Most dutch are dark blond/light brown in adulthood just like most germanics in Scandinavia and germany(and quite a lot have medium/light blond, more than you would imagine). The difference is that scandinavia and netherlands have higher amount of lighter blondes and smaller amount of dark brown haired people than germany (unless its in upper northern germany, lets say lower saxony or east friesland, where its more similar to scandinvia or the netherlands than central/southern germany)
It also depends of what do you classify as being blonde, greek definition of blonde surely differs from what people in denmark considers blonde.
didnt you see those adult grown men from denmark in the pictures? they might not be 99% of blonde, but blonde shades predominate, and even a large amount have medium/light blonde hair alone. The women would be even blonder, due to longer hair effect /plus sun bleach.
And with encounter, did you personally visit those countries.. and if you did.. did you go to the little towns small-middle cities where 80/90%+ are natives? If not then your opinion has little value.
And the UK is definitely darker haired than Germany, in germany you have a huge base of people who have lighbrown/dark blond just like philip lahm or toni kroos, meanwhile in the UK the bulk of the population have more of a mousy hair color or dark brown depending on the area. In the UK blonde hair arrived just by migration.. in germany it was easier the blonde mutation ocuured in upper north germany, denmark and southern scandinavia so Its naturally it reached central/southern germany or even austria fairly easy.. the only natural geographic barieer were the alps.. which explains why below the alps people are considerably darker.
In your post you claim there is a big difference of British to Dutch and German. I know plenty of people of Dutch background here in Australia and they look very much like Anglo Saxon Australians. That the same with Australians of German Background.
Yet it is easier to tell most Italian Australians or most Greek Australians from a Anglo Saxon Australian.
[quote=jamesdean73;38028183]Frisians are present everywhere in the NEtherlands, The difference is mostly dutch over the rhine and those living under the rhine.. 70% of holland is above the rhine not just "northern" netherlands. Even in deep southern netherland in the small towns there are tons and tons of blonde people. So not only frisians but people from the netherlands are among the blondest in the world, probably the only country outside scandinavia where I have seen just as many naturally blonde people as scandinavia, and even more than some areas of North-western Norway and Iceland (who are the darkest scandinavians anyways).
On topic I think there arent 99% of "areas" with blond people but some areas in denmark definitely stand out for their blondeness. Province of Jutland is where all the "germanic" people originated, and it shows in the blondeness of the people.

Well, the map below says that the light yellow part has 80-99% blondes !! Is that really possible or the map is exaggerating? I think it would be really awesome if places that had 99% blonde people exist!! Has anyone been to central Scandinavia?
The reason why I'm asking is because I looooove blondes !
Yes its true, and according to that map this is one of the places in Norway where all the 99% blondes live
You live in Utah right? This state has the largest Danish ancestry population in United States. Are there lots of blondes there?
When I first moved here in 1990 it seemed that there were more then, but now it's much more diverse here. If I had to guess it's now 30-40% blonde. It's nowhere near as much as what I saw at the Roskilde festival in Denmark. As far as the United States go, Utah may be one of the best for that although it's a bit religious here.
