red hair origin image
dreamer_ob
I know that each person is different, but I was wondering if there a stereotypical look to a female from Belgium. I know the Irish are stereotyped to have red hair and German's to have blonde hair while the most Asians are stereotyped to have brown eyes. I'm curious to know if there is a stereotype towards the belgian people, mainly because I have been told that I look Belgium. Thanks in advance.
Answer
When it comes to looks, there is no such thing as a stereotypical Belgian woman for the simple reason that there is no such thing as an ethnic Belgian people. At least not anymore. The original Belgians of which the country owns its name, were wiped out a long time ago during the era of the Roman Empire.
After the Romans went into decline, Germanic tribes from the North decided to move in and occupy the area, but they would certainly not be the last. As a matter of fact, the area that is now known as Belgium was once ruled by Spain, Austria, France, The Netherlands and Germany. And the South of England at one point could also be considered part of Flanders. And they all brought their own influences and ethnic traits with them.
And one mustn't forget the Vikings who probably also left a few of their genes behind when they payed their regular visits to the lowlands. To add to the mix, there is also a historically large Jewish community in Antwerp.
But even after Belgium gained its independents, the ethnic mix up didn't stop there. Large groups from Italy, Turkey and Morocco emigrated to Belgium to work in the mines. Those who have kept their traditions high from their original homelands can still be picked out as of different origin, but the women who have decided to integrate into Belgian society are now practicably indistinguishable from the rest of the Belgian population simply because it is so diverse.
As such, even the distinction between a Flemish and a Walloon person is based on language and where one happens to live.
And that Belgium still remains an important crossroad in Europe, is proven in Brussels, the capital of the EU where 40% of its population is made up of foreigners from all over Europe and further.
So to sum things up, tall, short, Scandinavian or Southern European look, you really can't identify a Belgian woman by her looks.

Answer
Call them, we don't work for the Hair Cuttery.
FYI: Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.
Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 22 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <â¨
Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11
The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.
Google: A 38-year old mother left in a coma after using hair dye. SHE DYED HER HAIR MANY TIMES BEFORE, USING THE SAME BRAND. The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.
Permanent black hair dye is linked to causing leukemia and lymphomas.
