Today is World Blonde Day.
Last reviewed: 01.07.2025
The brightest, most visible and most fair-headed part of humanity has finally found its own long-awaited and deserved holiday. Perhaps because the rights of blonde ladies, as they angrily claim, are undeservedly trampled literally all over the world, the bright date of May 31 has been declared World Blonde Day.
The heroines of many jokes, hostages of hydrogen peroxide and hairdressing, innocent victims of glamour, mistresses of solariums and silicone, favorites of real gentlemen and owners of hyper-feminine logic, all of them worthily celebrated this date for the first time in 2006, namely, they decided to give themselves what they deserved and become laureates of an exclusive award - "Diamond Hairpin" (this is the first special award for blondes).
The first celebration of World Blonde Day was held with real chic. The ceremony of awarding the "Diamond Hairpin" prize took place, dedicated to the celebration of talented, smart, successful, fashionable and infinitely feminine. In a word, the blondest blondes of our time.
According to scientists, a real blonde is a rare phenomenon, and according to their calculations, by 2202 blondes will have completely disappeared from the face of the Earth. In the last 50 years alone, the number of blondes has decreased from 49 to 14 percent of the total number of inhabitants of the planet. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, in order for a child to be born a blonde, both parents must have light hair. Secondly, in countries where dark hair predominates, the population is steadily growing, but Europeans - Germans, Scandinavians, Russians, who are carriers of the "blond gene" - are increasingly limited to one child. According to scientists, the last person with light hair will be born in Finland, where the largest number of light-haired people per capita live.
It's not hard to understand why this happens - a natural blonde is a rare phenomenon, and finding a partner, also a blonde, and for love... 1 chance in a million...
