Yes Sonia is in her ancestry 50% European (White, mainly of Portuguese descent), 25% African (from Black Brazilians), 25% Native American/Amerindian (from the indigenous people of Brazil). She's such a good actress!

Oh well, don't jump to conclusions too fast! It also depends where you're at in American. In regions or areas where there is a high percentage of people with Northern European ancestry, blonde and to lesser extent red hair is very common. Where I am from, that is the case, blonde hair, blue eyes is common among those of European ancestry, nothing special about it. So it really depends. America is a very large country and diverse. Brown hair is also the most common color in Europe, too. I have been and lived there, so your point is?

My point is blond are overrepresented because 1) many people dye their hairs, 2) this colour is more remarkable so you may think blond are many more than they really are, 3) society values blond hairs (at least in the US and in northern Europe) and some people tell they're blond even if they are more light brown haired.

Natural brown hairs among the grown-ups are the most common in the US and in Europe for sure.

Not always, you know. There are plenty of people who were blonde as children, but darkened during adulthood, so they have the blonde gene. So you can't say that, but I believe that brown is much more common.

Some of the actresses who are actually blonde, but dye their hair red, brown or black, etc... You most likely didn't know this! You'll be surprised!

Katy Perry
Leighton Meester
Dita Von Teese
Christina Hendricks (is not a true ginger, but her hair was more close to strawberry blonde!)
Sofia Vergara
Angelina Jolie (is a fake brunette, true color is actually dark golden blonde)
Emma Stone (fake ginger)
Kristen Stewart
Scarlett Johansson
Amy Adams (she's beautiful as a ginger, but her true color is more of a dark blonde)
Rachel Nichols
Olivia Wilde
So I agree that blonde hair is usually not common in non-European populations, but in those of Northern, Central European populations it is common, in Southern Europe it is less common.
For example, these blonde children from the northern Netherlands, will as they reach adulthood darken in hair color to a more brown color. However you cannot say that blonde hair is rare, since they were blonde to begin with, they all carry the blonde gene.

Those actresses are naturally blonde as adults, but they have dyed their hair so many times. Usually as we grow older, hair darkens which is a natural phenomena, especially in males. As adults, quite a few light brown tones are included in the blonde category.

Now if you go, by what is known as "strictly blonde" hair (towhead) as in the case of this German soccer player;



Then, I would completely agree that blonde hair is rare.
However there are varieties of blonde hair, going from very light blonde to reddish or dark blonde and so fort

Black hair (dark brown) and brown eyes is a dime a dozen in Europe and not considered exotic at all!
