having fair or light-colored hair
from Old French blont meaning yellow
Blond hair is BLONDE like the sun - light and bright!
Blond/blonde gendering (masculine/feminine endings) reflects French linguistic convention but also gendered aesthetics where blonde women were hypersexualized and blonde men were neutralized. The gendering persists despite being linguistically unnecessary.
Use 'blond' (gender-neutral) for all people regardless of gender. Reserve 'blonde' for French nouns or historical context where distinction is relevant, but avoid gender-specific hair descriptors in professional/formal settings.
