Yeah, I prefer very dark brown to black hair. Always have.

If men prefer blonde-headed women, so what? Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, other Eastern European nations, some Latin American countries had/ have a much greater obssession for blonde-headed women than Anglo-Saxon cultured countries!

I don't like blonde. I love black / dark brown hair.

sometimes depending on the day I like a brunette with blonde highlights, but that passes quickly.

Contrary to common belief, nazi Germany never had an obsession with blondism. The ideal was a blue-eyed blonde, yes, but dark-haired or brown-eyed people weren't frowned upon in any way. A dark person (like Göbbels or Hitler himself) were as "aryan" as the blue-eyed and blonde Norwegians. There are more urban legends about the "blonde obsession" of the nazis than they themselves put time into it.

Heritage and cultural heritage on the other hand was everything. A blonde Slav was still a Slav, and inferior to the "pure aryan brown-eyed Germanics". A quarter-Jew was a mischling regardless of his eye or hair color.

In any case, if the Axis would've won WWII the nazis would've had quite the dilemma with racial hierarchy, as most of their allies were inferior peoples; Italians, Romanians, possibly Spaniards (latin), Finns, Hungarians (undecided weirdos) and even Slavs (Bulgarians, Slovaks, Croats), while many of the conquered nations were Germanics (Norwegians, Danish, Dutch, Flemish) and why not British as well?

Nazi Germany had a belief that the "ideal Aryan" had to be a tall, slender, watery blue-eyed, golden blonde-haired with narrow facial features, fair-skinned Germanic-speaking person. They wanted all Germans to ultimately in the future be like that. They of course acknowledge that many Germans "were mixed" and not "pure" enough, this led to the horrible genocides. Slavs were considered "inferior" due to their more eastern/oriental geographic location within Europe, were seen as Caucasoids admixed with Mongoloid/East Asian strains were defined as so-called "untermensch". Nevertheless many blonde Slavic-speaking children were kidnapped by the Nazi regime and later to be incorporated in Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany didn't have intentions to invade they saw the British as "their equals", Hitler saw the English as fellow Germanics( Anglo-Saxons). He respected them, with achievements such as the British Empire, etc... Thus at first the Nazi did not anticipate war with Britain that idea only came later.

Charlize theron doesnt look like a natural blonde, maybe she was dark blonde on teenage, but nowadays she is more likely brown haired.

Must be too much british genes, which usually start blonde as children and mousy/darkbown as adult.
Charlize Theron has no British ancestry, she partially Dutch(like me), German and French. Her natural hair color is brown even as a teenager and her eye color is greenish. Her natural skin tone is not so pale shows some warm tones. Her first language is Afrikaans which is related to Dutch and Flemish, is actually closer to Flemish.
Scartlett Johansson is partly Scandinavian from Denmark and Eastern European(Belarus, Poland, Russia), she has brown hair and piercing blue eyes. Jennifer Aniston has Greek, Italian, Albanian, Scottish, English mixed Greek admixture. Before making statements, an advice I've always quoted to you is to make sure you know what you're talking about, revise it often, instead of putting up foolishness. All these three actresses are not any specifically British! However they are brunettes! If most British children are blonde/light-haired as children which becomes darker as they grow older, this happens in all Northern European populations. Your point is?

The Nazi regime wanted all Germans to look like with blonde hair and blue eyes. That was their foolishness, forgetting that genes play a greater role than what we see.The majority of Germans are brown-haired.

Carsten Ramelow looks like they would have called "ideal".

Actual classic Nordic types are more common in Britain and the Netherlands than Germany. In general western Britain and southern Germany are largely brunette. Netherlands has important brunette populations in the south, but also not uncommon elsewhere in the country.
