Be Who You Really Are
I had to laugh when I read this week that blondes are more aggressive than brunettes or redheads. The findings of a study on students in California found that “Fair-haired women, whether natural or out of a bottle, display a warlike streak when fighting battles to get their own way.”
As I have been a bottle blonde for about a year now, I was naturally rather intrigued by this potentially worrying suggestion and, for one moment of complete stupidity, I even wondered if it was true!
What a dipstick I am, and the only reasonable way to deal with this appalling lapse of judgement is to laugh out loud!
Apparently, researchers found that even women who dyed their hair blonde quickly took on the attributes of those who were naturally blonde. Let me tell you something; I went blonde overnight in January last year and, one full year further on, I am still as bad at confrontation as I ever was. Give me the choice of fighting a battle head on and running away and I will always leg it!
This study was based on a mere 156 students who were concentrated in one very small area of just one country out of the entire world only so before you go trying to live up to the results of this ’scientific’ research, consider first how old you are, the culture in which you live, what you have to do to put bread on the table, how you normally fight your battles and, most importantly, if you ever actually GET your own way!
My advice? Whatever your hair, skin or eye colour, be who you really, really are and you’ll be just fine!
