 I was hanging out with a few friends recently and we were talking about hair (of course we were) and someone mentioned that there wouldn't be any more blondes in a few hundred years. I'd never heard this before so I thought I'd research their comment.
The Claim: A study undertaken by the World Health Organization concluded that natural blondes are likely to be extinct within 200 years. Well, this is completely FALSE. The problem is that blonde hair is caused by a recessive gene. In order for a child to have blonde hair, it must have the gene on both sides of the family in the grandparents' generation. The researchers also believe that so-called bottle blondes may be to blame for the demise of their natural rivals. They suggest that dyed-blondes are more attractive to men who choose them as partners over true blondes. But Jonathan Rees, professor of dermatology at the University of Edinburgh said it was unlikely blondes would die out completely. "Genes don't die out unless there is a disadvantage of having that gene or by chance. They don't disappear," he told BBC News Online. "The only reason blondes would disappear is if having the gene was a disadvantage and I do not think that is the case. "The frequency of blondes may drop but they won't disappear." [source: BBC News] (Source: Science: HowStuffWorks) SNOPES.com also debunked this claim. And what about redheads? Are they going extinct?
