Blonde
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A blonde person is someone with light coloured hair. When referring to a male, it is spelled blond without the -e. Some people are blonde because they have less pigment in their hair than dark haired people. To be blonde is usually to have blonde ancestors. Then it is genetic - blondes have genes that make them blond. Sometimes it is not genetic - this is called albinism. People can also use chemicals to make themselves blonde. Bleach is sometimes used to make the color of a persons hair lighter.
Most people are not blondes by their genes. Only some people with Caucasian ancestry are blondes by their genes, and also some Australian Aborigines have a different gene that makes them blonde. Natural blondes are most common around the Baltic Sea, especially the Nordic countries, Baltic countries and northwestern parts of Russia. There is also a larger number of blondes in Central Asia, especially in groups such as the Kalash.
