Blondes have the lead in the following categories:

• Life of the party (48 vs. 9 per cent)
• Air-head (63 vs. 2 per cent)
• Gold-digger (51 vs. 5 per cent)

While brunettes have the advantage in these categories:

• Intelligent (58 vs. 3 per cent)
• Serious (64 vs. 4 per cent)
• Good sense of humor (32 vs. 15 per cent)

Being a brunette myself, I’m pretty happy to take credit for the parts of the survey that I think match my personality (smart, funny) and quick to discard the categories that don’t fit (pass on the one night stand, thankyouverymuch.)  But I wonder if changing your hair color can really change how people perceive you?  Are blondes with dark roots considered to be smarter?  Are brunettes with blonde roots considered to be more fun?

I didn’t like being blonde because it didn’t feel like me.  But I have shy brunette friends who blossomed into the life of the party once fortified with golden highlights.

The great thing about hair color is that you can change it in an afternoon. And the great thing about people is that we are all different and fabulous and interesting in our own ways — no matter what the color of our hair.
