Oh no, the old “blonde or brunette” debate is back again…

It’s one of the oldest dilemmas in the book – but now a new survey has revealed that while blondes might sometimes have more fun, they don’t have as much money to spend on it. The survey carried out by hair dye company Schwarzkopf & Henkel has revealed that on average, brunettes earn £4,250 more a year than blondes and they’re luckier in love. Eek. Women who have dyed their hair brown or black say they feel more desirable after going over to the dark side and, somewhat quashing all the talk about blondes being a little more, um, generous with the opposite sex, they’ve had more romantic partners too. “It's always assumed blondes have more fun, therefore have more success in their love lives and careers too,” says a spokeswoman from Schwarzkopf & Henkel. “Our research shows that blondes still do have more fun, but aren't taken as seriously as women with darker hair – both at work and play. Brunettes are climbing the career ladder quicker as well as having better luck in love which may explain why stars like Catherine Zeta- Jones, Kelly Brook, Kate Beckinsale and Eva Longoria are so successful. Hair colour can not only change your appearance but also change your mindset and people's perception of you too.” Interesting. So, what do you think – are you proud to be blonde, even if it is from a bottle, or are you delightedly dark-haired? Do you think people treat you differently depending on your hair colour? And, if these survey results are to be believed, what the hell does it say about the ever-changing Lily Allen?!
