February 14, I had that hair color for almost 5 years. I was full on blonde. I was platinum blonde from roots to ends. You get the point — I was blonde. Like most Asians, I was born with black, straight hair. That may be another reason you hardly see a full head of blonde on Asian girls. I was treated differently with each. This happened a lot at social gatherings or random conversations I had with people outside of campus.

And There's More

Welcome to Reddit,
Christine Cheung wonders if there will be a day where she could go about her life without being asked if Lucas is her real son. She had her husband Aaron, who are both of Asian descent, welcomed their first child two years ago but were shocked to find that he had a rare medical condition - one that is believed to have only struck two families in Australia. But the Cheungs - who live in Riverview in Sydney's north shore - say they are approached by strangers at least three times a day, intrigued to learn about Lucas' biological history.
Blond or fair hair is a hair color characterized by low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin. The resultant visible hue depends on various factors, but always has some yellowish color. The color can be from the very pale blond caused by a patchy, scarce distribution of pigment to reddish "strawberry" blond or golden-brownish "sandy" blond colors the latter with more eumelanin. Because hair color tends to darken with age, natural blond hair is significantly less common in adulthood. Naturally-occurring blond hair is primarily found in populations of northern European descent and may have evolved to enable more efficient synthesis of vitamin D , due to northern Europe's lower levels of sunlight. Blond hair has also developed in other populations, although it is usually not as common, and can be found among natives of the Solomon Islands , Vanuatu , and Fiji , among the Berbers of North Africa, and among some Asians. In Western culture , blond hair has long been associated with female beauty. Aphrodite , the Greek goddess of love and beauty, was described as having blond hair.
