peroxide blondes

Chemically lightened locks

Peroxide blondes are women whose hair has been bleached blonde using hydrogen peroxide or similar chemicals.

The term often carries a mildly dismissive tone, suggesting artificiality or a certain brassy, obvious kind of blonde associated with cheap dye jobs: a bar full of peroxide blondes and men in gold chains.

The singular form is peroxide blonde.
