In a writing practice, the translation for 'she has long blond hair' is either 'elle a de longs cheveux blonds'

Joan C.A1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

In a writing practice, the translation for 'she has long blond hair' is either 'elle a de longs cheveux blonds'

or 'elle a les cheveux longs et blond'. I wonder if 2 of the following are correct also?

elle a des cheveux longs et blonds

elle a les longs cheveux blonds

This question relates to:French lesson "Using le, la, l', les before nouns when generalising (definite articles)"

Hi Joan,

I have just answered a couple of questions relating to the writing exercise which (I think)is the one you mention -

https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/968

The text actually says -

"..with her long blond hair "= "...avec ses longs cheveux blonds"

But if it was -

'She has long blond hair' , the only translation which sounds 'French' to me is -

'Elle a de longs cheveux blonds'

Hope this helps!
