Want know how to spot a fake blond?

When in doubt, check the eyebrows. Natural blonds do not have super-black eyebrows. Another good example, besides this knock-off Sabrina, is Delinda from the show "Las Vegas." She too had super-black eyebrows, indicating she wasn't any more a real blond than Kiernan here.

Smarter women have their eyebrows lightened if they want to have a prayer of looking even remotely like a real blond, as well as having a professional dye their hair so it looks more natural. Too often I've seen crappy blond hair dye jobs involving making the person's hair too bright and uniform across their head, and the black roots look horrible when the real dark hair grows out.

Archie has red hair and dark eyebrows in the source material and I just had a look and so does Sabrina so I will reluctantly let her off the hook there.

It does look odd though I agree and the actress is not cute enough to play Sabrina.

Keep in mind that comic book artwork is not a good example to go by when spotting fake blonds and redheads. You can have a cartoon character look like anything. I'm talking about real people, particularly actors, who did a crappy dye job with their hair.

I get that you mean real people and I do think her hair looks weird in comparison to her eyebrows. I am just not sure if that is due to the role or because she thinks it looks good. The actor who plays Archie on Riverdale has a similar look red dyed hair with dark brows. It looks odd yet the comic character he plays has a similar appearance so I can't say that I can blame the stylist.

The sad part is, I know that there are stylists out there who are phenomenal with people's hair. They can make a woman look like a natural blond, including the eyebrows, and it looks so natural that most people would be fooled, until her roots started to show, or she confessed her "secret." I'm actually wondering if there's some kind of stupid trend going around where people are bringing back the Brook Shields 1990s look, complete with thick, dark eyebrows paired with light hair. It's one of many reasons I dislike fads, because they look stupid, and are popular for only ONE YEAR, and yet it's THAT YEAR that look gets captured forever on camera. Drives me up a wall about fashion.

There's another piece of hair on a woman's body that's a dead givaway of her natural hair color.

Yes, I know of the "Does the carpet match the drapes?" question *rolls eyes*

Quickest way to piss off a future daughter-in-law is to ask her that.

I’d rather check her pubes.

It's a shame, because blonde hair and dark eyebrows is the sexiest look, although dark eyebrows doesn't mean a person's hair is ultra-dark. They might have light brown hair.

I did my research:

https://www.questionocean.com/do-natural-blondes-have-dark-eyebrows/

I thought you were wrong.

"According to experts, natural blondes can have dark eyebrows due to genetics and the amount of melanin in their hair follicles. Melanin is the pigment that gives hair its color, and those with more melanin will have darker hair. While blonde hair is typically associated with lighter skin and less melanin, some blondes may have more melanin in their eyebrows, resulting in a darker color."

Sounds like there are only 2 ways to know then:

1) Ask her

2) Go downstairs for a closer look

I don’t think they’re trying pass off as natural blonds. They want the contrasts.
