I disagree on that. Since you've got mostly blond(e)s, you lack the comparative knowledge that would allow you to define what "blond" means. The result is that you apply "blond" only for what is a subset of the correct "blond". We, on the other hand, have all the palette of hair colours you can imagine, and as such are better at defining them.
