Does a woman’s hair dictate how men see her? Does it have an affect on her level of attractiveness?

[Justmisscurious]

I'm inquiring because a colleague I've known for about two months has consistently shown subtle signs of interest. Up until three days ago, I wore my hair down every day. Recently, I switched to a low bun with a side part. Since this change, he has noticeably increased his interactions with me at work—actively seeking me out, maintaining prolonged eye contact, playfully teasing, and making an effort to leave work together. While I have no intention of pursuing anything, I'm intrigued by how a simple hairstyle alteration can influence interpersonal dynamics. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

Any other takes? 😊

we are funny creatures :-). Perhaps the slight change enhanced one of your physical aspects that he enjoyed prior to the hairstyle makeover. A woman's neck is often a very attractive portion of body. In his mind, you may be showing more skin, which picqued his interest.

That’s an interesting perspective. I believe if anything, my eyes are enhanced by pulling my hair back.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

@Justmisscurious that would make sense. Were your facial features may be highlighted more without a frame of hair around your face. I've always enjoyed it when my wife has her hair pulled back in some sort of style. It reminds me of our wedding day.

[Justmisscurious]

Aww that’s so sweet! Hey, thanks for your input!

[BadApple69]

Yes for sure. Some hairstyles for me are a turn off while others are not. Now that doesn't change the person with the different hairstyles but does change her ability to catch my eye and my attention.

[Justmisscurious]

Hmmm that’s really interesting!

[BadApple69]

Just to clarify... The girl I am dating can do anything with her hair she would like... I will love her just the same.
But to catch my eye in the first place... The hair has to be a style I like.

[Justmisscurious]

Interesting! What style do you like? If you don’t mind me asking.

[BadApple69]

Of course I don’t mind. I think long hair is very sexy. Not a fan of short hair. It’s one of the things that attract me to Asian girls…. Long straight black hair.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not only attracted to Asian girls but they often catch my eye when I see them.

[Justmisscurious]

Nice! Very thought provoking. Thank you for sharing!

[BadApple69]

You are very welcome. If you don't mind me asking a question... Out of curiosity... What's your hairstyle like?

[Justmisscurious]

Usually I just wear my hair down and parted on the side. But lately I have been pulling it back into a tight low bun with a side part (kinda like women in the military). Ever since I changed my style like this my hair coworker has been sort of clingy and flirty towards me. My friend says that it makes me look more serious.

[BadApple69]

I could see that a military style tight bun would make you look tough…. Some guys like the hard ass, take no shit from anybody look! Maybe you found the proper hair style for this guy… won’t work on all guys. It would probably work on me… I do like that look too.

Yes it surely does
Hair , face and body.. all 3 of them play a role in a person's look.

Yes I think so. Because I used to like Brittany Spears but when she cut her hair all off, no way. The same Demi Lovato.

I'm not sure if length of hair has a lot to do with it, because everyone has different tastes, some guys like longer hair and some shorter
