Usage notes

 * This word can vary according to gender, with “blond” being used of men and boys, and “blonde” of women and girls, following French usage. However, in modern writing, both spellings are in many cases used without taking gender into account. Compare, for example, the 2000 non-fiction book Angry Blonde and the 2001 film Legally Blonde, the titles of which refer to male and female blonds respectively.
 * Normally, only used to describe hair, wood and beer.
 * Referring to someone as “a blond” with no proceeding noun can sometimes be viewed as offensive or reductive. The adjective form carries no such risk, unless it is clearly being used with the implication of being stupid.

Synonyms

 * Traditional terms for light hair are fair(-haired), fairheaded, flaxen, tow-haired, yellow-haired, and towhead(ed).
