I was reading The Telegraph Uk & came across this article that states that men find long,wavy hair the sexiest! The example they gave was of a white woman named Kelly Brook,who is pictured above. Information about the type of men polled was not provided. And, of course, there were only two black women mentioned,Halle Berry & Rihanna.Here's an excerpt from the article:
"Karen Moore, of TRESemme Philips hair appliances, said: "Hair is such a defining part of a woman's appearance.
"Long hair is traditionally strongly linked to femininity which we're sure is the reason that almost half of men have singled out this long, thick, wavy hair as their number one sexiest style.
"Despite men choosing long, natural looking wavy hair as their top style, most women would have to create this style using styling tools as not many are naturally blessed with these lovely locks."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/3699551/Men-prefer-women-with-long-wavy-hair-such-as-Kelly-Brook.html
Here's the list of the sexiest hairstyles,according to the poll:
"Other styles to feature in the poll, of 3,000 men, was the bowl cut, recently worn by Katie Holmes, and the 1960s beehive, seen on actress and model Brigitte Bardot.
Sexiest hair styles:
1 – Long and wavy (Cheryl Cole)
2 – Long and straight (Jennifer Aniston)
3 – Classic bob (Kym Marsh)
4 – Mid-length straight (Gwyneth Paltrow)
5 – Pixie Crop (Agyness Deyn)
6 – Long bob (Chanelle)
7 – Bowl cut (Katie Holmes)
8 – Beehive (Brigitte Bardot)
9 – Mid-length waved/curled (Halle Berry)
Where are the African-American,Hispanic,Asian,etc... on this list? There is no mention of hair braids or anything? All of these women are Caucasian.The United Kingdom is very diverse & I know that men find more than just white women sexy. So, I thought I'd add to their list by posting a clip from this hair documentary called "My Nappy Roots"! Ethiopian woman were once considered to be the most beautiful in ancient times.Now,we are constantly being fed the image of European women as the standard of beauty.Frizzy or kinky hair are featured in commercials as being horrific & unmanageable. Straight hair is presented as the goal for all women to reach. What message does that send to young,black girls with kinky hair?
Unfortunately, most black men want women to be as unnatural as possible.At least when it comes to their hair. But, when it's the "right" texture, it's cool to wear your own hair.What I mean by the right texture is hair that is curly & soft. I know from personal experience that black folks go nuts over "good hair".For black women, hair is a really major issue. No matter how we style it,there is always someone who does not like it.
