"I found a gray hair...in my hair...down there." -Samantha Jones, Sex and the City

It has plagued women for centuries. You start to go gray on top? No big deal. If it bothers you, you dye it. But you start to go gray down below? Where do you turn? What do you do? Who can you possibly risk telling?

Also, many blondes do a little cheating up top, but what, are you going to take your hairstylist aside and ask him if he does any under-the-table treatments? Marilyn Monroe knew your pain. The curtains gotta match the carpet.

Alright, alright so at home hair color isn't the best way to go we admit. However, with the dollar floundering around like a fish out of water, $200+ salon trips just ain't happenin. So we've had to resort to that $10 box with high hopes that one day, just maybe one day, we'll get that at home color right.

Used to be, that if you wanted to look really hot -- at least in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition kinda way -- you needed blond hair. It makes sense. After all, some (admittedly dubious) studies have suggested that blonds look younger, and men around the world have been lusting after fair-haired bombshells for decades.

But it seems times are changing. With news that (fake) blonds are more likely to develop lymphoma, and billionaires are overwhelmingly more interested in marrying brunettes, there's plenty of reason to doubt the dye job you might have considered a few years ago.

Plus, it's all too easy for an attempt at creative hair coloring to look lame and/or incredibly tacky -- as even celebrities like Jessica Simpson can't keep from going some creepy-looking shade of orange.

So is it better to work with what you've got? Or is there still a part of you that can't resist letting a colorist go to town on your coiffure? In a new poll released today, the ladies at StyleList pursue this pressing question: Two-toned hair -- love it or hate it? Head on over to vote.

Maybe blonds have more fun. But when you're tanning on the yacht, drinking daiquiris, and getting pedicures from Marco -- the hot pool boy, who lives to satisfy your every need -- chances are you won't care. That's because, at least according to dating experts, you, the brunette, are far more likely to land a man who can lavish you with absurd sums of money than your blond counterpart.

Which brunettes scored billionaire hubbies?



In fact, 62% of billionaires have married (or are in long-term relationships with) brunettes, while only 22% chose more fair-haired companions. Women with black hair reeled in a measly 16% of the world's wealthiest bachelors, while redheads barely made the list.
