This just in: Blondes really do have more fun.
That is, if your idea of a good time is standing in front of a mirror and putting on makeup (woo hoo!).
A new survey conducted by Goody hair care revealed that blondes spend six more minutes per day than brunettes getting ready -- totaling 22 days of the year, compared to 19 for dark-haired gals, as reported by The Telegraph.
(22 days?!? What have I done with my life?)
According to the survey, blondes reportedly devote 72 minutes per day on their beauty regimen, while brunettes take 66 minutes.
For a night out, however, blondes spend and hour and 58 minutes putting their game faces on, versus a brunette's hour and 51 minutes, the paper reported.That daily beauty routine breaks down into a 16-minute shower; 14 minutes for hair; seven minutes on teeth (yep -- they're all there!); 11 minutes for makeup and outfit selection, respectively, and 12 minutes on tanning, tweezing and hair removal, plus 11 minutes per week focused on nail care, the source says.
While this news is sure to provide more fodder for "slow" blonde jokes, Goody representatives have their own reasoning behind the time gap.
"Traditionally, blondes have to work a little harder than brunettes to achieve the same standard of shine, as fair hair doesn't reflect light to the same extent," Rose-Marie Jarvis told The Telegraph.
"Interestingly, we found that often it's the time spent on getting ready that gives women a confidence boost -- which would explain why blondes are thought to have more fun.
That might just be true. The survey also found that blondes go out with pals three times a month (that's it?!?), while brunettes managed only two nights a month, the paper states..
Brunettes were also found to be more low-maintenance, beauty-wise, with eight out of 10 girls reportedly claiming in the survey that they'd be fine going out au naturel, sans makeup and done-up hair.
Guess that's why they call it blonde ambition?
What say you, brunettes? Do you buy that a (faux) blonde like Lindsay Lohan spends more time getting ready than you do? Leave a comment below.
Maybe this shade-shifting celeb should weigh in! She's been blonde and brunette -- in the same week!

My sister was considering laser resurfacing to get rid of her wrinkles and instead of going through that expense, I urged her to reconsider and try Beauty Lift ( http://cli.gs/BeautyLiftSP ) with me. I read that it contains the most potent, doctor grade wrinkle erasing serum that revitalizes the skin and reduces signs of aging I ordered two jars of Beauty Lift and sent one to her about 3 months ago. Recently we were together for her birthday and we both were impressed with the smooth look and softer texture of her skin. It was no accident, Beauty Lift is in a class by itself when it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

I have always been very afraid of aging, you know, becoming old and useless and unattractive. When I turned 50, I decided to do something about it. I've spent fortunes on face creams and anti-aging serums… but using GenFX is the first time I've tried turning back the clock from the inside out. It's also the last time I'll spend a fortune on face creams! Now everyone says I look 35!
