I went blonde (a few times) and they do have more fun.

Going blonde wasn’t just a hair decision, it was an identity shift.
A bold move. A “let’s change things up and see what happens” kind of energy. And let me tell you: something happens.

It’s hard to explain unless you’ve done it, but there’s something about stepping into a new look (especially a blonde one) that feels like you’ve shaken off the old version of you, the one that played small, overthought everything, and needed permission to be bold. Suddenly, you’re walking into rooms with a little more confidence, making decisions a little faster, and flirting with the version of yourself you almost forgot existed.

I didn’t go blonde thinking it would change my life… but it kind of did.

Here’s why blondes do have more fun, especially when you’re in an era of rediscovery and becoming that girl again:

1. You stop taking yourself so seriously (in the best way)

Blonde energy is carefree energy. Not careless, carefree.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about choosing lightness. It’s permission to have fun again, flirt with life, and stop carrying the weight of every single decision.
When I went blonde, I stopped needing to have it all figured out. I just let myself enjoy the moment more. Say yes to spontaneous nights out. Laugh louder. Wear the outfit I felt like wearing, not the one I thought I “should” wear.

Sometimes when you’re figuring out who you are again, the best thing you can do is stop taking life so seriously and start playing a little more. Blonde-me understood that.

2. You channel main character energy without trying

Something about blonde hair makes people notice you, but more importantly, it makes you notice you.
It’s the reminder that you can reinvent yourself whenever you want.
And when you look in the mirror and see someone bold staring back at you, you feel bolder, too.

Suddenly, you’re not overthinking the text.
You’re walking with confidence.
You’re trying new things.
You’re becoming the version of you that you always imagined but never quite gave yourself the freedom to be.

Going blonde became a symbol of my “I’m done playing small” era.
And honestly? I’m still not over her.

3. You unlock a new level of IDGAF energy

You can’t go blonde without committing.
You’re literally bleaching away the old.
And that kind of commitment does something to your mindset, it shifts it.

Blonde-me didn’t over-apologize.
She didn’t obsess over what people thought.
She said “ew” and moved on when things didn’t feel right.
She posted the picture. She wore the red lipstick. She said no without explaining why.

In short, going blonde helped me tap into my I don’t care what you think, I’m doing me era.

And if you’re in the thick of rediscovery, healing, or just wanting to feel alive again… that kind of energy is magic.

Going blonde might just be hair dye to some people.
But to me? It was a line in the sand.
A bold “I’m back, and I’m better” moment.
A reminder that change can be fun. Reinvention can be healing. And sometimes, a new era starts at the salon.

So yes… blondes do have more fun.
Especially the ones finding themselves again.
