This seems like it could just be a coincidence. This article lacks enough evidence to really convince me. After feeling skeptical about the results from this reading, I took a look at another article:<a href=\"http:\/\/main.stylelist.com\/2010\/12\/29\/blondes-earn-more-than-brunettes-and-redheads-says-study\/\"> <em>Blondes Earn More Than Brunettes And Redheads, Says Study<\/em><\/a>. Studies show that blondes earn $35,650, brunettes earn $34,780, and redheads earn $34,380. Even though this article gives more information about the subject, I am still not completely convinced.
