When a woman sees her reflection in the mirror is there anything more important to her than the look of her hair? Yet many women fail to grasp that most men like to have something soft and bouncy to play with and caress. The majority of women, once they hit 40, have a tendency to wear their hair shorter because their hairdresser tells them, or they read in a magazine, that short hair makes them look younger. This is not necessarily true; a lot depends on the shape of your face and the texture and condition of your hair. Surely it makes sense, if you’re a woman looking for a man (not a woman) to love and adore you, to ask men, not women, what sort of hairstyle might suit you. If you prefer to take the easy option and rely on your hairdresser for advice, bear in mind that hairdressers are notorious for cutting hair short

Men, women, are you one of the lucky ones? Have you found a talented hairdresser whom you can trust? If so, hang on to him or her. You are safe. Not everyone has such luck.

My advice is that unless you have your ideal crimper, beware! This is too important an area in which to cede power unless you are certain that you are receiving unbiased, professional advice on the most suitable hairstyle for you.

Men, if your hairdresser doesn’t automatically attend to such details, ask them, when appropriate, to trim your eyebrows and any unsightly hairs protruding from your nose and ears while they have the scissors handy. Women generally don’t approve of flyaway eyebrows and half-a-hedge protruding from each nostril, but they are much too polite to tell you. If you are losing your hair, wear it bristly short If you have already lost it capitalize on the fact mat many women find a special sexiness in the shape of a man’s head. Losing your hair certainly doesn’t mean losing your sex appeal.
