Blondes do get noticed more.....(generally)! I have always been blonde, but got bored in my 20's and decided I wanted to be taken more "seriously"....I dyed my hair dark brown. Then a really awesome red. I had a jet black phase (when my hair was pretty long - oh man, getting black out SUCKS)...and you know, it was interesting. Going to clubs and the mall and even just walking down the street - if I was with a blonde friend, she ALWAYS got the first look. I would get the second and thirds, but it's true.....blondes def get noticed first. I didn't mind....I liked the dark hair/blue eyes look and I liked how pretty dark hair can be.......but.... I just got tired of the maintenance of coloring my hair, and went back to blonde. I did miss it.....I will probably always be a blonde, now.
