What kind of hair texture/color/etc is the most attractive to you?

[snakewitch]

I'm curious if people here like hair textures similar to their own or not.

I like anything from 1a to 2c, blonde/red/light brown, and medium to thick hair. My hair fits this definition although it's a loose, non-strict definition.

And what about ya'll? :D

[katsrevenge]

I'm so not the one to ask.. I'm in a LTR with a black guy who shaves his natural fro once a year.

It is absolutely nothing like mine. It's part of what I love about him.... playing with his hair, heh.

[caiti42]

I think we always want what we dont/can't have.

I like long fine blonde straight hair.
I HAVE mid length thicker wavier brunette hair.

This. There is no way I will ever have a fro of my own! And, I'd love one..

[KittyLost]

I get annoyed with my hair type when it's short but I actually love it. I would say it's my favourite because I can leave it and let it be wavy/curly but if I wanted to straighten it it would stay straight until I washed it, maybe develop a wave at the ends. So I have the best of both worlds.

As for colour I lean more towards brunnettes and I'm brunette naturally but I love seeing all the different shades of Brunnettes, reds and blondes on here, and unnatural colours. With colour I can admire what I don't have and resist the urge to try to achieve it and destroy my hair in the process :p

[Ligeia_13]

I absolutely adore naturally wavy hair. In a dark colour. Wow.

[beccababesx]

I love hip - tailbone, black or very dark brown, iii, shiny hair that's either 1a or 3a-4c. Beautiful. I have BSL, 1c, dark brown hair.

[Capybara]

It depends on the person :) I find all colours, textures, and lengths beautiful on different people :flower: Part of what I like - it's so varied!

[Silverdragn7385]

Hip - tailbone length, wavy dark brown or black hair that's full of volume. :3

[ravenreed]

I think every hair type has good things and bad things about it. It seems certain styles might work better or look better than others, depending. I can't think of any one type I dislike or prefer more than others.

[xoxophelia]

I don't think I have a favorite. I just like hair that looks "good"... So in my case I would just want my hair longer, faded dye and damage grown out so I'm no longer two toned, and possibly also less prone to frizz :)

I guess my favorite type is healthy hair.

[Cowgirl16]

I really like straight brown hair :D Of course I have wurly multi-colored hair :rolleyes: thats how it goes :D

[jojo]

I like all hair types if its healthy, but when I was at University a girl there had hip length, naturally black very curly hair it was very pretty and then she cut!

[Kherome]

I like RED. Like, really red, but natural not the "dye red" colors. With a wave or light curl.

[Firefly]

Like previous posters I don't have a favorite. I've seen so many gorgeous heads of hair here at LHC, from stick-straight to 'fro, in all shades from natural to technicolor!

[lapushka]

I wouldn't mind if my hair was wavier than it is now, preferably even curly! Always loved curly hair.

[Anje]

Honestly, I really like curls. About 3b and tighter!

[Regan]

My ideal hair is my own, to be honest. The strands are fine and generally pretty silky, the circumference of my ponytail is of average thickness, I have 2a-2b hair and it's a dark brown, with a natural auburn glow in the sun. I find that although my hair is a lot more picky about the things I use in it and can sometimes be fluffy and crunchy - when it's good, it's great.

[ravenreed]

Same. :cheese:

[Chetanlaiho]

Personally I would kill for medium to course hair, natural black and iii thickness, but long hair forums have me starting to appreciate all lengths colours and textures :)

[Qwackie]

Black or really light blonde, sleek and long, or red and short.
Don't really like brown hair that much, though.

[Ginny Mae]

Other than all the lovely natural heads of hair that I see here on LHC, I LOVE hair that's been dyed any kind of unusual or unnatural colour - probably because I've only ever dyed my hair once in my life! I think when it works it looks incredible (google "palty hair dye" to see some examples of the kind of awesome hair I'm talking about...it's a kind of Japanese dye and I love the girls on the front of the packages, they look so unique!) If I wasn't scared of damaging my hair and if I didn't work in a conservative office I'd love to have peach coloured hair.

And of course I have a soft spot for natural red hair since myself and my boyfriend are both red heads!

[PiroskaCicu]

I love wavy hair, about 2b or 2c that is blonde or very light brown.

I also love straight, thick black hair. I think it's gorgeous...

I love curly, red hair, too. :)

[Ribbon]

I have a neighbor who is from Madras, India and her hair is thick, wavy, black, and to her waist. It's absolutely gorgeous - one of the prettiest heads of hair I've seen. When I went to her son's wedding, many of the women had similar beautiful hair, and so I've decided its my favorite style.

Since I'm of Polish/Irish ancestry, I cannot even aspire to such hair, but overall, I'm happy with my own. It's a brown/blond that lightens a little in the summer naturally, and it's a little wavy. It's not too thin (but I'd love it a little thicker!).

I really like wavy hair - there's a girl at work who straightens hers stick straight every day and it drives me secretly nuts. If your hair is naturally straight, great, but to force it to be so? No thanks! I saw a magazine cover with Gwyneth Paltrow cooking recently and her hair was wavy and not straightened -- she looked way better, in my opinion, that way rather than her usual style.

Another girl at work has amazing hair - it's naturally really curly, but even when she straightens it, it looks perfect. I really should ask her what she does since it's always healthy looking.

[Amber_Maiden]

I'm jealous of the people with fine, long, straight hair... or even slightly wavy hair... I wish my hair could be that easy... the time I would save!!!!

