If possible, please do a video on how earrings and other accessories have an effect on facial aesthetics! I noticed I look waaaay more attractive with hoop earrings on compared to studs or no earrings
your natural hair kept healthy is always best despite length and race. As a black woman I keep my hair in its natural coily texture, healthy and long or in braids. I've said goodbye to straight hair and trying to be what Im not long ago. I feel and look so much better! Thanks for acknowledging the history and social/professional issues that are a part of the black hair story.
As I've grown I've began to notice that I look wayyy better with my natural hair and black hairstyles than when I straighten my hair. So I've also just kept it that way In it's coily state or a blow out that's not so near to straight hair type.
@@NeroMai the reason why people perceive natural hair as “child-like” is because they’ve only ever seen children with their natural hair out. As someone who had never worn straight hair before, I couldnt understand why people saw it as childish at first but when i came to realize the reason i was truly mindblown. So many women have straight hair as teens and young adults so people are conditioned to think it’s childish because it’s what they see most in only a specific age demographic of black women and girls.
I’m surprised you guys haven’t done a deep dive into the ideal amount of muscle mass when it comes to being physically attractive and what is considered too much/too little. I see a lot of gym bros trying to cover this subject, but it would be good to see a channel like yours, just because it would be more objective and science based.
@@east1845 Referring to 360 waves, common hairstyle among black people. Think they were implying that it’s a catch all solution, that is universally flattering. Which is mostly true.
STFU! Why dont you challenge the systemic racism that discriminates against bw for wearing their hair natural instead of trying to lecture and police black women.
It is really frustrating that there are barely any studies on curly hair. So many people have curly hair and have no idea how to take care of it properly, and so end up brushing it out in an effort to make it look 'tidier', but just end up damaging it further and making it look unkempt and messy. If there was more readily available information about how to properly care for curly hair, more people who have it would be able to make it look tidy, defined, shiny and healthy. Of course prejudices will still exist, especially toward people of colour, but if there was more correct education then we may have less people thinking that it is untidy or messy, and more people being able to realise how attractive curly hair is, especially since it takes way more energy and time to groom properly.
YES YES YES. I have started leaving my baby hairs alone merely because I’ve come to the realization that straight haired people can rock their messy strays or “face framing strands” but for some reason we’re considered unkept if we let stray curls out. It’s not fair that I have to basically glue my most fragile hairs down to be considered kept but they can have texture and look chic.
True, probably because there's not enough people with curly hair in the hair care industry and also not a large part of the population so less profit motive
As a guy, curly hair on a girl mostly prevents me from being able to feel any sexual attraction even with the best body and face. the hair have to have the appearance of being clean, soft and fur-like. the best hair that they can have in my opinion is of a certain length range, looking healthy, natural looking color, full, soft and are wavy, along with proper styling.
@@sshreddderr9409 of course everyone can be attracted to whatever they're attracted to, and not finding curly hair attractive is fine. But to imply that curly hair looks dirty is pretty rude. Properly cared for and styled curly hair requires a LOT more attention than straight hair does, and is clean. Curly hair is purely a result of the form of the root of the hair, not the result of dirt or lack of care.
afro hair always gets referred to as "70s hair" or "fun & wild" so it's never surprising when your superior (teacher, boss etc) suddenly tells you that your hair isn't "appropriate" for the setting. i never did straighten my hair tho 😂👆🏾 but they're a bit more willing to let things slide now that my hair is less kinky and more curly. disappointing but that's the sad truth.
I got in a lot of trouble for my hair as a kid because it was wild and unruly too, even though I'm a brown person in a brown country and curly hair isn't at all rare here. oof
@Motown Gayes ain’t true racism. Put your hair up. In a bun. Especially in a food environment. Racism is burning ppl because of their skin color and using religion as a weapon
@Abigail Rose right!? i was first told that by one of my teachers and it was so embarrassing bc she said it in front of everyone. i had to get a friend to braid it up for me before i got detention :/
@@sugarcakezz i get the food environment (i've never worked in such a place btw) but why in any other setting? ppl with non afro hair don't have to, they're allowed to wear their hair as it naturally is. also racism doesn't have to be violent and upfront. institutional racism is what i'd describe my experiences as.
I got WAY MORE attention from men after cutting my hair to chin length! I cut it just because I thought the style was cute. I was so surprised when more men started approaching me, and now I get a lot of compliments in public - not just people saying “I like your hair” but also saying “you’re very beautiful” in a way I never experienced with longer hair. I think it’s because I have very soft facial features and a more delicate bone structure that get hidden by long hair. My friend who has more angular features looks incredible with voluminous, long hair, but not me. Basically, if I take the conventional advice that long hair is more attractive, I’m shooting myself in the foot because I have the sort of face that will blend in if I don’t make space for it. It also helps that my hair is thick/wavy, and I keep it looking healthy/styled. If you think your face might stand out more (in a good way) with short hair but are afraid to lose attractiveness points, I’d advise at least considering the risk because it may really pay off.
Also, though, short hair is a "hot girl" hair style at the moment, with loads of people over the past year or so doing the hot girl chin-length bob. If you're young-looking and can already be considered attractive, it'll be great as long as that style is on trend - and maybe after, depending on how it looks and meshes with your style :) .
People say my micro bangs look like shit lol and I see what they mean but I got a shorter more layered haircut and it frames my round, delicate face way better. My hair used to have too much volume at the bottom and too little at the top and it made my face look more bottom-heavy.
@@brooke9297 when the girl with long silky straight thick hair enters the room none of short haired girls can compete. I've seen it many times. Especially if the hair is shiny and super thick and covers all the girl's back.We had few girls in Uni with that insanely gorgeous hair like from advertisement of shampoo.Naturally beautiful hair. And trust me, nobody could compete. Especially if you have lean body,medium to tall height and you hair is covering your shoulders and back. Looks like you just came from fairy tale
Great, clean hair makes me feel so good about myself, I notice a drop in mood right around the time I need to wash my hair because it doesn't look good
That is honestly such an interesting observation..I’ve never quite paid attention to my mood around that time other than the fact that I can be a little uninterested in actually getting to the washing process lol. I’m definitely going to see if there’s any truth to this for me.
I'm pretty sure that looks are not a priority for most older women and they generally choose shorter hairstyles because they don't require a lot of maintenance.
@@Fr0zenPeanut No older woman aren't just going to give up and play dead . You are mistaken . Especially with celebrities like Madonna and older influences , a lot of older woman feel increased pressure to look youthful and fit for as long as possible . Short hairstyles also aren't necessarily easier to maintain than shoulder length hair that you can put up .
@@celestialcircledance I'm talking about average women, not celebrities and influencers. Also, I'm not a woman, but even I know from experience that shorter hair is easier to maintain.
@@Fr0zenPeanut Who do you think watches those older celebrities and influences for tips ? Average older woman and there called influencers for a reason . My hairs wavy and harder to style short than shoulder length but you probably have different type of hair than me which is fair enough . A lot of older woman die there hair in addition and get manicures and that takes a lot of maintenance .You can go on believing what you want but as a 50 years old woman speaking from personal experience we are not purely practical beings who have lost touch with our femininity and sensuality . You are very much mistaken !!
I feel like it has become a social norm. Shorter hair is seen as more conservative for older people, just like revealing clothing long hair worn loose is often seen as a sign of women wanting to be "sexy".And older women are often stripped from their sexuality in our society. Also thinning hair is harder to look good when it is long. Hair becomes more brittle when it gets grey and therefore harder to even grow out longer.
Nah. Rihanna had alot of ugly hairstyles that didn't suit her over the years but because she's a celebrity we are all conditioned to automatically love everything they do and hype them (like Slayyy queen) even when they look mediocre.
@@grethi8110 I'm not a hater. I love Rihanna but here I am only speaking about some of the hairstyles she had that didn't work for her. Just because we don't follow and praise a celebrity for everything they do like 12 year olds doesn't mean we are hating.
Straight hair is actually the rarest hair type. It is more common among Asians but most people (even Europeans) have wavy hair or curly hair. If straight hair was common we wouldn’t all have hair straighteners
I'd be SO interested in see your take on the Kibbe style system - I know women's fashion isn't the usual content, and y'all aren't focussed on that topic, but the systematic nature of it is something I'd love to see discussed, considering your strongly rational, analytic approach. A subscriber can dream!😂
Of interest: in colonial Louisiana, women of colour were required to wear headscarves, because their hair and the more elaborate styles they did were seen as threatening to the beauty of white women. This was present on plantations as well, where white women felt threatened by the hair of women who were enslaved. And so a huge process of *making* Afro hair seem inferior had to occur-it wasn’t automatic, or innate. It was also a trend in the 18th century for white upper class people to replicate Afro hair.
