White brunette girls, we sometimes get a bad rap. I'm pale, Irish and we're a dime a dozen, commonplace, pretty unremarkable. We're not the most glamorous, the most exotic, and we're responsible for 98 per cent of Jolen Creme Bleach's sales.

Below are the 24 things every white brunette girl knows to be true. 

1. Nobody thinks you're a 'bombshell'.

2. And nobody thinks you're 'feisty'.

3. Instead, people think you're bookish. 

4. People think you're kooky.

5. Or funny.

6. Or mean.

7. Or a bitch. 

8. Or ladylike. 

9. Or ladylike, slightly mean, Scottish and widowed. Like this woman, the ultimate brunette, the caped Scottish Widow.

10.You have a specific set of beauty heroines. Starting with Audrey.

11. Calling at Winona.

12. Stopping off at Amelie-era Audrey Tautou.

13. By way of Penelope Cruz. 

14. Oh how you love Penelope Cruz. 

15. You have no time for 'fake brunettes' like Cameron Diaz.

Just revert to blonde, would you. 

16. If you are a real brunette, your collar matches your cuffs.

17. And you'll carry a good working tweezers with you at all times. 

18. There is Jolen on your bathroom shelf.

19. And a whole lot of Veet.

20. When blondes tell you they haven't shaved their legs 'in months', you laugh and laugh and laugh. 

21. Because you shaved your legs this morning.  

22. But, on the plus side, you don't have to spend every second Saturday in the hairdressers. Because roots just aren't an issue.  

23. And obviously OBVIOUSLY *obviously* you were staunchly #TeamNigella.

24. Because Nigella Lawson reminds white brunette girls everywhere that it is possible to be brunette and a bombshell and feisty all at once.
