While Rapunzel was blonde in the fairytale, she does not need to be on OUaT. Alexandra Metz is a beautiful young actress, and should be allowed to keep her black hair. Unlike Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.... the Rupunzel tale (while well-known) does not have the same level of iconography. Sure, there is Disney's Tangled, but that is a very recent film.
