In the 1930s, obviously dyed blonde hair was associated with celebrities- - such as Mae West--who displayed audacious sexuality. “Natural” blondes, however, represented innocent, small town, white “American” womanhood. In fact, brunette hair was by and large the mainstream beauty ideal for women in the United States until the mid-1950s. Dyed blonde hair replaced it in the late 1950s, after Marilyn Monroe erupted onto the cultural scene and the Clairol company improved artificial hair-dye and launched a major ad campaign for blonde hair (1956). ~ Vicki Vantoch, Ambassador of the Air, p. 97
I wonder how people would've viewed my hair color. I'm a natural golden blond - right in the middle between blonde and brunette.
