The natural blonde is already rare. And in an increasingly mixing population the gene, which is a recessive trait, will be dominated by the darker hair genes. This doesn't mean it will die out, but may become more of a rarity and pop up a few times every generation like albinoism does.

I read somewhere that natural blondes are slowly dying out because of inter-racial births. Blonde hair will never go away tho because we have hair dye!!
I got this from Google
When I read the article on BBC News entitled "Blondes to 'die out in 200 years'" I was a little surprised so I was interested in finding out all I could research on this claim made in the article. I was surprised to find almost nothing about this related topic. I searched on Google News and didn't find a darn thing on the extinction of natural blondes.

it's possible...if the trait becomes recessive and people stay away from blondes, then it might happen. if there are no children that get blonde hair then blonde hair will die out. but it is still going to be a trait and will keep poping up through generations...

As long as there is bleach, blond will never die out. Natural blond hair could die out eventually, but it would take a long time for that to occur.

Yes. It is a recessive trait. This means, for a person to have blonde hair, both parents must carry the trait AND pass that trait on to their offspring.
For brown hair, only one parent must have the trait and pass it on.
Recessive traits will be selected out if the population is fully integrated. Now, it is possible double-recessive Scandinavians will decide not to procreate with outsiders. This will allow the blonde trait to continue.

Its possible because people with blond hair their ancestors lived in cold places and with global warming it might die out because there is no need for it.

Not as long as there's dye.
I would guess it probably will eventually as it is a recessive gene, and with the world not longer isolated into regions, people are having babies of mixed race. I think the theory is that eventually we will all be pretty much a beige colour with dark hair.

Artificial or Real? There are enough with Germanic ancestry to keep a population of blondes vibrant, and enough chemicals to make others blondes as well.

No. It would require the elimiation of the genes for such to be eliminated from the world.
See this Urban legends link for twins born to biracial parents, one of which is blonde.

No..and if it, did I'm sure by that time science will have progressed so much that scientists will be able to alter or manipulate DNA to produce natural blonde hair.
