What is the difference between a blond and a blonde?

Question

Look above for the question.

Answer 1

I always took it to describe a male blond and a female blonde

Answer 2

Technically, the answer is that a blond is a male and a blonde is a female. But that is in french. In English, that distinction is not made. However, some hairdressers like that 'frenchify' their salons (another french word) so they refer to the fair hair as blonde and some advertisers do the same thing.

Answer 3

The words blond and blonde come from the French and follow somewhat the French pattern. Blond (without the e) is used to describe males, mixed gender, or uncertain gender. Blonde refers to women or female gender.

In modern use, blond is sometimes used for female as well as male, but blonde is preferred for female.

Answer 4

Well, anyone can be a blond. Only females can be blondes.
