Blondes earn more, says study
The old adage that blondes have more fun does not tell the whole story, according to a new study, which found that they earn more money and marry richer men.
A study in the journal Economics Letters stated that women with fair hair earn around £1,600 more a year than their dark or red-haired counterparts.
Fans of natural hair care could be interested in the study, which could not find out exactly why blondes earn more money, but added that no other hair colour had similar results.
Dr David Johnston, who led the study, said: "Blonde women are often depicted as being more attractive than other women, but also less intelligent. But it seems the association between blondes and beauty dominates any perception that they have low intelligence."
Reese Witherspoon's celebrity hairstylist Paul Lebrecque told InStyle magazine recently that the secret to achieving good looking holiday hair is keeping conditioner in locks during a flight in order to stop the stale cabin air making it frizzy.
