blonde
blond
I've already looked the two up, but just want more "Yes"from you guys.
We say there is a boy with straight blond hair, and here is a girl with straight blonde hair.
But not the other way around, right?
Blond for male only,
blonde for female only, huh?

Short answer:
"Blond" for men. "Blonde" for women.
And to be clear, both words ("blond" and "blonde") are pronounced the same.
Long answer:
This word comes from French. For whatever reason, this noun kept its gender (that is not true for all words that come from French). You will see "blond" used for both men and women.

Thanks, Cameron.
Very clear and helpful.

I am happy to be corrected but I would have said that used as an adjective in this way it never carries an e. She has straight blond hair. But with nouns it becomes gendered. He is a tall blond. She is a tall blonde.
