Translation of "Flaxen" in French

There stood a little boy, almost naked; the water trickled down from his long flaxen hair; he was shivering with cold, and had he been left much longer out in the street, he would certainly have perished in the storm.

Là se tenait un petit garçon presque nu ; l'eau dégoulinait de ses longs cheveux filasses ; il tremblait de froid et, si on l'avait laissé plus longtemps dans la rue, il aurait certainement péri dans la tempête.