I live in lousiana, if you visit one of the museums in the french quarters, they into depth about the headscarf law and have portraits of women from that time
A girl I know has hair down to her waist/hips, it's naturally blonde and wavy and really stands out when she walks down the street, she's also attractive and models and always gets called a Barbie or a (Disney) princess
I used to have hair this long (my hair is brunette and straight), I got a lot of attention and people used to call me Repunzel. It was high maintenance but I enjoyed the aesthetic.
I had a friend like that in high school hair down to the butt and she looked just like Selena (the late Hispanic singer) and she was true bless the also have lashes almost to her brows and really full brows super thin she never were any makeup other than mascara and liner. She turned heads everywhere and got annoying cat calls everyday but the crazy part is she didn't think she was pretty so all our friends made up this silly nickname (big sexy lol) to remind her she was the ish lol sorry for the rant you commented just reminded of a good friend I miss dearly also I'm sure your friend is a bomb shell too lol
This is SO interesting because I did an experiment on my channel which showed how as a black woman, altering my hairstyle changed the race of men I attracted! Love this channel so much!!! Good stuff! 😁👏🏾
I’m amazed that hair thickness (specifically density and evenness along the bottom) was not further addressed here. Not blaming the creators of the video but rather the researchers. In my opinion it is just as important (if not more so) than length. It is more of an indicator of genes, health, and youth than length is honestly. And that’s across the board, regardless of hair type. Of course, length can add femininity and disguise or distract from masculinity, but I think most people would take a thick, curly bob over long, straight, low density hair with thinning and broken ends. Maybe one day there will be enough research to create a part 2 which further includes thickness and Afro hair!
As a white woman with naturally curly hair I will say, based on my own experience, that natural curly hair and curled hair with an iron gain two different responses. Natural curly hair is still considered "unprofessional" looking and seen as less attractive, regardless of race, while curled hair is seen as very attractive. My theory for this is curly hair can be more unruly, and it's state is subjected to by the elements, so throughout the day the way your hair looks can change leading to more frizz or expansion, while curled hair has a sleeker appearance and won't change the moment the environment changes and is less susceptible to frizzing. Curled hair also has more gloss to it since the hair is being essentially straightened and then curled by the heat of the iron, laying the strands down flat, while naturally curly hair has kinked and rougher strands which makes the light less likely to bounce off from it.
Sad we can't just be human and exist. I'm sure your hair is beautiful either way hun. Sorry people perceive the hair that grows out of your our head in such weird way as if you change to way you were born.
yeah, i'm an east asian girl with naturally curly hair and it was called messy & compared to a tiger's marine when I was growing up, but once I found out how to take care of it I started getting compliments. I can't lie though, I've thought multiple time about permanently straightening my hair to fit in with popular beauty standards.
I hate the way this channel takes modern culturally formed beauty standards and finds "scientific" reasons for them. We don't have to accept that "beauty" and acceptance only comes from emulating A Fox News anchor. From a curly haired white woman.
I'm white with naturally curly hair, my 3 daughters inherited this from me, their hair is absolutely stunning. I used to wear my hair very short as a kid and a teenager, because it was "easier and more manageable", until one day I said enough and let it grow, learned how to take care of it all by myself and now I will teach my girls. Just be you.❤
@@Womenmatter2009I completely agree. A superficial channel trying to explain to people what it is to be considered attractive. There’s a lot of subtility in beauty, and it’s subjective. Some would argue that it’s not, but these are only influenced by society’s standards. If magazines tell us that straight hair only are attractive, these people will all agree that women with straight hair are attractive, but they will change their minds as soon as magazines start shaming straight hair (just an example). Also, not all studies are to be taken seriously, and some of them are fake studies that are here to reinforce the standard set by the beauty industry (I mean, it needs to control what you perceive to be attractive so you give your money away for products, surgeries and so on).
Can you do a video on Lucy Liu? Westerners often rave about how attractive she is. Yet Asians call her unattractive. Would be curious what a "scientific" analysis would come up with.
Here in the U.S a song came out a few years ago called "Hey Ya" By Andre 3000 in the song he made a comment puting Lucy Liu on the same level of beauty as Beyonce. Afterwards an article came out discussing that, and to summarize it was concluded that we Americans are excited about Lucy Liu's looks not because she is really beautiful (though she is definitely not ugly, I would say she is average/plain looking), but because she is Asian. In other words it's more publicly acceptable to say that she is beautiful than to say that we have a fetish for Asian women. 😬
Hey, just this morning my mum was talking to me about how Chinese people are confused why Westerners marry people that Chinese people consider unattractive. Obviously there's an element of social selection (really attractive Chinese people will often want to marry their own ethnicity) but still, it'd be interesting to look at.
You should do a video on tattoos and attractiveness! I've read that tattoos on women make you be perceived as more promiscuous. I don't know if it has to do with size, color,or more importantly placement; but there are some people who tattoos really detract from them and others who completely pull it off.
I’ve noticed that a big neck tattoo that covers the entire front part makes some people look very attractive, I don’t know what it is but it does something to them lol if I remember a celeb that has I’ll mention it. But Tatubaby is one I can think of …
When as a teenager I tried to straighten my hair and only got emotional (and hair) damage from trying to fit the pattern. The effort to make my hair look certain way made me anxious, and I think I look better today by having a better relationship with my own hair, letting it be, respecting the shape and being gentle with the modeling.
I really appreciate the effort and research you put into talking about black hair ...my hair is healthiest in its natural afro state and I think I look good and get compliments but when I'm at work I definitely feel the vibe change ,either I make them nervous or they treat me like a spectacle
Straightening our hair can cause us to loose our hair. This is why the natural hair movement wasn't just about politics or rejecting Caucasian and Asian standards its also about health as you can see with the Jada Pinkett Smith situation.
I went natural and big chopped my hair last year. Before hand I always had my hair straight. It’s been very interesting to see the difference in how people would treat me based on my hairstyle
I feel like some people are so good looking that it doesn’t matter whether they have hair as long as their hair isn’t wonky shaped. Some of the most beautiful women and men I’ve ever seen were bald. I’m black and I feel like curly hair looks better on me than straight which is why I haven’t straightened it in 15 years. Straight hair only looks decent on me when it’s medium to short and in layers. Long straight hair pulls me down too much.
As someone who cut her hair short a few years ago, what surprised me was how positively men responded to it (I was going through some stuff and I didn't care if it looked bad, I just wanted to chop my hair lol). I think it brought out some of my better features, as opposed to my long hairstyle. Some people also see short hair as 'edgy'. Hairstyles really do bring out either your best or worst features depending on how they're done, and everyone probably has a specific short and long hairstyle that suits them perfectly and that will make them look attractive. That having been said, well-groomed long hair is always eye-catching.
I think Kibbe does the best job of determining which hair shapes and styles look best on the individual. It’s all about bone structure. It works for everyone I know, anyway.
I’m a Black woman with a very thick, kinky, medium-length Afro. I tend to keep it styled very simply-crown braid, high or low bun, a styled Afro, and sometimes a braid-out that I style in updos. I straighten it infrequently, and wear it shoulder length with soft waves at the ends. This is where it gets interesting. I have photos of myself with all my hairstyles on dating apps when I use them. With apps that let users like individual photos, the MOST popular hairstyle is a straight-from-the-sixties beehive look with sideswept bangs that’s one of my go-to updos when my hair is in a braidout. In the photo I’m also wearing a vintage cocktail dress and slightly 60s-inspired makeup. The same photo is the most liked photo I’ve ever posted on Instagram. I wear a less exaggerated version of that hairdo often irl, with scarves, headbands, or decorative hairpins, and it’s what garners the most attention in average urban multiracial settings. I’m talking double takes, jaw drops, free drinks, people thinking I’m a model, and in one instance, a man running down a corridor stopping to say “you’re stunning!” and continuing to run wherever he was going. TL:DR-There’s a reason why updos/heavily stylized hair have been the most common women’s hairstyles throughout history and across cultures. It’s universally popular and can be made to suit any hair type and face with the addition of decorations or extra hair. I’d love to see this studied.
