peroxide blonde

Chemically lightened hair

A peroxide blonde is a person, typically a woman, whose hair has been bleached with hydrogen peroxide or similar chemicals to achieve a blonde color.

The term often carries a dismissive or mildly derogatory tone, implying artificiality or a certain flashy type: She was a peroxide blonde with big earrings and a loud laugh.

Sometimes shortened to just peroxide: She's a peroxide.
