bottle blonde

Chemically lightened hair

A bottle blonde is a person, usually a woman, whose blonde hair comes from dye rather than nature—the bottle being hair color from a bottle.

The term carries a mildly dismissive tone, suggesting the blonde is artificial or fake: She's not a natural blonde—total bottle blonde.

Sometimes used self-deprecatingly.
