The Importance of Hair
Other than your physical fitness, your hair is the most important controllable aspect of your physical attractiveness. Most women know this. I am not a hair stylist, so others can give you much better advice than I about how to make your hair look its best.


However, it is worth underscoring just how critical good hair is to a woman's appearance. Rather than do this by compounding adjectives or superlatives, I want to recount the moment when I learned this for myself.

I had spent the night at my (now ex-) girlfriend's house and she was getting ready for work in the morning. She went into the bathroom to do whatever it is girls do to get ready. After a while, she came back into the room, looking gorgeous. I distinctly remember being turned on to the point that I wanted to throw her back into bed. Actually, I maybe may well have; I don't remember now. But what I do remember was the epiphany that accompanied the following exchange:

"Did you do your make-up differently this morning?" I asked.

"My make-up?"

"Yeah, your make-up. It looks hot as ****, but something looks different for some reason. It's a more natural look or something. I really like it."

"I'm not wearing any make-up."

"Wait... what?" I asked, confused. "But you look... wait, really? So what were you doing in the bathroom all this time?" I was scrutinizing her while saying all of this, and slowly became convinced that she really wasn't wearing any make-up.

"I was doing my hair." She answered. As soon as she said it I could see that it was her hair that was making her look so radiant. She'd washed it, straightened it, brushed it and pinned it half-up.

No one doubts how much makeup can improve your look. Hair matters more: don't underestimate the importance of grooming.
 
Very true. When I'm wearing a bun nobody takes a second look. When my hair is straightened.....i could have on no makeup and dirty sweatpants with a shirt that does not match.....but i have to beat men off with a stick and deal with side glances from women all day

I can personally say that all the hair in the world would not matter until it properly groomed and healthy. As a natural i tried to groom my hair. I thought i was successful, and yes it was healthy. Since i have crossed over to the Kreamy Krack side i notice that esp my SO cannot help himself staring at me, sometimes i catch him off guard staring and smiling.

My natural hair did nothing for me, i never wore it out much but the few times i did NEVER stopped traffic. On the other hand my Relaxed hair gets me stares from all walks of life and YES syncerelyhis.....side glances from women. I appreciate my Natural hair and i like it but i :love: my Relaxed hair more; it enhances my facial features and gives me a more refined look by 100%.
 
I get compliments on my hair all of the time and I only wear it straight a few times a year. Therefore, straight hair doesn't equate groomed.
 
This is why that other thread on if long hair is important only to middle class and up (I'm paraphrasing) made me laugh. I know he didnt' mention long hair but really great hair (and really great long hair) has the power to move mountains :)

I didn't read it as only straight hair equates to groomed hair any more than pinning it half up is the only way to have groomed hair.

I just read it as she did her hair so that it wasn't bedhead hair but that it was coiffed.
 
Holla

The posters below the OP appear to be equating their straight hair with being well coiffed and groomed. I may being reading too much into their posts...
 
My hair is natural and whenever I wear my hair in an out state I stay getting stopped and complimented in the street by all walks of life. My fiance can't keep his hands out of it either :lachen:...

So yes people do notice hair, but it doesn't have to be straight to be noticed.:grin:

DoDo By out, what do you mean?
 
I dont like the fact that I get more attention from the Bf if my hair is straightened as opposed to natural. For me it's highly offensive.

I would be offended if my SO gave me more/less attention depending what my hair looked like period :perplexed

i was not offended, i have been on both sides of the coin so i know personally the ins and outs, the ups and downs of both sides and I prefer my hair straight for many reasons especially with regards to care and maintenance.
 
I do not agree .....I don't think hair matters more than what your face looks like

Looks don't matter. If that was the case, ugly chicks wouldn't be winning. You can wear make-up, fake lashes, Rihanna lipstick, etc, but you'll still be ugly. You can't do anything about it. Hair, on the other hand, can speak about your personality and how you carry yourself.

If your ugly and your hair is a mess, people are gonna say "she got the nerve to be ugly and have jacked up hair? She was wrong with that!" But when you ugly and your hair is laid, regardless to style, it will just be silence. You can't control your ugliness, but you can control your hairstyle.

You have no idea how many ugly-faced girls I've met that guys chased after because they had long hair, lol.

On the other hand, if you have a beautiful face, I don't think hair length matters as much.

I have to 2nd this (or maybe 3rd it, not sure if it was quoted up thread since I stopped reading after I read this)

I think it has more to do with well groomed hair that fits your face, style, and attitude. I received compliments on my BSL relaxed hair, but as a natural,(and my hair is not even long) I seem to get even more compliments!

DoDo what styles do you wear when you wear your hair "out"?
 
When my hair is bunned up, I don't get much attention, but if my hair is straightened or out in it's curly state I get all kinds of compliments. I don't wear much make up.

I think hair stands out more than the small details that make up covers up.

Damn tell me how you really feel lol......like you took ugly people 101......I get your point though......I didn't see the controllable part............but if a beautiful(facially) woman with a messy bun stood next to a ugly woman with laid 35in rhianna weave who would a guy be more attacted to?.....serious question....I mean we're not men (I'm assuming....but I don't judge lol) but what do you guys think?

It depends. Men are complex.
Some men look at hair.
Some look at skin color.
Some look at shape.
Some try to judge which one will be easier to control.
Some men are intimidated by beautiful women. Or judge them as stuck up.
Some men settle.
The list goes on...

What I mean is....
If your hair is nicer than some other ladies. It won't matter if the man has preferences for skin, or self esteem issues, etc...etc...
I've seen men crawl over some lovely, I'm talking drop down gorgeous dark skin ladies with healthy hair, just to get with some hard looking light or white skinned women (no offence, I have every race and color in my family and love them all. Notice I put "some").
I've also seen some men pass over beautiful intelligent women to pick the girl that looked "easy".

So to your question. It would depend on which kind of man would be looking at her. Their are men that can't stand Rihanna or her weaves but would still do her.
Then their are men who would look at the other women and see beauty and class. They see her hair and know she takes good care of herself.
Which type of man is looking will determine who is picked.

Sailor Saturn the lost scout
 
I wear my hair curly 80% of the time and usually pulled back in a bun or ponytail, but when it's straight I can see a HUGE difference in the way men respond to me. If I was single and looking for a man, I would wear my hair straight and down every chance I could outside of work.

DH prefers it straight, and I told him that if he was able to see what I deal with when I'm alone, he would prefer it curly. LOL

My advice to all single women is to grow your hair out and wear it straight as much as possible. Just being honest.
