Authorities vary. It appears to be more common to use “blond” as the adjective, but some authorities still use “blonde” when referring to a woman. I have seen film reviews which will speak of a “blonde bombshell,”
for example. Whichever you choose, be consistent and I doubt if anyone will correct you.
