catherinesvalois:Historical Fashion: Blonde Hair in the RenaissanceDuring the Renaissance, blonde hair was all the rage among upper class women. While some women had naturally blonde hair many did not, so in order to achieve the desired blonde color women would use treatments to dye their hair or they would spend hours in the sun so their hair would be naturally bleached. Another alternative for women who wanted to have beautiful blonde tresses would be to acquire hairpieces or extensions from lower-class ladies who were natural blondes. In this case lower-class women who were blonde would cut their long hair and sell these pieces to upper-class women. [x] -- source link
