What is considered blond in your country and how common is it (undyed only) ?

r/

In france, you are considered blond if as a child you had blond hair and as an adult you still have blond highlight under the sun, even if your hair look light brown or dark grey (?). In brittany, i would say like 15-20% have hair like that.

    You are considered blond when your hair is yellow or fair. I’d say it is pretty common, about a third of Hungarians are blond.

    What is interesting in Hungarian blonds is that they don’t have the characteristic Slavic blond facial features that go with blond hair among Slovaks, Czechs, or Ukrainians for example (round face, big eyes etc), but instead, they look like Western European, British, or Scandinavian blond people, probably because of the large degree of Western European immigration to Medieval Hungary. (All kinds of Germans, mainly Swabians and Saxons, weavers from Flanders etc).

    J. K. Rowling for example looks like a typical blonde Hungarian woman.

    🇷🇴 Romania: same as in France, you are considered blond if your hair has blond reflexes. No idea what percent of the population is blond, but I will have a guess about 20-30%
    🇩🇪 Germany (because I live here and know some local knowledge): you are blond if you have light blond or dark blond hair. Light brown is light brown even with blond reflexes. There are many blond people in Germany, I do not have an official number, but as a guess probably more than 50% (or at least here in Bavaria most of my coworkers seem to be blond)
