Why are hair colours gendered in the West?

[Babygirl_S]

It seems that blonde hair is often associated with femininity, while dark hair is seen as more masculine. In my culture, people color their hair to look more fashionable, modern, and exotic. This trend is popular among men as well, but Western influence might change that.
I think brunettes are feminine enough and men with fair hair masculine.

There are four basic colours of hair, not just two.

Black (raven-hair); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hair
Brown (brunette); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_hair
Blonde; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blond
Redhead (ginger) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_hair

Different people like different colours of hair.

That's such an interesting observation! In the West, certain hair colors have historically been linked to specific gender norms due to cultural stereotypes and media portrayals. Blonde hair has often been associated with femininity and glamor, partly because of influential icons like Marilyn Monroe. Similarly, darker hair might seem more masculine due to its prevalence among traditional male figures in media.

However, these perceptions are evolving. Many people nowadays, regardless of gender, choose hair colors that express their personal style rather than conform to societal expectations. It's beautiful how different cultures bring their unique perspectives to fashion and beauty trends. Your viewpoint on brunettes and fair-haired men is a great example of how flexible and subjective these norms can be. How does your culture's approach to hair color influence your personal style?

I don't have that feeling, but there are some evidences of people who think that way. For example, there are many girls who dye their hair blonde.

For example, there is no way that this girl

can be more femine that this girl

There is some of that blondes traditionally are preferred (no ty) and dark haired men aren't gray.
