Blondes earn more than brunettes

London: Blonde women make more bucks than brunettes or redheads, reveals a new study.

They earn an average of 564 pounds more a year than women with dark hair and 823 pounds more than those with ginger tresses. And whether the colour is natural or from a bottle doesn’t make a difference. The average blonde earns 23,150 pounds a year, versus 22,586 pounds for brunettes and 22,327 pounds for redheads. Despite this, more than half of blondes claim their firm "does not take them seriously" - even though golden-haired Stella English, 31, won BBC1``s The Apprentice this month. Meanwhile, dark-haired women are the most likely to work late, according to the study of 3,000 women by chain Superdrug. "Over a lifetime, earning 600 pounds more a year can really add up, so blondes are having the last laugh," the Sun quoted Simon Comins of Toiletries as saying. ANI
