The physical description of Alice isn't present in the story. Disney is one of the most famous of the film adaptations, of which portrayed her as having blonde hair. The original Alice - Alice Liddell, who Carroll knew personally, had dark hair.

There are currently 25 film adaptations of Alice in Wonderland, many of which depict her as having dark hair. So, really, she actually doesn't even have blonde hair.

About the book

Alice Liddell While on a rowing trip on the river Isis in Oxford with Alice, Lorina and Edith Liddle, the three young daughters of a colleaugue, the children asked Dodgson to "Tell us a story". Alice, aged ten, later begged him to write down the story he had invented and for Christmas 1864 he gave her a hand-printed copy of "Alice's Adventures Underground". The dedication read: "A Christmas Gift to a Dear Child, in Memory of a Summer Day".

In the original manuscript, which Dodgson illustrated himself, Alice was not the little blonde girl we know today. Instead, she looked like Alice Liddle, for whom he had created the book.

Dodgson later showed the tale to his family and friends, and they convinced him to publish it. The revised and expanded version, with illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, was published by Macmillan and Co. in London in 1865. It was now called: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
