What do Men Really Think About Your Hair?

Let's face it. When we take a long time fixing ourselves in front of the mirror, it's not just about making ourselves look good. It's also about making ourselves feel good--especially with the right attention from the opposite sex.

But what do the guys really feel about all our painstaking efforts (or sometimes lack of it) to fix our crowns of glory? A recent article from Cosmopolitan.com posted on Yahoo!'s Shine! network clues us in on what guys think about our hair:

WHAT MEN REALLY THINK ABOUT YOUR HAIR



From uncensored opinions of men to scientific evidence about what turns them on, here's what dudes are paying attention to. We asked 100 guys on the street about these hair trends— and were a little surprised by their answers.

Signature Styles
We asked, do you care if a girl styles her hair the same way every day? 71 percent said no. 29 percents said yes. Jennifer Aniston sticks to her signature style, and hey, it works!

Boho Braids
Are boho braids cute or cuckoo? 83 percent of our guys said cute. 17 percent said cuckoo.

Hair Up? Or Down?
Actually, it might be the action that matters just as much as the style! 43 percent of guys said they love watching a girl put up her hair, while 37 percent said they enjoy watching a girl let down her hair. 20 percent said both are equally hot and Leighton's covered either way!

Asymmetrical Haircuts
When we asked, what do you think of asymmetrical haircuts? 76 percent said they love them. 24 percent said they hate them. Dudes definitely go for Gwyneth's edgy, uneven ends.

Mega-Long Hair
Guys always say they like long hair best, but there has to be a cutoff point, right? When we polled our dudes, 55 percent of men found Lauren Conrad’s mid-length locks sexier than her mega-long mane.

And since fun and flirty hair accessories are back in fashion right now, I wonder what guys would think about feminine floral headbands like Leighton Meester's?


I don't know about you, but I think there's always something appealing about such a pretty, dainty style.

While we can't even begin to fathom the price tag to that lovely piece, here's something that looks close enough but is equally fab AND affordable!

PONDER, PONDER, PONDER...
What's your signature hair style? Do you stick to one style or like to change it up every now and then? What was the best compliment you've received about your hair?

Cheerios!

Gossip Baby?

I am not exactly a big fan of Gossip Girl, but I've always thought that Leighton Meester is so lovely! And I absolutely adore that her character in the show, Blair Waldorf, loves to wear those pretty headbands. I think they make her look even lovelier, don't you?



Well, for moms out there who want their little angels to channel this upper east side cutie, here's something from No Slippy Hair Clippy's Head Bands selection.

The headbands are made of lightweight materials like Swiss velvet, satin, organdy, lace, organic cotton and stretch grosgrain. So they stay atop your daughter's head without hurting her. Plus, with such adorable designs as those, do you really need any more convincing? :) Hair accessories should not be the same ol' boring ponytail! I say go ahead and prettify your baby!

Here's to lovely days ahead!
