Blond or blonde (see below), 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 sort of yellowish color. The color can be from the very pale blond (caused by a patchy, scarce distribution of pigment) to reddish "strawberry" blond colors or golden-brownish ("sandy") blond colors (the latter with more eumelanin). On the Fischer–Saller scale blond color ranges from A to J (blond brown).
The word "blond" is first attested in English in 1481 and derives from Old French blund, blont meaning "a colour midway between golden and light chestnut". It gradually eclipsed the native term "fair", of same meaning, from Old English fæġer, causing "fair" later to become a general term for "light complexioned". This earlier use of "fair" survives in the proper name Fairfax, from Old English fæġer-feahs meaning "blond hair".
The French (and thus also the English) word "blond" has two possible origins. Some linguists say it comes from Medieval Latin blundus, meaning "yellow", from Old Frankish blund which would relate it to Old English blonden-feax meaning "grey-haired", from blondan/blandan meaning "to mix" (Cf. blend). Also, Old English beblonden meant "dyed" as ancient Germanic warriors were noted for dying their hair. However, linguists who favor a Latin origin for the word say that Medieval Latin blundus was a vulgar pronunciation of Latin flavus, also meaning yellow. Most authorities, especially French, attest the Frankish origin. The word was reintroduced into English in the 17th century from French, and was for some time considered French; in French, "blonde" is a feminine adjective; it describes a woman with blond hair.

I've seen some dumb things in my life, but this takes the cake!
Is it matter of opinion
Or just a contridiction
But from where I come from
All the blondes have more fun
Well just watch them sisters
On a saturday night
Peroxide causin' all the fuss
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I took a rose in texas
She give me plenty of practise
But I couldn't touch the surface
Cause of a recent face lift
She had no idea of what love's about
'cept the one a'clock call
On the casting couch, oh yeah oh yeah
Searchin' round new york
It's on the cover of new vogue
I ain't supposed to be available
So completely untouchable
I got a limousine and body guard
And chaperone
But god knows what
I just need to vote, oh yeah yeah
You can keep your black and your redheads
You can keep your brunettes, too
I want a girl that's semi-tarzan
Give me a blonde that's 6 feet 2
Boy, and that ain't all
Dig this one
I had a crush on bardot
Fell in love with...
Read about it in the nationals
All the juicy little scandals
But I never saw 'em dancin'
At the county hall
With the short fat guys
Woman truely balled, oh no no no no
Dig this
You can keep your black and your redheads
You can keep your brunettes, too
Don't want a subservient woman
Give me a blonde that's 6 feet 2
Boy, and that's ain't all, oh yeah