I've had to do the big chop from straightening my hair a couple times. My hair was dead. Most people like me better with straight or even wavy hair. I personally think I'm prettier with that hair I just dont like killing my hair soni dont do it anymore. I'm happy that society is starting to appreciate curly hair and other natural hair styles.
I always knew that attractive women can pull off a range of hair styles. I think long hair is beneficial for less attractive women however. Thanks for sharing!
Just got a keratin treatment due to my hair being very thick and frizzy and a huge difference in my confidence level and ppl start treating me better too
@@livlt3711 😭 my hair used to be so thick and made me look so deshevlled and untidy and after I got the treatment everyone is starting to get kind with me and I basically have started to get pretty privilege like ppl holding the door for me, paying for my coffee and etc hair makes a huge difference in ones appearance. I think only physically attractive ppl can pull of unruly hair for me I am not that attractive I am average so my hair being tidy really helped me out
i have a heart shaped face and i hate having long hair. it elongates my face too much & weighs down my curls. i prefer having a lion cut (just a round cut with layers for curly hair) i get a lot of compliments on it & how much it suits me : )
only girls say that. as a guy I can tell you that its bullshit. Long is always better than short no matter the person and to short means sexually dead. too long is also bad.
@@sshreddderr9409 as if you speak for every guy in the world. My boyfriend prefers my medium/short hair over my previous long hair. He also says that my bright red hair has more character than my boring brown hair did. So in conclusion; you’re just one person. Everyone has different preferences and you can’t speak for anyone but yourself
I can't believe they spent time and money studying this instead of female specific diseases or cancer, actually I can. They are just that narcassistic, and our society rewards that sort of thing.
Curly, wavy soft hair that's pulled away from my face looks best on me. I feel kinda lazy looking when I have my hair pulled back into a bun or ponytail but it looks more elegant. Hair that's around my face just makes me look like I dont have a neck. I dont have the "best" profile (I have a flat nose/face), but my cheekbones are high and I have a good jawline so I think I can pull it off.
This is an interesting video. As an Asian-American woman, I have medium-length slightly wavy, thick hair. At work, I just wear a ponytail. However on other days, I let my hair down (literally) and either blow dry it straight or air dry it wavy. Also, I definitely believe face shape is a key factor in determining a flattering hairstyle. Like clothing, one’s hairstyle is a form of creative expression too.
I think hair that is straight or wavy looks better when it’s fine or medium in terms of follicle thickness. Coily or kinky looks better when the hair is course or has thick strands. Also, with blondes, if the hair is too course it looks like straw too me. The finer strands reflect more light and appear less stiff. It’s very interesting when someone with 4c hair gets a silk press. The girls who have the finer hair get a more glossy and cascading result as opposed to the course girls. They get more volume and bounce but a little less luminosity and flow.
mmm , interesting analysis .. now that you say it , and i think about it , i can't say you're wrong .. my hair is tightly coiled , but when the right person does it right , it gets silky .. buuuut , i do like textured styles on myself more
@@TeKeyaKrystal me too. My hair is tightly coiled, but when I get a silk press, it's long, shiny and bouncy. Overall, I do prefer textured to straightened
Interesting because most kinky haired girls have fine strands. So you're pretty much saying most of our hair would look better if we had course strands? I swear you folks do not think before you speak. 🙄
@@The.Whoever i mean...mine is 4c and fine. 4c and fine looks better when its in a fro or when straightened. the courser textures work better for most common natural styles. it looks better twisted out, in locks, and braided. when its fine, the locks and braids look too small and the twist outs look more frizzy to me. idk if i believe that most 4c is fine though. i see both a lot. where are you getting that?
@@dantan1249 Its just hard to fathom how the hair that grows out of your head only looks good only if the strands are a certain size. Yet most black ppl dont even have course strands. So I guess most of us don't look good with our hair? Lol wtf I thought it was a well known fact that most black ppl have fine hair. Stylists will most definitely tell you that. Please note that I said most and not all. There's a reason our hair is so fragile. It's because it's fine AND coily. Coarse hair doesnt break nearly as much. Even when it's highly "textured". I thought everyone knew that. Asian ppl are the ones that have coarse strands, generally. Not us...I mean...these are facts...what do you mean where am I getting this???👀😕 Are you getting texture and density mixed up? Because ppl tend to do that....
I have naturally curly hair, but I find I get the most compliments when I have my head shaved. I have a pretty feminine face: big rounded eyes, long lashes, and a small nose. My face is pretty soft but my jaw and chin are defined. I want to have long hair again someday but I’m in a stage of my life where I wanna do what’s cost effective + works for me. I guess it’s a good thing people enjoy the shaved look
And then there are styling systems like Northrup, McJimsey, Kibbe and Kitchener PSC that are based on the balance of yin and yang in your bone structure and flesh… and how to bring out the best in your own unique beauty by following the lines (curved, blunt or angular) and relative degree of softness in your features, through hairstyles, accessories, and clothing. Since longer hair would generally be considered a yin feature, depending on how straight or wavy/curly it is, shorter styles may suit some of the more yang types in these systems. And the most petite frames can become overwhelmed by long hair, so some of the recommendations are based around finding the balance with one’s build as well as facial structure. Not saying one system is right and the other wrong - just another facet to consider in the bigger picture! 💖🥰🕉
I think it is the opposite. A more masculine face can look harsh with short hair, while long hair soften the features. Whereas a young, pretty, small featured face, can look stunning with a pixie cut...
@@riorio745 ur point makes a lot of sense and I agree they had gorgeous faces to carry any hairstyle. I just feel that with short hair ur neck n collar bones are highlighted even more , jus my opinion :)
Honestly as a guy, when the hair of a woman are to short, I can no longer feel any sexual attraction no matter how good the rest looks. Even the most attractive woman become sexually dead by cutting the hair to short and lots of guys feel that way. I cant imagine living in a time when this was common, but Im sure it was introduced through feminism and with the intent of making them look more masculine.
@@user-li8dt1vg5b my opinion is relevant because its the truth. beauty magazines are made to sell ideas, in this case the short hair was feminist propaganda, and have nothing to do with whats beautiful. Beauty is timeless and doesnt have trends. Anything else is manipulation to sell. And btw women DO dress only for attracting men. a womans hole purpose is attracting men outside of the mothers role, as females in nature can not survive without the males ability to provide food and shelter. Everything that young woman do with their looks is geared towards attracting men, and it should as it is just what is natural. Pretending and acting otherwise is just delusional or manipulation. You can think what you want and do what you want, but it wont change the fact that you will shoot yourself in the foot because lots of men especially higher quality ones wont be interested in you because short hair are as attracting to us as weak and dumb men are to women. Im just trying to help, but your allowed to sell yourself short in life.
@@sshreddderr9409 “I’m just trying to help” boy shush, the world doesn’t revolve around men despite what you may think. Women are hot and always will be, no matter how they cut their hair or the way they dress. Break out of this mentality that women are only sex objects and mother figures and realise that they are whole people regardless of a mans opinion.
@@sshreddderr9409 I'm such a scary and delusional manipulator because I don't care about attracting men, I dress up only for myself. What an icon of manipulation! Lmao dude, seriously?
Can you do a video on orbital bones, specifically infraorbital rims, i wanna know just what affects the eye shape. From what I've seen, posterior part of the eye is very affected by zygomatic bone height As for anterior part - upper maxillary protrusion is what makes it attractive, makes it look like there's no under-eye hollowness.
My entire life I've always wanted waist long hair... I've never been able to get long hair for whatever reason, until covid! During covid my hair has grown the longest it has ever been and I am so happy.
