What is more attractive to you: curly or straight hair?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I've seen some people saying that curly hair gets a lot of hatred, yet this hasn't been my experience at all. If anything it's the exact opposite. Curly-haired is considered the beauty standard and receive lots of compliments, as opposed to straight hair, which is considered plain, boring, thin, or lacking volume. in my opinion all types and textures of hair can look good, as long as it's healthy, shiny and well-maintained without split ends. Anyway, people are entitled to their own preferences, but putting someone else's features down is never ok and can be hurtful

Depends on the person's face and the quality of their hair. I know that bc I have thicker hair it looks best with its natural waves. Straight (long, down past my shoulder blades) looks very dramatic on me but I'll make the effort to wear it that way on special occasions.

Curly. But not too curly. I prefer bouncy curls or waves.

Fashionista Amy · Accepted Answer

Both curly and straight hair can be attractive, and it really depends on individual preference and style. Curly hair offers a lively and voluminous look, bringing a playful vibe. On the other hand, straight hair has a sleek and polished appearance, exuding elegance. Ultimately, it comes down to confidence and how one feels best expressing themselves. 😊✨

Curly vs. Straight Hair: Science Says Attraction Comes Down to This…

Fun fact: A Journal of Social Psychology study found:
🌀 Curly hair = perceived as more playful/approachable
✂️ Straight hair = often rated as "more polished" in first impressions

But here’s the twist—hair texture matters less than these 2 factors:

Health signals (shiny > style)
Confidence alignment (owning your look beats trends)
My shocker: I straightened my curls for years until a date said, "You seem freer with your natural texture."

Your turn: Do you have a hair preference… or is it all about how they wear it?
Ever changed your style because of someone’s comment?

I have straight hair myself as I did in high school. Seems a lot less trouble than having to curl it. If I had been naturally curly I probably would have gone with it as then it would be more trouble to straighten it.

molonski2 · Answer

I honestly don't think I have a preference personally..

Its all straight hair here.. Do you ever even see Curly? And I've watched my daughter straighten and straighten her hair for years , and kinda thought I wouldn't fancy running that piping hot thing though my hair however many times a week..

I think for the Thais straight works , maybe natural is best , I'm not sure.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

The hair only looks good, however, it looks, on sexy chicks. Meaning healthy and not fat chicks.

Don't be that stereotype of a woman that will say Lizzo is a 10 and then take offense when I say you're stunning-looking like Lizzo.

itsannalee · Answer

Depends on the feature.  My mom has curly hair like noodles, and her kids have super straight hair. I always hope i want to have kids with curly hairs.

I have very curly hair and always wanted it long and having some body, like AOC's hair. But I like the picture of the haircut you or someone else posted a lot.

I like straight but some curl is also nice. The girl in the pic is entirely safe from being kicked out of my bed whether her hair is like the left or right side.

I like them both. It depends on the face they are surrounding. You look awesome with your curly hair :)

Both. If you have naturally curly hair that is great. If you have naturally straight hair that is great. I wouldn't advise you to pay someone to change that. Just my opinion.

Apple1996 · Answer

My hair is naturally wavy and I'm fine with keeping it natural. In high-school I use to straighten it a lot tho but it was too much work

Surely · Answer

I like hair with some body to it. But if a woman’s hair is straight. That is just fine, also! I know that long hair is a lot of work. So I am fine with hair that is taken care of. Regardless of style.

Tarifa · Answer

Curly gives your hair a nice twist.

WhatTheHelvetica · Answer

I think most men are concerned about the color of the hair and less about whether it’s curly or not. Men know that women can straighten or curl their hair pretty easily if it’s long enough. So, either is fine!
