Does bleach blonde hair make you look older?

I am 22 and I often was mistaken for younger my entire life. My face looks youthful my body doesn't. But I think with such bright blonde I don't look as young. I told the guy at the bank I have a question about my account and then I added that I think I have a student account. He said "for a student account you need to be 24 or younger." I was thinking in my head "I'm 22, bitch!"

Has this ever happened to you? I do get a ton of compliments on my hair especially from men a lot older than myself which is odd.

Oh men and their attraction to long blonde hair, I think it will always be that way lol.

It really depends on the person, their skin tone, features, etc...Some people look younger with blonde hair, some look older, some look younger with black hair, some look older. On myself I think blonde hair makes me look more drawn out and drab and it makes me look older. Black hair and pinky purple hair really seem to bring out my features and makes me look younger than if I had blonde hair...which is weird since blonde is my natural color lol.

I say have your hair however you want it and what makes you feel beautiful + the best πŸ™‚

I think some people just have a young face, too.  Last time I bought alcohol, I got carded--and I'm going to be 30 in a couple of months.  When I was 18-20, people assumed I was 14-16, and now they think I'm in my early twenties.

It used to drive me up the wall, but that saying that you'll appreciate it one day when you're older is true, lol--the thought of people some day thinking I'm 30 when I'm actually 40 makes me pretty chuffed!

I'm the same as intemp, but it am 40 now and people mistake me for mid 20s... I can't see it, I feel I look every bit of my 40, almost 41 years recently! Yet occasionally, very occasionally, someone will mistake me for older than I am. It happens, one person isn't anything πŸ™‚

I wouldn't worry about it, maybe he was just telling you that because he tells everyone that, although he shouldn't have worded it that way.
