curl up and dye...
I used to be a very convincing bottle blonde - courtesy of a very good hairdresser and naturally curly hair, and claimed to be a natural blonde.

Work and social friends had not seen my true mousey colours, and the lie persisted to the extent that when I dyed my hair dark brown, I had several female friends bemoan my neglection of "such a lovely natural colour".

I still haven't admitted the truth, and have a pathological fear of communal nudity as a consequence...

Airline Blonde eh?
There is an obvious way around the communal nudity thing.

most people
assume my hair is naturally black, to match my eyebrows, rather than the (not seen in 15 years) light brown with blonde streaks that makes me look like I've had a bad bleach job.

I'v got no problems with the matching collar and cuffs thing though, follow the advice given above, I do.

I dated a natural blonde...
...with light brown, err, cuffs. So you're probably safe in the showers.
