Question about Finland
How do typical Finish girls look like?
I'm a native Finnish but totally lost my roots and know a little about Finland. So I'd like to know if I seem like a Finnish person or not 😂

I think the "ideal" Finnish girl is someone with blonde hair and blue eyes (so called Elovena girl or Elovena-tyttö in Finnish) but that of course isn't the case most of the time. The name Elovena girl comes from a photo of a blonde farmer woman on the side of a biscuit package.
In real life people tend to have 'maantienharmaa' hair which is hard to translate but it's like dirty blonde. Directly translated maantienharmaa means something like the greyish colour of a road.

@yellowraincoat I could also mention that relatively few people with "maantieharmaa" hair keep their natural hair color, but instead dye it since it's not generally considered a pretty hair color.

Even if the Elovena girl might be described as 'ideal' that definitely is not the only thing. Many have dark hair some really curly some straight. Eye color changes between green blue and brown. And there is not really specific Finnish look that couldn't be found elsewhere. But if something special things mentioned in Finnish looks: some of Finns have distantly asian looking eyes (because of distant ancestors from Asia) and many dye their hair in reddish color which isn't that usual in many European countries.

Not all finnish people are blond or has blue eyes.

I think that all the people in the Nordic countries tend to have really soft face figures in comparison to the normal European ones.
