Dedication to blonde
It turns out that people really did think that blondes have more fun. Why else would people go so far to make their hair as blonde as possible? Some people were so dedicated to the color that they would regularly wash their locks in human liquids to try and naturally bleach the color out of their hair. Noblewoman Lucrezia Borgia was famous for her blonde locks.
It’s thought that she would spend days at a time grooming her hair. Some of Borgia’s routines included rinsing her hair with lemon juice and lye for hours at a time. She would then dry it in the sunlight to try and achieve that golden glow. The best bit? Borgia would cancel all of her plans so that she had time to work on her hair.
