What’s the difference between “blond” and “blonde”?

Answer 1

Remember foreign language classes? The masculine and feminine forms of words? Well, because the word came from French in the 17th century, that’s exactly what we’re dealing with: blonde is the feminine form of the noun, and blond is the masculine form.

So, adhering to that rule, a blonde is a woman with fair hair and a blond is a man with fair hair.

This seems dumb. It is. Here’s a way around it: Don’t call people their hair color. “Blond” is the more common spelling of the adjective—for example, “that person has blond hair”—and, especially in the United States, can be used to describe anyone’s hair, regardless of their gender.

Answer 2

'Blond' Versus 'Blonde'

The word originally came into English from Old French, where it has masculine and feminine forms. As an English noun, it kept those two forms; thus, a blond is a fair-haired male, and a blonde is a fair-haired female.

Answer 3

These words come from French. Now, you probably know that French, like most other languages, has masculine and feminine forms of words. So, typically, "blond" is used when a male has BLOND hair, and "blonde" is used when a female has BLONDE hair. Hopefully that helped!

Answer 4

The difference is: As an adjective blond is of a bleached or pale golden (light yellowish) color.

As a verb blond is to color or dye blond.

Answer 5

blond is when your hair is yellowish and blonde is the french way of saying this!

Answer 6

No, because there is an "e" at the end of "blonde" but not in "blond".