This is interesting. When they showed the photos at 6:09, I chose these three at 7:51 to be the BEST hair for her, not the worst. Maybe that is the difference between male gaze and female gaze?
as a guy, I can tell you that we perceive certain features to be better looking that you simply can not perceive, just like the other way around, without knowing exactly what these features are. Hair of a certain length will always outperform significantly shorter or longer hair, regardless of color or texture. While hairstyles and coloring can be very subjective, length and a healthy, clean look are universal.
these videos are so interesting! I find them helpful. As a 29yr old Black American woman, my objective in following this channel is to learn how to be as attractive as possible lol... sounds odd, but is very effective! In my observation, hair weaves never look as healthy/natural as natural hair because theyre too dense and the textures arent natural. Personally, I think I look most beautiful when my natural hair is glossy/moisturized and the thin parts of my hairline are lightly enhanced to appear thicker. I have a widows peak, which is quirky and unique, so i try to embrace it and part accordingly. My profile picture is about 5yrs old when I moved to NYC and began experimenting with half-wigs, which gave me the option to increase the length of my hair while maintaining a natural hairline... the issue with these is the volume though- its just too much hair! Naturally, the hair on my head is THICK! I have a lot of hairs per inch... and so does my Italian/Polish boyfriend- his hair is dense, and even he remarks that I have a LOT of natural hair... although I happen to know that he prefers the ringlets of type 3 hair of latinas. His mom and sister have densely thick wavy medium-length European hair... tbh, I believe he subconsciously knows that our kids would have the hair he finds most attractive, and this is interesting to me! I mean, obviously we date who we date because we love them, like them, are attracted to them, whatever, but scientifically, there are reasons WHY we like what we like
This chanel makes me feels better about my looks, even though i do not fit the scientific or societal beauty standards. But just learning about the scientific reasons these standards exists just makes me happy with myself for some reason, idk how to explain it
I am pretty average, but bro my hair really is a deal maker, pretty long, brown, healthy hair and good hairline, i mean god had to be merciful as he created
Where I'm from most women wear their hair straight even if it's curly or wavy and curl it with curling irons occasionally so wearing your hair naturally wavy or curly every day stands out
It's taken me so many years of trial and error to make my hair manageable. It's fine, wavy, frizzy and extremely dry. I have found that using a mild shampoo on the roots only once a week is the only thing that works for my hair and to wash the lengths with water only. I use a leave in cream conditioner and serum on the lengths because even water seems to make my hair a little dry after washing. Then I use a small amount of hair gel and I brush my hair with a paddle brush and scrunch it a little. My natural wave pattern forms and I can use a paddle brush a few times that day and it doesn't disrupt it, it simply just untangles my hair. I probably brush my hair 2-3 times a day. I get highlights once a year and that's the only time my hair sees an all over conditioner and shampoo. I don't have to deal with build up because it seems that water just washes the products I use away. For the first time in my life I have smooth shiny hair with attractive waves that is manageable and not breaking off and not frizzy. I tried the wavy girl method and it made my hair have the texture of dry vermicelli. It was also ridiculously tangled because I was told not to brush my hair and use a wide tooth comb. A paddle brush with lots of bristles seems to work the best on my hair which goes against all the commonly held knowledge of wavy hair. Nothing that has claimed to have all the answers has ever worked for me. I have had to find my own method.
personally, i feel like longer hair would suit me bc my eyebrows are short, so it makes my forehead look bigger than it actually is. but with shrinkage, most afro hair appears shorter than it really is. so even at mid back length, it's still "short" 🙁 i guess i'm growing my hair to thigh-length.
You need to get a blunt cut to where it's longer on the top & shorter on the bottom. This will give you more hangtime & make your hair appear longer. I also blow my hair out & then style. Wet setting the hair will make the shrinkage worse. No heat damage as a blow dryer only gets to 150 degrees on low.
For some reason pink hair looks natural to me. I think it’s because we have pink lips and cheeks so the pink is kind of an analogue to the skin. I like the pastel pink color on girls. Or even peachy .
As a guy, womans natural hair color is almost always the best. anything that looks unnatural is bad except highlights or colors that look mostly natural and fit with the natural color and hair texture. if you have dark blonde hair, a lighter color or lighter highlights on top look great to me, but I wouldnt like it on a woman with brown or black hair. for darker hair things like silver highlights would still look great to me, but its the only exception. if its an artificial color, it shouldnt look unnaturally uniform, it needs to fit your ethnicity or other facial features like eyes and eyebrows and resemble a naturally existing color.
Hi I'm an African American male, and I can't speak for other races of men, or even other men of my own race, but personally EVERY white woman I've seen with curly hair l was very attracted to because it's unique on them. 😁 Anyway since this is the 3rd video he's done on hair, I already know what his answer is going to be. On women with an attractive face it's not going to matter, whereas it will be a boost for women that are not attractive.... Oh and it has to be long and curly. From all the videos it appears length matters more than style or texture.
I assume you’re Italian from your name. I’m Nigerian Italian and I’ve always found Italian women and men with curly hair much more attractive than the ones with straight hair. Maybe I’m biased but I do think that white people with curly hair stand out a lot and kinda makes them look more “exotic” and approachable.
Interesting video! I'm curious about the history of hair straightening in East Asia. While naturally straight hair is pretty common among Asians, wavy or 'frizzy' hair is not uncommon at all. Sometimes too, Asian women with naturally straight but not 'flat hair' (hair that appears 'wide') will use a straightening iron to make the hair sit flat. Japan even invented one of the most successful hair straightening methods in the world.

I suffer from hairloss since I was a little girl and it has always made me feel like a monster although I think I have a pretty face and body. Hair is very important.
I am a person of color, gay man in my mid-20s, with plain hair for most of all my life. I started going to the salon to have my hair curled when I was 23. I'm 26 now. And my curly hair is now touching my shoulder. This hair gave me confidence. And it elevated my look. I started getting second looks, wholesome compliments from men and women. I think I will forever stick to curly hair. Sure, most days it's hard to tame. But on good days, I look charming AF, this is me just being genuinely confident. Fleabag is right--hair is everything.
It would be interesting to do a derivative of this study on part placement. If symmetry is ideal for biological beauty, why do many people look better with their hair parted to one side or the other rather than in the centre? Does the location of the hair-part have an influence on how we perceive the balance between facial proportions in asymmetrical faces?
Thumbs up for you. I always appreciate the scientific approach. It offers a nice contrast to my layman view of beauty… a lottery that some win, and some don’t win.
I straightened my loose curls to death in middle and high school. Thinking back on that makes me laugh, my 2c-3a hair just looks so much better on my face.
I`ve had both short (bob) and long hair in college years and paid attention to how I was perceived. The number of people who manifested some kind of attraction to me with short hair when compared to long was around 1/3! Even though I supposedly can pull off the short.
In Brihat Samhita, the preferred hair density for men and women in ancient India was very wiry hair since it showed intellect and the sindoor (red vermillion) showed more in ones head. Natural selection in Ancient India might breed the same hair regimes in Indian populations today, with a larger forehead and more wiry hair becoming more prominent.
I grew up in Sydney in the 70's and natural African hair was considered a beauty standard, just look at how Freda Payne appeared in the public eye then and she was indicative of how popular this style was. Women would perm their hair to get the closest look to that they could.
Oh my! The photo of the young lady from (probably) 100 years ago, I remember a picture of my mother-in-law's mom - same sideview pose with hair down and hanging over the shoulder. I guess that was a typical pose back then. Women wore their hair in a bun but whoever knew it was that long ? What an interesting memory!
Interesting video although I absolutely disagree with the statement that we look better with our natural hair.. this is simply not true. Some faces and body types can pull off hair that does or look as tidy.. others look much better with super sleek tidy hair. Alyona from the channel Aly Art talks about this and presents a great explanation depending on Kibbe Types.. and she’s absolutely spot on with her analysis. This also depends on the colouration of skin, eyes and hair, structure, build and essence of the body. I also know this from personal experience.. I know do not look my best in my own natural hair colour and texture however I have learned to understand what looks good on me and what does not.

If possible, please do a video on how earrings and other accessories have an effect on facial aesthetics! I noticed I look waaaay more attractive with hoop earrings on compared to studs or no earrings
Omg same!!! Hoops flatter the face so much
Interesting! I’m the opposite, studs suit me much better than hoops!
I love hoop earrings yet I look ridiculous in them
well, to yourself
For women with round and square faces,hoop earrings make them even wider. Long earrings or very small ones are more flattering.
your natural hair kept healthy is always best despite length and race. As a black woman I keep my hair in its natural coily texture, healthy and long or in braids. I've said goodbye to straight hair and trying to be what Im not long ago. I feel and look so much better! Thanks for acknowledging the history and social/professional issues that are a part of the black hair story.
It's true! But now I'm told I look like a child because I look younger with natural hair 💀
I'm white and I curl my hair
As I've grown I've began to notice that I look wayyy better with my natural hair and black hairstyles than when I straighten my hair. So I've also just kept it that way In it's coily state or a blow out that's not so near to straight hair type.
@@NeroMai the reason why people perceive natural hair as “child-like” is because they’ve only ever seen children with their natural hair out. As someone who had never worn straight hair before, I couldnt understand why people saw it as childish at first but when i came to realize the reason i was truly mindblown. So many women have straight hair as teens and young adults so people are conditioned to think it’s childish because it’s what they see most in only a specific age demographic of black women and girls.
