As a nation we should prefer blonde or red hair. Blonde or red hair is very soft (like silk) and it looks beautiful (naturally without requiring any dying ). May God guide us towards the right path and make our hearts love what is fair and what is good as opposed that which is harsh, hard, unruly and unmanageable.
