I thought you have fair hair. ?? I do have fair hair. Fair hair is blonde hair, isn't it?

Do you know the expression, "you are splitting hairs"?, because that is what you are doing! Blonde/fair are interchangeable. Of course nowadays, there are so many "suicide blondes" (that is, "died [sic] by their own hand"), that no one knows what true blonde hair looks like anymore!(Except maybe in Poland, Germany and Scandinavia!) "Blonde" refers to the particular color of the hair, while "fair" is an adjective of degree. For example: She has blonde hair like her mother does. and The child's hair is fairer than his mother's. These examples are not absolute, though. If someone is described as having "fair" hair, it means it is blonde.

So, do you use terms like dark blonde to be more specific in differentiating shades?

Yes, we say light blonde, dark blonde, dirty blonde (refers to color, not cleanliness!), strawberry blonde, bleach blonde, white-blonde (very light blonde hair), etc.
