I was on my bike, and I saw the thief as I cycled past. It was quite dark, but I could tell he was old, at least 35, with blonde hair. He was wearing jeans and a hoodie.
I guess there is a mistake in the above context. Because blonde should be used for females.Am I right or not?
Answer
When talking specifically about hair color, "blonde" and "blond" are alternate spellings and can be used interchangeably. However, when referring to a person (with a particular hair color) you are correct and "blonde" is for females, while "blond" could be for either male or female.
blonde
(adjective) 1. (of a woman or girl) having fair hair and usually fair skin and light eyes.
(noun) 2. a woman or girl having this coloration.(Example) Among famous actresses, Marilyn Monroe is probably the most well-known blonde.