@@pootlovato8237 actually, it’s just because it makes the face rounder which in turns make you look younger 🙃

Yes, I love super curly hair!
It is really frustrating that there are barely any studies on curly hair. So many people have curly hair and have no idea how to take care of it properly, and so end up brushing it out in an effort to make it look 'tidier', but just end up damaging it further and making it look unkempt and messy. If there was more readily available information about how to properly care for curly hair, more people who have it would be able to make it look tidy, defined, shiny and healthy. Of course prejudices will still exist, especially toward people of colour, but if there was more correct education then we may have less people thinking that it is untidy or messy, and more people being able to realise how attractive curly hair is, especially since it takes way more energy and time to groom properly.
YES YES YES. I have started leaving my baby hairs alone merely because I’ve come to the realization that straight haired people can rock their messy strays or “face framing strands” but for some reason we’re considered unkept if we let stray curls out. It’s not fair that I have to basically glue my most fragile hairs down to be considered kept but they can have texture and look chic.
@@Natalie-xr9qv baby hairs look unnatractive on anyone???
True, probably because there's not enough people with curly hair in the hair care industry and also not a large part of the population so less profit motive
As a guy, curly hair on a girl mostly prevents me from being able to feel any sexual attraction even with the best body and face. the hair have to have the appearance of being clean, soft and fur-like.
the best hair that they can have in my opinion is of a certain length range, looking healthy, natural looking color, full, soft and are wavy, along with proper styling.
@@sshreddderr9409 of course everyone can be attracted to whatever they're attracted to, and not finding curly hair attractive is fine. But to imply that curly hair looks dirty is pretty rude. Properly cared for and styled curly hair requires a LOT more attention than straight hair does, and is clean. Curly hair is purely a result of the form of the root of the hair, not the result of dirt or lack of care.
afro hair always gets referred to as "70s hair" or "fun & wild" so it's never surprising when your superior (teacher, boss etc) suddenly tells you that your hair isn't "appropriate" for the setting. i never did straighten my hair tho 😂👆🏾
but they're a bit more willing to let things slide now that my hair is less kinky and more curly. disappointing but that's the sad truth.
I got in a lot of trouble for my hair as a kid because it was wild and unruly too, even though I'm a brown person in a brown country and curly hair isn't at all rare here. oof

@Mimoo Music whaaat? Since when?
BIG FACTSSS
I got WAY MORE attention from men after cutting my hair to chin length! I cut it just because I thought the style was cute. I was so surprised when more men started approaching me, and now I get a lot of compliments in public - not just people saying “I like your hair” but also saying “you’re very beautiful” in a way I never experienced with longer hair.
I think it’s because I have very soft facial features and a more delicate bone structure that get hidden by long hair. My friend who has more angular features looks incredible with voluminous, long hair, but not me. Basically, if I take the conventional advice that long hair is more attractive, I’m shooting myself in the foot because I have the sort of face that will blend in if I don’t make space for it. It also helps that my hair is thick/wavy, and I keep it looking healthy/styled.
If you think your face might stand out more (in a good way) with short hair but are afraid to lose attractiveness points, I’d advise at least considering the risk because it may really pay off.
Also, though, short hair is a "hot girl" hair style at the moment, with loads of people over the past year or so doing the hot girl chin-length bob. If you're young-looking and can already be considered attractive, it'll be great as long as that style is on trend - and maybe after, depending on how it looks and meshes with your style :) .
out of curiosty where do yu live. Because I live in UK and feel as though your country has part to play in how much you may get approached
People say my micro bangs look like shit lol and I see what they mean but I got a shorter more layered haircut and it frames my round, delicate face way better. My hair used to have too much volume at the bottom and too little at the top and it made my face look more bottom-heavy.
I’m considering doing this
@@brooke9297 when the girl with long silky straight thick hair enters the room none of short haired girls can compete. I've seen it many times.

And trust me, nobody could compete. Especially if you have lean body,medium to tall height and you hair is covering your shoulders and back. Looks like you just came from fairy tale

Yes!! As soon as my hair starts getting greasy I start feeling less pretty
That is honestly such an interesting observation..I’ve never quite paid attention to my mood around that time other than the fact that I can be a little uninterested in actually getting to the washing process lol. I’m definitely going to see if there’s any truth to this for me.
It would be interesting to address older woman to cutting there hair shorter and whether it does give them the face lift effect that they desire .
I'm pretty sure that looks are not a priority for most older women and they generally choose shorter hairstyles because they don't require a lot of maintenance.
@@Fr0zenPeanut No older woman aren't just going to give up and play dead . You are mistaken . Especially with celebrities like Madonna and older influences , a lot of older woman feel increased pressure to look youthful and fit for as long as possible . Short hairstyles also aren't necessarily easier to maintain than shoulder length hair that you can put up .
@@celestialcircledance I'm talking about average women, not celebrities and influencers. Also, I'm not a woman, but even I know from experience that shorter hair is easier to maintain.
@@Fr0zenPeanut Who do you think watches those older celebrities and influences for tips ? Average older woman and there called influencers for a reason . My hairs wavy and harder to style short than shoulder length but you probably have different type of hair than me which is fair enough . A lot of older woman die there hair in addition and get manicures and that takes a lot of maintenance .You can go on believing what you want but as a 50 years old woman speaking from personal experience we are not purely practical beings who have lost touch with our femininity and sensuality . You are very much mistaken !!
I feel like it has become a social norm. Shorter hair is seen as more conservative for older people, just like revealing clothing long hair worn loose is often seen as a sign of women wanting to be "sexy".And older women are often stripped from their sexuality in our society. Also thinning hair is harder to look good when it is long. Hair becomes more brittle when it gets grey and therefore harder to even grow out longer.
And then there’s Rihanna. Who looks good in every hairstyle
Nah. Rihanna had alot of ugly hairstyles that didn't suit her over the years but because she's a celebrity we are all conditioned to automatically love everything they do and hype them (like Slayyy queen) even when they look mediocre.

The approach isn't as rational as it seems.
Of interest: in colonial Louisiana, women of colour were required to wear headscarves, because their hair and the more elaborate styles they did were seen as threatening to the beauty of white women. This was present on plantations as well, where white women felt threatened by the hair of women who were enslaved. And so a huge process of *making* Afro hair seem inferior had to occur-it wasn’t automatic, or innate. It was also a trend in the 18th century for white upper class people to replicate Afro hair.
i'm from Louisiana , and this story sounds familiar
I just looked at Marie-Antoinette's hairstyle
That's Not True! Black women were Required to Cover their hair Because it was Deemed Ugly and Offensive.
I live in lousiana, if you visit one of the museums in the french quarters, they into depth about the headscarf law and have portraits of women from that time
I heard of that, it's so crazy
As Fleabag says, hair IS everything
A girl I know has hair down to her waist/hips, it's naturally blonde and wavy and really stands out when she walks down the street, she's also attractive and models and always gets called a Barbie or a (Disney) princess
I think hair that is too long looks unkempt and takes aways from your figure. Ideal length for straight hair is probably around mid back.
@@lavacaqueri5454 I think it can look good if it's well-maintained and shaped, like with light layering.
I used to have hair this long (my hair is brunette and straight), I got a lot of attention and people used to call me Repunzel. It was high maintenance but I enjoyed the aesthetic.
I had a friend like that in high school hair down to the butt and she looked just like Selena (the late Hispanic singer) and she was true bless the also have lashes almost to her brows and really full brows super thin she never were any makeup other than mascara and liner. She turned heads everywhere and got annoying cat calls everyday but the crazy part is she didn't think she was pretty so all our friends made up this silly nickname (big sexy lol) to remind her she was the ish lol sorry for the rant you commented just reminded of a good friend I miss dearly also I'm sure your friend is a bomb shell too lol

@@ejhdbegbeidishdj9358 are you mad?
Please tell me more, very interesting.
I’m amazed that hair thickness (specifically density and evenness along the bottom) was not further addressed here. Not blaming the creators of the video but rather the researchers. In my opinion it is just as important (if not more so) than length. It is more of an indicator of genes, health, and youth than length is honestly. And that’s across the board, regardless of hair type. Of course, length can add femininity and disguise or distract from masculinity, but I think most people would take a thick, curly bob over long, straight, low density hair with thinning and broken ends. Maybe one day there will be enough research to create a part 2 which further includes thickness and Afro hair!
