Actually red and blonde hair are very prominantly discussed in European poetic epics, depicted in art, feature themsekves in European Mythos (Repunzel) etc. they are racially European features and have impacted European culture in much the same way that Egyptians deoicted themselves in art and literature according to their own phenotypes
Phenotypes definitely play a part in substantiating culture. Large swathes of the human population can't digest dairy or grains, this example of phenotypes establishes what kind of diet millions of people consume. (And food is definitely a part of culture). That being said, i dont really care if a black or Asian woman dyes her hair blonde.
I have a feeling you guys want to limit my freedom of making decisions about myself and I don't like that idea. It's my decision if I dye my hair or do make up or pierce my body or do tattoos. If you don't like it, don't look at me. Simple
i don't think we're asking anyone to be a certain way. but most girls hide piercings and tattoos. maybe that's a work thing I don't know? the tattoos are always done in a place you can hide
I can't see that as a cultural appropiation. Most people who do that doesn't think that. Of course, it shouldn't be banned, it's a part of the comtemporary culture.
taking anyone's cultural identity can be seen that way if you weren't born into it. i suppose trading fashion hairstyles and looks aren't seen that way in a woman's world. but men do see it that way. sometimes it doesn't make a difference but to the other half it does.
beauty among women is a highly successful business. tell me different
I think the concept of cultural appropriation is ridiculous and blown out of proportion its a negative if someone does something and claims its original but apart from that shouldn't be a thing
Home > Fashion & Beauty > Questions > Is dying your hair to be a fake blonde cultural appropriation? shouldn't all hair dye, skin base and cosmetics be banned?

hair dyeing is one of many forms of expressing ourselves. I can't imagine why should it be banned?
you can't be appropriating a culture. and that's nordic. it's not like we can't tell, i'm just askin'
I can't see a link between hair color and culture
i'm using the biological term. it definitely fits the question.
I still don't understand. Pardon my English

@SuperPolite yes. we are talking phenotypes

@SuperPolite still can't see the link. What has culture to do with my decision what I will do with my body?
@SuperPolite shouldn't that make you think about that for a minute? if you can't see my point then you missed the question entirely

and so are a lot of other things until someone cries about it.
If someone cries about it, they have a psychological problem
