Blond hair is difficult to reproduce because it is assembled from the process colors in fairly equal proportions, with no single ink dominant. As long as the yellow, magenta and cyan inks remain in balance, blond hair will reproduce as a neutral.
But problems arise on press if dot gain in one ink causes that color to become dominant.
Since most presses gain more heavily in magenta and also cyan, blond hair often assumes a red or green cast. You can compensate for this in prepress if you communicate your concerns to the printer ahead of time.
