    Default Hair Colour Question

    Please bear with me, I`m a total beginner in such matters, but wanted to ask a few questions.
    I was wondering if people with naturally blonde hair always also have blonde eyelashes and brows?
    Nowadays, of course, with hair dye, it`s hard to tell who is naturally blonde or not, yes? But I always thought (no idea where it comes from though, sorry) that true blondes also tended toward having blonde lashes and brows too.
    Is this wrong? Are there blondes who have naturally dark lashes and brows?
    I am blonde, when younger I was very pale gold, but as I get older my hair gets darker (and greyer! ) but I`ve always had very pale lashes and brows.
    Several of my cousins are the same, as are my two daughters.

    I don't know my eyebrows are the same as my hair (just doesn't grow as long). It's facial hair that's often much thicker, darker and mixed with different colors.

    I think the average eyebrows are 1-2 tones darker than hair. But it seems they can be much darker... or even lighter, but I guess that's much less common .

    Thanks
    The women I know with blonde hair but dark brows and lashes all dye their hair, which is one reason I wondered if there were naturally dark browed/lashed blondes.

    In sum, eyebrow color is an indicator, though not 100% reliable .

    Yup, mine are quite a bit lighter than my hair. But when I was younger, my hair was the same colour as my pale lashes and brows. I`d rather have them dark, given a choice though! I tend to look washed out without makeup.

    Celebrities who dye their hair to blonde that also dye their eyebrows and lashes to blonde. Almost people with naturally blonde have light color eyebrows and lashes.
    If the eyebrows and lashes are much darker than the light blonde, it looks a bit weird.

    My brows are darker than my hair but my bothers are lighter than his hair. Different for most.

    I took a picture of this little kid in my school:
    (I'm not a stalker, I just had to take pictures of students for Thanksgiving, hah)


    His eyebroows are much darker than his hair. And yes, it's natural.

    Eyebrows are usually 1-2 tones darker than the hair, but sometimes they can be lighter or darker. It depends on the person.

    I'm naturally a medium blonde [although nobody has seen it that way since I was 18 and they never will again ], and my eyebrows are pretty light; kind of light brownish. I currently have my hair dyed black, though, so I use makeup to make my brows and lashes match.
