This totally fake bleached blond crossed the room, and, of course, every guy's head turned....
I was just walking past a young guy and I said:
(Here is the bad part)
"I know, I know, but it just bleach."
He pretended not to understand me and I said, "I saw all the men's heads turn..."
and he said:, "I was checking out the TV."

My sister's hair is white-blonde, and was her whole life. The stuff I saw today was barbie-blonde. With black roots, of course.

Startling new psychological research challenges previous thinking that hair colour is merely about personal preference. Instead a massive consensus appears to exist on which hair colour is preferred, and there also appears to be such severe prejudice associated with the tint of your locks, this is possibly as harsh as racial discrimination.
For example, Nicolas Guéguen from the Université de Bretagne-Sud, in France, has just published a research paper entitled 'Hair Colour and Courtship: Blond Women Received More Courtship Solicitations and Redhead Men Received More Refusals', and it's published in the academic journal 'Psychological Studies'.
In the first study he conducted, female subjects, wearing blond, brown, black or red coloured wigs, were observed while sitting in a nightclub. In a second study, male collaborators wearing different coloured wigs asked women in a nightclub for a dance.
The intriguing results are that blond women were more frequently approached by men, whereas blond males did not receive more acceptances to their requests. However, in both conditions, red hair was associated with significantly less attractiveness.

Did the hair really play such an important role?
