It is true!
They do exist!

My close female friend has VERY dark brown eyes and her hair is naturally WHITE blonde (think gwen stefani!)

Its so weird because she always dyes her hair either brown or dark red. And as the colour 'grows out', instead of having dark roots like the rest of us, her roots are white.

She even showed me photos of her in 2nd grade - same deal. Dark brown eyes and long white blonde hair.

of course it's a genetic possibility! i use to have platinum blonde hair when i was younger and i have dark brown eyes, my hairs darkened over the years but it's still a dark blonde. i've only ever known one girl with blonde hair and brown eyes though so i think it is pretty rare.. lol it's really common amonngst people with eastern european ancestry!

Yes it is a possibility as long as your ancestors had blonde hair blue eyes. I went to school with an Asian with natural light brown and blond streaked hair, went to uni with a China national with natural medium blond (dishwater blond?) hair, and worked with another Asian with very fair porcelain skin that burns terribly under the sun, light brown eyes and light brown hair.

The first doesn't know her roots. Second lady from China has a Russian grandmother, and the third has absolutely no clue she is pure Chinese, married to a guy with jet black hair but her baby was born with blond hair. Strange how genes work!

My brother in law is has blond hair greeny eyes. Everyone I know from DH side of family going back 4 generations all have dark brown hair and hazel eyes. They joke he might have been a hospital mix up :D

Here's an interesting article if you can be bothered to read, would help if you have a background in biology. Otherwise read the Summary first before proceeding to skim through the article.

On the same token, I have dark brown hair and blue eyes, as does my father. Probably similarly as rare as blonde hair and brown eyes.

I was going to say the same thing - blonde/brown eyes is probably akin to brunette/blue eyes (which is me, but my dad is the blue eyed one and was a blonde growing up before it got darker... my sister has been a blonde/blue her whole life though).

I've never seen a blonde/brown IRL but it sounds pretty. I have a hard time believing Leighton is a true blonde - she looks so washed out. She is a stunning brunette though.

I knew a family growing up where all of the kids had blonde hair and dark brown eyes. The mom was a brown eyed brunette & the dad was a blue eyed blonde. The youngest's hair later turned brunette, but the older 2 still have blonde hair as adults. It's not like light streaky brown or dishwater blonde, either... it's definitely a true, golden blonde.

I have naturally blonde hair and dark brown eyes. So does my mom and sister actually. Now, my hair has gotten darker as I get older (so bascially if i didn't dye it it would be a light mousey brown almost ) but i still have some natural blonde highlights. Apparently it happened to the three of us!
