Guys Like THIS Hairstyle Best
It took a bunch of serious researchers from Florida State University to figure this out, so listen up. When it comes to women's hair, men like this the best: long, thick, and brown. Why? It's biological. Men are programmed to find a fertile mate, and lead researcher Dr. Kelley Kline thinks long, thick hair is a signal that a woman is strong, young, and healthy. This is the first research to look solely at hair length--and no other facial features--to measure female sex appeal.
The study: Fifty men and 76 women whose average age was 27 rated the attractiveness of women depicted in six different photographs. Three of the photos were of the same young, Caucasian woman who had the same facial expression, but her hair was altered by computer to short, medium, and long lengths. Short was really short--cut close to the head and above the ears. Medium length was just a bit below the ears. Long was at least eight inches below the shoulders.
The results: Both men and women found the long hair to be "overwhelmingly" more attractive than the short or medium-length hair. When women were asked to rate the length of men's hair, the vast majority preferred short or very short haircuts. Kline says men with long hair may be perceived by women as being less virile.
There was one other interesting finding: Men preferred brunettes over blondes. "At least in our study, gentlemen do not prefer blondes. They prefer brunettes," Kline told Reuters. "Its kind of an interesting finding, considering that in our society we concentrate on the blonde. It's so pervasive." The study findings were presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Society in Atlanta, Ga.
And all this time I thought men preferred blondes over any hair color

but a friend of mine mentioned that her hairdresser told her that us blonds could be a lost species in the next 20 years or so. Reason being, that there are so many more interracial children being born that the dominant brown hair gene takes over and squelches the blond genes. Not sure how much truth is to that, but it makes sense to me.