Probably wasnt mentioned cause less yair or thinning hair doesnt even stand a chance in beauty
Long thick straight hair is the best. The girl with flowing blonde hair has beautiful hair
As a white woman with naturally curly hair I will say, based on my own experience, that natural curly hair and curled hair with an iron gain two different responses. Natural curly hair is still considered "unprofessional" looking and seen as less attractive, regardless of race, while curled hair is seen as very attractive.
My theory for this is curly hair can be more unruly, and it's state is subjected to by the elements, so throughout the day the way your hair looks can change leading to more frizz or expansion, while curled hair has a sleeker appearance and won't change the moment the environment changes and is less susceptible to frizzing. Curled hair also has more gloss to it since the hair is being essentially straightened and then curled by the heat of the iron, laying the strands down flat, while naturally curly hair has kinked and rougher strands which makes the light less likely to bounce off from it.
Sad we can't just be human and exist. I'm sure your hair is beautiful either way hun. Sorry people perceive the hair that grows out of your our head in such weird way as if you change to way you were born.
yeah, i'm an east asian girl with naturally curly hair and it was called messy & compared to a tiger's marine when I was growing up, but once I found out how to take care of it I started getting compliments. I can't lie though, I've thought multiple time about permanently straightening my hair to fit in with popular beauty standards.
I hate the way this channel takes modern culturally formed beauty standards and finds "scientific" reasons for them. We don't have to accept that "beauty" and acceptance only comes from emulating A Fox News anchor.
From a curly haired white woman.
I'm white with naturally curly hair, my 3 daughters inherited this from me, their hair is absolutely stunning. I used to wear my hair very short as a kid and a teenager, because it was "easier and more manageable", until one day I said enough and let it grow, learned how to take care of it all by myself and now I will teach my girls. Just be you.❤
@@Womenmatter2009I completely agree. A superficial channel trying to explain to people what it is to be considered attractive. There’s a lot of subtility in beauty, and it’s subjective. Some would argue that it’s not, but these are only influenced by society’s standards. If magazines tell us that straight hair only are attractive, these people will all agree that women with straight hair are attractive, but they will change their minds as soon as magazines start shaming straight hair (just an example).
Also, not all studies are to be taken seriously, and some of them are fake studies that are here to reinforce the standard set by the beauty industry (I mean, it needs to control what you perceive to be attractive so you give your money away for products, surgeries and so on).
Can you do a video on Lucy Liu? Westerners often rave about how attractive she is. Yet Asians call her unattractive. Would be curious what a "scientific" analysis would come up with.
Here in the U.S a song came out a few years ago called "Hey Ya" By Andre 3000 in the song he made a comment puting Lucy Liu on the same level of beauty as Beyonce. Afterwards an article came out discussing that, and to summarize it was concluded that we Americans are excited about Lucy Liu's looks not because she is really beautiful (though she is definitely not ugly, I would say she is average/plain looking), but because she is Asian. In other words it's more publicly acceptable to say that she is beautiful than to say that we have a fetish for Asian women. 😬
Hey, just this morning my mum was talking to me about how Chinese people are confused why Westerners marry people that Chinese people consider unattractive. Obviously there's an element of social selection (really attractive Chinese people will often want to marry their own ethnicity) but still, it'd be interesting to look at.
I'm Asian and I think Lucy is gorgeous. Even tho normally I don't find very monolid/narrow eyes attractive. She is just gorgeous.

When as a teenager I tried to straighten my hair and only got emotional (and hair) damage from trying to fit the pattern.

Straightening our hair can cause us to loose our hair. This is why the natural hair movement wasn't just about politics or rejecting Caucasian and Asian standards its also about health as you can see with the Jada Pinkett Smith situation.
I went natural and big chopped my hair last year. Before hand I always had my hair straight. It’s been very interesting to see the difference in how people would treat me based on my hairstyle
I feel like some people are so good looking that it doesn’t matter whether they have hair as long as their hair isn’t wonky shaped. Some of the most beautiful women and men I’ve ever seen were bald. I’m black and I feel like curly hair looks better on me than straight which is why I haven’t straightened it in 15 years. Straight hair only looks decent on me when it’s medium to short and in layers. Long straight hair pulls me down too much.
As someone who cut her hair short a few years ago, what surprised me was how positively men responded to it (I was going through some stuff and I didn't care if it looked bad, I just wanted to chop my hair lol). I think it brought out some of my better features, as opposed to my long hairstyle. Some people also see short hair as 'edgy'. Hairstyles really do bring out either your best or worst features depending on how they're done, and everyone probably has a specific short and long hairstyle that suits them perfectly and that will make them look attractive. That having been said, well-groomed long hair is always eye-catching.
I think Kibbe does the best job of determining which hair shapes and styles look best on the individual. It’s all about bone structure. It works for everyone I know, anyway.
I’m a Black woman with a very thick, kinky, medium-length Afro. I tend to keep it styled very simply-crown braid, high or low bun, a styled Afro, and sometimes a braid-out that I style in updos. I straighten it infrequently, and wear it shoulder length with soft waves at the ends.
This is where it gets interesting. I have photos of myself with all my hairstyles on dating apps when I use them. With apps that let users like individual photos, the MOST popular hairstyle is a straight-from-the-sixties beehive look with sideswept bangs that’s one of my go-to updos when my hair is in a braidout. In the photo I’m also wearing a vintage cocktail dress and slightly 60s-inspired makeup. The same photo is the most liked photo I’ve ever posted on Instagram. I wear a less exaggerated version of that hairdo often irl, with scarves, headbands, or decorative hairpins, and it’s what garners the most attention in average urban multiracial settings. I’m talking double takes, jaw drops, free drinks, people thinking I’m a model, and in one instance, a man running down a corridor stopping to say “you’re stunning!” and continuing to run wherever he was going.
TL:DR-There’s a reason why updos/heavily stylized hair have been the most common women’s hairstyles throughout history and across cultures. It’s universally popular and can be made to suit any hair type and face with the addition of decorations or extra hair. I’d love to see this studied.
I've had to do the big chop from straightening my hair a couple times. My hair was dead. Most people like me better with straight or even wavy hair.

I think only physically attractive ppl can pull of unruly hair for me I am not that attractive I am average so my hair being tidy really helped me out
I am getting a kertin treatment too
i have a heart shaped face and i hate having long hair. it elongates my face too much & weighs down my curls. i prefer having a lion cut (just a round cut with layers for curly hair) i get a lot of compliments on it & how much it suits me : )
got my hair super short and everyone says it suits me much better, wow looks like i am outstandingly beautiful
only girls say that. as a guy I can tell you that its bullshit. Long is always better than short no matter the person and to short means sexually dead. too long is also bad.
Damn what a way to bring someone down
@@sshreddderr9409 as if you speak for every guy in the world. My boyfriend prefers my medium/short hair over my previous long hair. He also says that my bright red hair has more character than my boring brown hair did. So in conclusion; you’re just one person. Everyone has different preferences and you can’t speak for anyone but yourself
I can't believe they spent time and money studying this instead of female specific diseases or cancer, actually I can. They are just that narcassistic, and our society rewards that sort of thing.
Curly, wavy soft hair that's pulled away from my face looks best on me. I feel kinda lazy looking when I have my hair pulled back into a bun or ponytail but it looks more elegant. Hair that's around my face just makes me look like I dont have a neck. I dont have the "best" profile (I have a flat nose/face), but my cheekbones are high and I have a good jawline so I think I can pull it off.
Is your hair naturally wavy ?
Thank you for putting out so much good content consistently! 💕
This is an interesting video. As an Asian-American woman, I have medium-length slightly wavy, thick hair. At work, I just wear a ponytail. However on other days, I let my hair down (literally) and either blow dry it straight or air dry it wavy. Also, I definitely believe face shape is a key factor in determining a flattering hairstyle. Like clothing, one’s hairstyle is a form of creative expression too.
