Women with fair hair are more aggressive and determined to get their own way than brunettes or redheads, according to a study by the University of California.
Researchers claim that blondes are more likely to display a “warlike” streak because they attract more attention than other women and are used to getting their own way – the so-called “princess effect”.
Even those who dye their hair blonde quickly take on these attributes, experts found.

However, according to the BBC, the author insists this link isn't as strong as women who rate themselves "pretty":

And in an earlier story, those with darker hair tend to earn more than those with lighter hair...

All of which goes to show, you can prove anything with statistics :)
Oh, and while we're on the subject of hair, it's not a good idea to smoke while dyeing it...

Aryan?
Half Danish, mormor and morfar. Lots of other stuff. I've got relatives all over.
By Nazi standards, I look fairly Aryan, although in Oklahoma people tend to recognise me as Cherokee, so go figure. By Nazi standards, they'd have to kill me. It's a love/hate relationship on their part. I'm not nearly so ambiguous.
