The Words " Blonde " & " Blond "

Up until today , myself , and im sure most other people always knew that there were two different spellings for the word most commonly known for describing one's lighter shade of colored hair. I cant speak for everyone else but I know at least I personally always thought that the correct spelling , at least for America where im from , was " Blonde ". I always kinda figured that the other version " Blond " was just the way other countries spelled it. Ya know like the slight differences in the way we all spell " Favorite " or " Color " , etc. Today I actually learned something and found out WHY there are two versions.

Definition of " Blonde " : Of a light color ; Fair.

Definition of " Blond " : Of a light color ; Of a flaxen , golden , light auburn or pale yellowish-brown color.

Both mean the same exact thing right ? Here's the kicker.

" Blonde " and " Blond " are two different spellings of the same word , with the same definition BUT . . . if you want to follow the traditional spelling convention and rule when using them referring to hair , use the word " Blonde " when referring to girls and women's hair. Use the word " Blond " when referring to boys and men's hair.

Im sorry. I just found that mind blowing. I never knew.
