The gene for blonde hair is recessive... which means that to get a blonde child both parents need to have the blonde gene. To put it simply somewhere in your family tree there must have been someone blonde (same for the other parent) for you to have n e chance of having a blonde kid.
But as there are soo many combinations of hair colour it's unlikely that the blonde one will be passed on: therefore no longer a possibilty for the kids to have blonde children themselves!
I hope that makes some sense to you.

However, blonde genes are difficult to get rid of since the phenotype of a person that is brunette doesnt describe that they may consist of a recessive blond gene. Look at sickle cell anemia, it has been around for a very long time as a recessive mutation, the blonde gene has too. If you brunette people mate and they both are carrying a blonde recessive gene, there is still 25% for the blonde baby. I still think its likely for blonde genes to be passed on since recessive genes are not expressed phenotypically. long lives the blondies!

wtf?!?
shy AND frigid? thats like two completely different things. call it shy, call it 'reserved' (the word i like best), swedes are quieter than loud ass Americans, but that doesnt make them cold, unloving, evil or something. most swedes are nice, you just have to actually talk to them, you cant sit around and accuse them of being frigid! haha|

Personally I don't like blonde hair, but there is no evidence to suggest it is becoming less common. Recessive traits don't become extinct unless there is some outside factor affecting the reproduction of of organisms that exhibit those traits. Since blondes are no less likely to reproduce than people with darker hair, this is clearly not the case.

Actually you can. Most Swedes will enjoy it and pretend there are not swedish themselves. There's nothing more swedish than complaining about swedishness. Look, Im doing it myself right now! haha
Where in Sweden are you going to stay and why?

Uppsala is fun. I guess you'll be studying at the university. The whole town is full of students and if you have a student ID you'll be able able to get into all of the "nations" there, where the booze is cheap and the girls are pretty. Thats what I heard, I've got a few friends who study there.
As it looks I'm going to Italy myself in January to study.

The same thing happened to my aunt: it's because you've got both recessive and dominant and during puberty, your fenotype (is this the word?) changes from recessive to dominant.
Could someone confirm what I said?
