We Heart Tuesdays: Can short hair put guys off?

It’s hair month at Company HQ so in the office this week we’re discussing whether our hairstyles can have a negative effect on our love lives...



Ever since celebs like Emma Watson and Michelle Williams have gone for cropped hairstyles, women have been flocking to the hairdressers in order to get their hair cut shorter and shorter in a bid to keep up with the latest edgy style.

But has the resurgence in the pixie crop caused women to get more attention and praise from other fashionistas while making them less attractive to the male sex? We've already discussed the fact men don’t really understand high fashion and it seems this also relates to hair. A Tresemme poll revealed that 43% of men find the classic look of long, wavy locks the sexiest hair style on a woman while only 7% chose the pixie crop.

Women such as Cheryl Cole and Megan Fox are being named as the sexiest women on the planet and the latest Ask Men UK poll doesn’t have any women with short hair in the top ten. Emma Watson (who came in at 17) is the only short haired star feature in the entire top 20. So what does mean for the women who have been brave enough to chop it all off?

I have a friend who just decided to cut her hair short as a way to represent a new era in her life, admitting that she loved the freedom that came with chopping off her locks. As for male attention, she admits that it has calmed down a lot since she got the new 'do - but she still gets approached on nights out!

The majority of men may prefer longer hair but there are still loads of men who find women with shorter hairstyles appealing because it makes them seem more fun and confident. Celebs like Frankie Sandford and Rihanna became more attractive to men when they went for shorter styles.

So yes, cutting your hair may cause you to get less attention from men but it can probably help you attract a different type, the one who can appreciate your sense of style. Have you ever cut your hair short - and did it have an impact on the amount of attention you got from guys? Let us know your thoughts and experiences by commenting below....