I think hair that is straight or wavy looks better when it’s fine or medium in terms of follicle thickness. Coily or kinky looks better when the hair is course or has thick strands. Also, with blondes, if the hair is too course it looks like straw too me. The finer strands reflect more light and appear less stiff. It’s very interesting when someone with 4c hair gets a silk press. The girls who have the finer hair get a more glossy and cascading result as opposed to the course girls. They get more volume and bounce but a little less luminosity and flow.
mmm , interesting analysis .. now that you say it , and i think about it , i can't say you're wrong .. my hair is tightly coiled , but when the right person does it right , it gets silky .. buuuut , i do like textured styles on myself more
@@TeKeyaKrystal me too. My hair is tightly coiled, but when I get a silk press, it's long, shiny and bouncy. Overall, I do prefer textured to straightened
Interesting because most kinky haired girls have fine strands. So you're pretty much saying most of our hair would look better if we had course strands? I swear you folks do not think before you speak. 🙄
@@The.Whoever i mean...mine is 4c and fine. 4c and fine looks better when its in a fro or when straightened. the courser textures work better for most common natural styles. it looks better twisted out, in locks, and braided. when its fine, the locks and braids look too small and the twist outs look more frizzy to me. idk if i believe that most 4c is fine though. i see both a lot. where are you getting that?
@@dantan1249 Its just hard to fathom how the hair that grows out of your head only looks good only if the strands are a certain size. Yet most black ppl dont even have course strands. So I guess most of us don't look good with our hair? Lol wtf I thought it was a well known fact that most black ppl have fine hair. Stylists will most definitely tell you that. Please note that I said most and not all. There's a reason our hair is so fragile. It's because it's fine AND coily. Coarse hair doesnt break nearly as much. Even when it's highly "textured". I thought everyone knew that. Asian ppl are the ones that have coarse strands, generally. Not us...I mean...these are facts...what do you mean where am I getting this???👀😕
Are you getting texture and density mixed up? Because ppl tend to do that....
I have naturally curly hair, but I find I get the most compliments when I have my head shaved. I have a pretty feminine face: big rounded eyes, long lashes, and a small nose. My face is pretty soft but my jaw and chin are defined.
I want to have long hair again someday but I’m in a stage of my life where I wanna do what’s cost effective + works for me. I guess it’s a good thing people enjoy the shaved look
And then there are styling systems like Northrup, McJimsey, Kibbe and Kitchener PSC that are based on the balance of yin and yang in your bone structure and flesh… and how to bring out the best in your own unique beauty by following the lines (curved, blunt or angular) and relative degree of softness in your features, through hairstyles, accessories, and clothing. Since longer hair would generally be considered a yin feature, depending on how straight or wavy/curly it is, shorter styles may suit some of the more yang types in these systems. And the most petite frames can become overwhelmed by long hair, so some of the recommendations are based around finding the balance with one’s build as well as facial structure. Not saying one system is right and the other wrong - just another facet to consider in the bigger picture! 💖🥰🕉
Hadn't thought of yin and yang having to do with hair. I will give it thought. 😃
I feel like short hair looks better on stronger/more masculine features
Same. When you have babyface sometimes, short hair doesn’t work
I think it is the opposite. A more masculine face can look harsh with short hair, while long hair soften the features. Whereas a young, pretty, small featured face, can look stunning with a pixie cut...
I don't think so. Softer faces embodies the pixie/fairy concept of the pixie cut.
@@riorio745 was about to comment this, they even look 10x younger and cuter.
This is by Far the best beauty channel
Marilyn Monroe , Lady Diana, Whitney Houstoun : super short hair and way more beautiful than so many long haired women put together. Period.
@@riorio745 ur point makes a lot of sense and I agree they had gorgeous faces to carry any hairstyle. I just feel that with short hair ur neck n collar bones are highlighted even more , jus my opinion :)
Honestly as a guy, when the hair of a woman are to short, I can no longer feel any sexual attraction no matter how good the rest looks. Even the most attractive woman become sexually dead by cutting the hair to short and lots of guys feel that way. I cant imagine living in a time when this was common, but Im sure it was introduced through feminism and with the intent of making them look more masculine.
@@user-li8dt1vg5b my opinion is relevant because its the truth. beauty magazines are made to sell ideas, in this case the short hair was feminist propaganda, and have nothing to do with whats beautiful. Beauty is timeless and doesnt have trends. Anything else is manipulation to sell.
And btw women DO dress only for attracting men. a womans hole purpose is attracting men outside of the mothers role, as females in nature can not survive without the males ability to provide food and shelter. Everything that young woman do with their looks is geared towards attracting men, and it should as it is just what is natural. Pretending and acting otherwise is just delusional or manipulation.
You can think what you want and do what you want, but it wont change the fact that you will shoot yourself in the foot because lots of men especially higher quality ones wont be interested in you because short hair are as attracting to us as weak and dumb men are to women. Im just trying to help, but your allowed to sell yourself short in life.
@@sshreddderr9409 “I’m just trying to help” boy shush, the world doesn’t revolve around men despite what you may think. Women are hot and always will be, no matter how they cut their hair or the way they dress. Break out of this mentality that women are only sex objects and mother figures and realise that they are whole people regardless of a mans opinion.
@@sshreddderr9409 I'm such a scary and delusional manipulator because I don't care about attracting men, I dress up only for myself. What an icon of manipulation! Lmao dude, seriously?
healthy, clean, and tidy hair will always be the most attractive amongst everyone
you forgot long for woman
If you have a little bit of a long face, curls really help make it look alot smaller! 💗 Yw
Can you do a video on orbital bones, specifically infraorbital rims, i wanna know just what affects the eye shape.
From what I've seen, posterior part of the eye is very affected by zygomatic bone height
As for anterior part - upper maxillary protrusion is what makes it attractive, makes it look like there's no under-eye hollowness.
My entire life I've always wanted waist long hair... I've never been able to get long hair for whatever reason, until covid! During covid my hair has grown the longest it has ever been and I am so happy.
You should do a video on the parting of the hair and how it affects the facial features!
This is interesting. When they showed the photos at 6:09, I chose these three at 7:51 to be the BEST hair for her, not the worst. Maybe that is the difference between male gaze and female gaze?
Maybe take a break from the internet.
as a guy, I can tell you that we perceive certain features to be better looking that you simply can not perceive, just like the other way around, without knowing exactly what these features are. Hair of a certain length will always outperform significantly shorter or longer hair, regardless of color or texture. While hairstyles and coloring can be very subjective, length and a healthy, clean look are universal.
these videos are so interesting! I find them helpful. As a 29yr old Black American woman, my objective in following this channel is to learn how to be as attractive as possible lol... sounds odd, but is very effective! In my observation, hair weaves never look as healthy/natural as natural hair because theyre too dense and the textures arent natural. Personally, I think I look most beautiful when my natural hair is glossy/moisturized and the thin parts of my hairline are lightly enhanced to appear thicker. I have a widows peak, which is quirky and unique, so i try to embrace it and part accordingly. My profile picture is about 5yrs old when I moved to NYC and began experimenting with half-wigs, which gave me the option to increase the length of my hair while maintaining a natural hairline... the issue with these is the volume though- its just too much hair! Naturally, the hair on my head is THICK! I have a lot of hairs per inch... and so does my Italian/Polish boyfriend- his hair is dense, and even he remarks that I have a LOT of natural hair... although I happen to know that he prefers the ringlets of type 3 hair of latinas. His mom and sister have densely thick wavy medium-length European hair... tbh, I believe he subconsciously knows that our kids would have the hair he finds most attractive, and this is interesting to me! I mean, obviously we date who we date because we love them, like them, are attracted to them, whatever, but scientifically, there are reasons WHY we like what we like
this is the scientific part of what I love about watching Rare Lee's facial and hair commentary
This chanel makes me feels better about my looks, even though i do not fit the scientific or societal beauty standards. But just learning about the scientific reasons these standards exists just makes me happy with myself for some reason, idk how to explain it
I study bio and this channel is justttt soo good. I love the jargon and sci literature being used and shown.
I am pretty average, but bro my hair really is a deal maker, pretty long, brown, healthy hair and good hairline, i mean god had to be merciful as he created
Where I'm from most women wear their hair straight even if it's curly or wavy and curl it with curling irons occasionally so wearing your hair naturally wavy or curly every day stands out
I used to routinely wear my hair super short, but as I enter my 50s I look better with longer hair that frames my face. Facial changes I think.
