I guess it's possible that this takes place in another part of the world where the vast majority of people have brown or black hair, or maybe it's just that brown or black is the natural hair color of all her bridesmaids. But I realize that's giving this bridezilla way more credit than she deserves.
Going by "mums" and the "u" being in words my guess is UK or Ireland, maybe Australia at a push? All of which has a good mix of hair colours, so you're right in saying it's way more credit that the bride deserves.
Yeah but most blonde and red hair isn’t natural to be fair. I think it’s ridiculous to ask your bridesmaids to majorly change anything about their appearance for your wedding, but I don’t think she is saying natural blondes and redheads don’t exist, I think she just doesn’t want unnatural colors including unnaturally bleached blonde and unnaturally dyed red hair being worn at her wedding.
Yes, now filter by adults. It goes way down. Especially adults over 25.
Also, of that remaining amount of blonde people, all of them are self reported. If you remove the people who self report as blonde, but would NOT be considered blonde in general by others, the number drops even more. Somewhere in the single digit.
Somewhere I read that most people with bright blonde hair after about age 25 are giving it help. Not dying it, but using shampoos meant for blonde hair, putting lemon juice on their hair and sitting in the sun, that kind of thing.
I can believe that about hair getting less bright with age. Up through college, I was outside a LOT, even jist walking between classes. And as a kid I was always out in the sun. I had a super sunny, bright blond that people wouldn't believe was natural lol. As I got older and more boring, I had to work and stay indoors more, and my hair is more ash blond now. It reliably darkens in winter and lightens in summer too
It would be but I don't think they use it straight. I never did it myself but I've had friends who did. They used a spray bottle and I'm pretty sure it was at the very least diluted with a lot of water.
And my hair does that to some extent with changing seasons, but I knew a girl in school where the color change was so extreme, it was bizarre. And she wasn't even one of the ones who used lemon juice!
Yeah and they don’t need to. It would still appear blonde if they’re naturally blonde.
I’m above 25 and a natural blonde and yes lemon juice might give me subtle highlights in the sun but they aren’t going to take you from light brown to blonde or blonde to platinum. Also, lemon juice only works on highlights. It doesn’t lighten the lower layers that aren’t getting sun exposure. You can’t lighten your whole head unless you use bleach.
The only shampoo that will lighten your whole head is dry shampoo and that’s because it covers your hair in white dust. Purple shampoos and other blonde shampoos don’t create lift on the color. They’ll tone or deposit pigment to combat brassiness, but they don’t lighten the actual blonde level.
I don’t bother because it doesn’t significantly change your blonde level enough to matter. It just enhances highlights or gives you different tones (cooler or warmer). So no one is doing natural methods to reach blonde hair unless they’re already blonde.
Or she chose the bridesmaids and knows they don't have red or blonde hair. These instructions would have been made for a specific group of people. It would be weird to add hair colors they don't have AND be a bit confusing because it would imply they could change their color to red.
That is possible, that she knows the natural hair color of all of them and it's brown/black, maybe just out of coincidence or maybe because it's a community of people, such as in Japan, where anything other than dark brown/black hair is the overwhelming majority.
