A new study claims that having light hair really makes for more fun and offers other bonuses as well. The study conducted by scientists at Nottingham Trent University claims to prove that blondes have more confidence and better mood overall.

Of the study group of 200 women, 80 percent chose blonde as the hair color of choice. The least popular color was black.

The study also claims that blondes, whether natural or dyed generally felt better about themselves physically and were more likely to request pay increases. Interestingly, this study contradicts one done earlier this year which claimed that blondes were at the lower end of the pay spectrum.
