golden hair

Sun-colored tresses

Golden hair is hair with a warm, lustrous yellow color reminiscent of gold.

The phrase appears frequently in fairy tales, poetry, and romantic descriptions: The princess was known for her golden hair.

It suggests beauty and youth, carrying more poetic weight than simply saying blond or blonde.
