Entitled to directions before turning blonde (8)
I believe the answer is:
ennobled
'entitled' is the definition.
('ennoble' can be a synonym of 'entitle')
'directions before turning blonde' is the wordplay.
'directions' becomes 'en' (I've seen this in other clues).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'turning' is an anagram indicator.
'blonde' with letters rearranged gives 'nobled'.
'en'+'nobled'='ENNOBLED'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ennobled that I've seen before include "Dignified" , "Got up to peer" , "Given peerage" , "Elevated to the peerage" , "Raised to the peerage in the UK" .)
