The survey also indicates that 62 percent of those polled said they believe brunettes appear more professional than blondes in the workplace. "The current economic climate is obviously making women take more care with their appearance at work, even down to their hair color," Superdrug official Dan Hadley told The Daily Mail. "The study shows brunettes do seem to be taken more seriously in the work place which is causing a rise in fair-headed women darkening their locks." "It's incredible how changing your hair color can alter people's perception of you as well as making you feel more confident too," he said. Advertisement
