Top answer

Usage note : The spelling blonde is still widely used for the noun that specifies a woman or girl with fair hair: The blonde with the baby in her arms is my anthropology professor . Some people object to this as an unnecessary distinction, preferring blond for all persons: My sister is thinking of becoming a blond for a while . As an adjective, the word is more usually spelled blond in reference to either *** ( an energetic blond girl; two blond sons ), although the form blonde is occasionally still used of a female: the blonde model and her escort .
