Blonde Ambition

Beyonce, Mary J, Lil Kim and countless black women of all skin tones and tax brackets have rocked blonde hair at some point in their lifetime, but who was one of the first to pioneer the look? That would be 50's "Queen of the Blues" singer Dinah Washington! The jazz/blues singer had many different styles of music and men (married 8 times take that J.Lo!) and loved to switch her 'do up too. Washington struck gold when she used a spray formula to color her black hair a dark blonde color, and the look was a striking change to the way she usually styled her bouffants, fans loved it and she paved the way for black women and our faves to rock honey blonde to platinum blonde with confidence!
