blonds

Light-headed people, literally

Blonds is the plural of blond, referring to people with light-colored hair.

The spelling blonds typically refers to men or to mixed groups, while blondes usually refers specifically to women: The blonds in our family all turned darker by their twenties.

The distinction is borrowed from French grammatical gender but inconsistently observed in English.
