Introduction
Blonde hair is a characteristic formed by low levels of melanin in hair, which is a pigment responsible of darker shades of color. The degree of blondness depends on various factors but all kinds of blonde hair have a dominant yellow in them! “Flaxen” also called just “blond”, is a shade that is fair blond but not white! It has no shades of the darker colors i.e. brown, sandy or strawberry. Other types are; yellow, platinum, sandy, golden strawberry, dirty, bleached and ash blonds.
History
According to a recently conducted study, the evolution of this hair type dates back to eleven thousand years in an area known as Lithuania! Nowadays, this type of hair is naturally found most commonly in Europe than in other areas. A theory suggests that at the end of the ice age, food was so scarce that many men died hunting for mammoths and horses in Northern Europe. Now in a competition of survival, women with blonde hair and blue eyes got an advantage over other women in attracting men’s attention and thus, survived through sexual selection. That is how, through mating, generations and generations of blonds evolved! This theory also suggests that men find women with this hair type more attractive.
Features
Women can look extremely irresistible in untidy and messed up hair. In order to get this particular look, start by forming medium sized curls in your hair and secure them with some hair gel. This sort of hair style goes really well for dirty blonde hair with a mix of many darker tones and a darker undertone. Another very romantic hairdo would be to just simply crimp one section of your hair and transform the rest of your hair into soft curls. This style would look great on lighter hair, for example yellow, honey, golden or the flaxen blond type. If your hair type is straight and long, it might make things a bit boring! You can jazz it up by cutting it into the famous shaggy haircut. It will not only minimize the limp effect, but also add great volume to your hair! For the shags, all you have got to do is start cutting at the sides of your hair, until you reach the longest strand in the middle of the hair! If you are one of those busy girls who hardly have time in the morning to dress their hair up well, there is a perfectly simple and less time consuming style for you; before you go to work, blow dry your hair and make a tight high bun. By the time you loosen up your locks, they would already have taken the shape of perfectly seductive waves! If you want the sassy country girl look, you can go for the medium sized curls. Set your hair in tight finger curls that go up to the scalp, to spice it up a bit you can secure two lose ends at the back of your head with a cute pin or band.
