“The idea that blonde is best began as early as the eighteenth century when ethnologists, sociologists and English anthropologists such as Englishman Charles White began drawing up hierarchical gradations for mankind, starting with what were believed to be the lowliest - the negroes, bushmen and aborigines - to the yellow races and Slavs, until they reached the white race, thought to be the supreme species. Blonde colouring, supposedly derived from the sun, was believed to be a sign of greatness, together with blue eyes, which reflected the sky.”
