 Blond used to be considered exotic because there weren't a bunch of blonds, same with red-heads.  Now almost everyone dyes their hair and there are blondes everywhere.  The few of us natural brunettes left are becoming exotic now.  Hopefully I can stay a brunette long enough to benefit before turning gray. 
 that was already over when i was 16 but i'm browny silver now... it's not salt and pepper cos it's so fine and when it's really clean, it's like silk 
 Blondes are really everywhere. Amazingly enough, it still works, to get mens' attention. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
 It was interesting.  I went to a ladies event with 30-50 women from my church and they did a scavenger hunt where you had to find people with different traits.  I was one of only 2 people there who had never dyed their hair.  That just blows my mind.  It is way too expensive and way to time consuming to dye hair and keep up with it.  It would be fun to be something else (maybe red-head) for a day, but I'd never actually dye my hair. 
 I've had streaks a couple of time, but my hair is pitch black, so they have to bleach the heck out of it, to get the streaks to show up, and then it's like straw. 
 My hair is so dark that it looks like my face is floating in space, in close-ups. 😂 
 I can't even be bothered to cut my hair, anymore. That's the only reason it's now shoulder-length. 
 I know women who can't even remember what their hair color is.