[Hiriel]

Well, it depends on the person, and there are a million combinations that can look stunning, but personally I really like auburn with plenty of red in it, and 2b waves. I think I like it so much because in addition to looking very good in my eyes, it's close enough to the hair I do have that I can picture myself with that hair. And I'd love to have it! I have brown hair which is slightly wavy and very slightly red (depending on the light).

[snakewitch]

I love wavy hair, about 2b or 2c that is blonde or very light brown.

My hair loves you too.

And I did read all of these responses and it's interesting... I guess we can all say we like healthy hair, and I think that long would be a normal preference for people here. xD

[Valdeon]

My favorites are anything starting from fine dark blond to light blond silky wavy with a bit of a curl\pin straight hair, from 2 inches before waist to hip length, ii\iii OR dark red hair with a tint of copper straight hip length, iii and coarse!

Not so wild about browns or anything dark.

Mine is medium blond straight BSL, quite fine.

[Roseate]

I find it fun to look at hair that is quite different to mine; the 1's and the 3b+, 4's, all fun to see. I get to see the 2's every day in the mirror so it's not quite as interesting to me!

I find all hairtypes have their own beauty, though, and I rarely try to significantly change mine. And as far as color, I don't have a significant preference for one hair color over another in general.

[2peasinapod]

I have always admired long, straight, black, Asian hair. Looks like black silk to me. After that, I love long, thick, wavy, black hair (notice a theme here ;)).

I also really like my hair type, so I guess I'm lucky.

[luxepiggy]

I guess I'm one of the few people who likes my own hairtype, although I do prefer the true blue-black colour to my own soft black/dark brown (^(oo)^)

[rena]

I find that long, loose waves appeal to me alot. I don't really care much about color, but IMO, dark auburn is one of the prettiest.

[angelshair]

I like just about any hair colour/texture as long as it's healthy. Except maybe my own natural dark blonde :P Especially if it's really shiny. I mean, dark hair colours are really really beautiful and often looks shinier than blonde hair, but on the other hand, blonde hair looks really beautiful in braids or on its own. On one hand sleek, straight hair looks really shiny and well-kept, but on the other, wavy, curly wurly hair is just so much fun. So I really can't decide. I think, as long as it's healthy, every hair texture/colour is awesome. :D Guess I'm one of those annoying people who thinks everything is beautiful in its own right. :P

[flourish]

For hairstyles I prefer long, wavy/curly, well-maintained and shiny hair, which is what mine will hopefully look like. I also love straight Native American hair--my grandma had such beautiful, long thick straight black hair when she was younger, which I always wanted.

As for hair color---red. Natural, bright copper red, like Karen Gillan's hair. I would LOVE to have that hair color naturally.

[spidermom]

I like it long, very dark (but naturally so) and completely straight. Hair like that is SO shiny.

[ericthegreat]

Since being on LHC, I have come to love literally all hair types and colors. All hair types from 1a to 4c are beautiful, and I love people with their natural virgin color, to the proud and greys, the hennaheads, and also the dyed and highlighted heads as well. The key is someone who takes care of their hair well no matter what its color or texture, and you can definitely see the difference between well maintained hair and hair that is neglected/abused /damaged.

[kidari]

My favorite kind of hair is opposite of mine: I love 1A strawberry blonde hair that is waist length cut in a U shape with a very thick blunt hemline or 2A-2C BSL or longer one length or layers in any shade of auburn or red.

[QueenJoey]

I love thick, dark hair. While I think curls are adorable (when they're perfect ringlets), I just love that straight look. Like Asian hair. I also love a perfect, U-shaped hemline.

My hair is has overgrown layers and is super fine and fairly thin. It has thickened to almost medium in the past few years. It's also gone from pin straight to a bit wavy, depending on how it feels like behaving that day. My hair is also naturally honey blonde with highlights, but I dyed it a semi-permanent dark mahogany w/ red undertones over 2 months ago and it's still not completely gone .

[MandyBeth]

Like any healthy hair. Can't say I adore my color, but oh well. I am insanely jealous of DH's 4c texture and insane rate of growth as he goes from shaved head to hip length locs in 5 years.

[Emmental]

I love pin straight hair, but mostly because I wish I had it. I love all colors, though I'm partial to red and black.

[LunarAurora]

I love very shiny hair, no matter the color or hairtype, in fact !

[hyettf16]

Brown and curly. Otherwise don't talk to me. :)

[cloud29]

I like natural hair. Curls, straight, in between all fine, any color. As long as it looks neat on the person and they are embracing what they have/are.:)

[luthein]

I like to see my hair twins the most. It helps me realize it is possible to have gloriously long hair.

[twilight_faerie]

I like dark hair on a guy, and really don't like blond guys...but I ended up with a guy with dark blond hair, lol. He looks good with that color, though, and I think he'd look strange with dark hair. As for texture, it doesn't really matter to me.

[turtlelover]

I've always loved black, super thick, slightly wavy Indian hair. So pretty!!! :-)

[McFearless]

I love all hair colours and types. I wish, for myself, to have 2c black hair. My natural colour is black but my curls are very tight. I love the waves and curls of 2c, and the ability to also have sleek styles.

[insomniac-uk]

I have natural wavy dark brown / black hair I have always wanted red or white blond.

[CariadA]

In men, I am always attracted to dark brown or black hair, usually very thick. DH has 3a curly, black hair.

I love my natural color and texture, I just wish my own hair were thicker.