It's taken me so many years of trial and error to make my hair manageable. It's fine, wavy, frizzy and extremely dry. I have found that using a mild shampoo on the roots only once a week is the only thing that works for my hair and to wash the lengths with water only. I use a leave in cream conditioner and serum on the lengths because even water seems to make my hair a little dry after washing. Then I use a small amount of hair gel and I brush my hair with a paddle brush and scrunch it a little. My natural wave pattern forms and I can use a paddle brush a few times that day and it doesn't disrupt it, it simply just untangles my hair. I probably brush my hair 2-3 times a day. I get highlights once a year and that's the only time my hair sees an all over conditioner and shampoo. I don't have to deal with build up because it seems that water just washes the products I use away. For the first time in my life I have smooth shiny hair with attractive waves that is manageable and not breaking off and not frizzy. I tried the wavy girl method and it made my hair have the texture of dry vermicelli. It was also ridiculously tangled because I was told not to brush my hair and use a wide tooth comb. A paddle brush with lots of bristles seems to work the best on my hair which goes against all the commonly held knowledge of wavy hair. Nothing that has claimed to have all the answers has ever worked for me. I have had to find my own method.
I love curly hair! I have big curls / wavy hair. Very lucky because it always looks styled.
personally, i feel like longer hair would suit me bc my eyebrows are short, so it makes my forehead look bigger than it actually is. but with shrinkage, most afro hair appears shorter than it really is. so even at mid back length, it's still "short" 🙁 i guess i'm growing my hair to thigh-length.
Get locs they will change your life
@@kee7374 i'm thinking about it 😩 it's a very big change.
You need to get a blunt cut to where it's longer on the top & shorter on the bottom. This will give you more hangtime & make your hair appear longer. I also blow my hair out & then style. Wet setting the hair will make the shrinkage worse. No heat damage as a blow dryer only gets to 150 degrees on low.
despite the lack of research, i appreciate the attention paid to the racial and cultural facet of this topic ✨
I wonder what role hair color plays in beauty from unnatural colors and highlights
For some reason pink hair looks natural to me. I think it’s because we have pink lips and cheeks so the pink is kind of an analogue to the skin. I like the pastel pink color on girls. Or even peachy .
@@dantan1249 maybe because its a color close to auburn hair, red hair and strawberry blonde
As a guy, womans natural hair color is almost always the best. anything that looks unnatural is bad except highlights or colors that look mostly natural and fit with the natural color and hair texture. if you have dark blonde hair, a lighter color or lighter highlights on top look great to me, but I wouldnt like it on a woman with brown or black hair. for darker hair things like silver highlights would still look great to me, but its the only exception. if its an artificial color, it shouldnt look unnaturally uniform, it needs to fit your ethnicity or other facial features like eyes and eyebrows and resemble a naturally existing color.
getting my haircut tomorrow so this is perfect timing
I would like a discussion about curly hair in white women, and the rate of attractiveness. Thanks 😊
Hi I'm an African American male, and I can't speak for other races of men, or even other men of my own race, but personally EVERY white woman I've seen with curly hair l was very attracted to because it's unique on them. 😁
Anyway since this is the 3rd video he's done on hair, I already know what his answer is going to be. On women with an attractive face it's not going to matter, whereas it will be a boost for women that are not attractive.... Oh and it has to be long and curly. From all the videos it appears length matters more than style or texture.
@@333angeleyes awww. What a beautiful comment. 😊. Have a great day!
@@333angeleyes I'm a bi girl and I have to agree even tho I'm mixed and have 3b hair it definitely suits white girls too.
@@adettessubs444 ❤️😊
I assume you’re Italian from your name. I’m Nigerian Italian and I’ve always found Italian women and men with curly hair much more attractive than the ones with straight hair. Maybe I’m biased but I do think that white people with curly hair stand out a lot and kinda makes them look more “exotic” and approachable.
Interesting video! I'm curious about the history of hair straightening in East Asia. While naturally straight hair is pretty common among Asians, wavy or 'frizzy' hair is not uncommon at all. Sometimes too, Asian women with naturally straight but not 'flat hair' (hair that appears 'wide') will use a straightening iron to make the hair sit flat. Japan even invented one of the most successful hair straightening methods in the world.
Thanks to QOVES, now i am slowly accepting how ugly i am through their scientific studies.
In India having a large forehead is considered to be great thing bcz it brings Luck, money and prosperity ... !!!
Haha... My forehead is so big that a helicopter can land on it😂😂 but I look avg.
@@thedentico lmao what XDD
@@thedentico More than looks even in Face-reading a large forehead is considered to be the best feature.... Goraz don't know about these things! 🙂 Turn into forehead into a helipad and charge rent for it 😂
@Twinfalme Union I hope I have a good future. Till now, the only thing I am doing to myself is 'disappointing'. (Trying hard to do better)
@@thedentico I think the technical term for that is a fivehead.
I think it also matters if you are a white person with natural curls or a black person with natural curls or even coils.
I suffer from hairloss since I was a little girl and it has always made me feel like a monster although I think I have a pretty face and body. Hair is very important.
POV: you have afro
Afro has beauty of its own.too bad i cant pull one 😔
bruh, eeveryone who pulls an afro always rocks it better than i do, had dreadlocks once, relaxed my hairs once too
Me who literally just switched to twists 👁️👁️
I am a person of color, gay man in my mid-20s, with plain hair for most of all my life. I started going to the salon to have my hair curled when I was 23. I'm 26 now. And my curly hair is now touching my shoulder. This hair gave me confidence. And it elevated my look. I started getting second looks, wholesome compliments from men and women. I think I will forever stick to curly hair. Sure, most days it's hard to tame. But on good days, I look charming AF, this is me just being genuinely confident.
Fleabag is right--hair is everything.
I have a beautiful face, even at the age of 41. So, of course I also have thin, straight hair. I keep it short for volume. & It works.
Love this episode. It felt like I could use the information to my advantage. As hair is something we have some control over in terms of appearances
It would be interesting to do a derivative of this study on part placement. If symmetry is ideal for biological beauty, why do many people look better with their hair parted to one side or the other rather than in the centre? Does the location of the hair-part have an influence on how we perceive the balance between facial proportions in asymmetrical faces?
Do you also have a video on men's hair? I think its interesting that long hair has been coined "feminine ". Could we delve into this more?
I love this channel
The ideal hairstyle for black women in the workplace is a low ponytail n out of the workplace is a twist out
I'am so annoyed of Attraction and the pressure of Attraction..Just be Happy, Just be free
Finally: HONESTY!!! I love it! ❤️
Thumbs up for you. I always appreciate the scientific approach. It offers a nice contrast to my layman view of beauty… a lottery that some win, and some don’t win.
I was waiting for this forever ♾️
Just when I thought I couldn’t overthink things more than I already do. 🤯
I straightened my loose curls to death in middle and high school. Thinking back on that makes me laugh, my 2c-3a hair just looks so much better on my face.
I`ve had both short (bob) and long hair in college years and paid attention to how I was perceived. The number of people who manifested some kind of attraction to me with short hair when compared to long was around 1/3! Even though I supposedly can pull off the short.
In Brihat Samhita, the preferred hair density for men and women in ancient India was very wiry hair since it showed intellect and the sindoor (red vermillion) showed more in ones head. Natural selection in Ancient India might breed the same hair regimes in Indian populations today, with a larger forehead and more wiry hair becoming more prominent.
Where my curly hair people at 👨🦱?
This is so cool! Can you please do a celebrity facial analysis of Bill Skarsgard?
I grew up in Sydney in the 70's and natural African hair was considered a beauty standard, just look at how Freda Payne appeared in the public eye then and she was indicative of how popular this style was. Women would perm their hair to get the closest look to that they could.
i like your videos very much i hope you do more of analyzing celebrity faces
Oh my! The photo of the young lady from (probably) 100 years ago, I remember a picture of my mother-in-law's mom - same sideview pose with hair down and hanging over the shoulder. I guess that was a typical pose back then. Women wore their hair in a bun but whoever knew it was that long ? What an interesting memory!
Interesting video although I absolutely disagree with the statement that we look better with our natural hair.. this is simply not true. Some faces and body types can pull off hair that does or look as tidy.. others look much better with super sleek tidy hair. Alyona from the channel Aly Art talks about this and presents a great explanation depending on Kibbe Types.. and she’s absolutely spot on with her analysis. This also depends on the colouration of skin, eyes and hair, structure, build and essence of the body. I also know this from personal experience.. I know do not look my best in my own natural hair colour and texture however I have learned to understand what looks good on me and what does not.
I always style my hair so half my Face is covered and I think I look so much better that way
Me: *has frizzy, unmanageable wavy hair, has tried everything, and is too poor to afford fancy hair products*
Guess I’ll just be ugly then :/
🙄
this might seem strange but i watch a lot of your videos for character design when i draw lol
ah i really wish there was more info on curly hair
