end) this trait (red hair) will likely crop up.

Recessive traits typically cluster (blond(e) hair with blue eyes). Interestingly, if there is a combination of dominant and recessive (dark hair and blue / green eyes or blonde and brown eyes) then the colours are likely to change gradually and fade into similar hues. For example, I am a natural blonde with brown eyes. I inherited a dominant trait (my eye colour) and a recessive (my hair colour). As a child, my hair was a bright blonde and I had fairly dark reddish brown eyes. However, as I aged, my hair became darker- now it is a golden colour with reddish tones (a dark strawberry blonde) and my eyes are much lighter (a light faded brown, the colour is very similar to the brown elements of my hair).

As for someone with blue eyes and brown / black hair; their eyes are likely to become a darker blue or grey and their hair may become a lighter shade. The colours usually end up somewhat meeting halfway / complimenting each other / the contrast is decreased over time.

I inherited my mother's eye colour but her eyes appear darker than mine. She is a natural brunette with brown eyes. Although we share this same trait (brown eyes), the way it ended up presenting in me differed because of the particular combination of traits I have.

So blonde(s) with brown eyes can indeed exist naturally. Typically, a fairly reliable way to tell if hair is dyed is to check a person's eyebrows. Usually with natural blond(e)s, their eyebrows are also blond(e). Eyelashes can also be an indicator. The top of my eyelashes are blonde from the eyelid (fading to black) and the bottom sides are fully black. Of course, respect personal space. A natural brown eyed blond(e) in adolescence and adulthood is also much more likely to have a darker shade of blond(e) rather than a bright blonde or an almost white blonde.

Disclaimer: I'm not expert, but this is my understanding of the subject. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, the typical Asian hair can be very long yet remain super....smooth; and they use no ceratin products for that.

For years, I was attracted to primarily dark haired women. About six years ago, I fell madly in love with a blonde, and have preferred blondes ever since.

In my family, blue eyes and brown hair are the most typical set.
The other way around is rare but exists, my neighbours' son comes to my mind - though children here generally tend to have lighter hair than adults, he may grow out of it.

**cough** Photos...

Joke aside, that’s interestingly rare, I browsed like dozen of blonde pics on the internet to see how common it is; and it’s like 95% of blondes are blue eyes.

The blonde turning darker with age seems to be not uncommon too, dirty blondes were often bright blondes as toddlers; I think some people hair change in melanin levels; probably some babies are born with low melanin then it spikes with age later.
