A new study finds that men are more attracted to women with long, healthy locks than their shorter-cropped counterparts. Join us as we untangle the science of it all.
“Baby, let your hair down, let me run my fingers through it,” MAGIC! sang in 2014. And sure, the idea of touching lengthy, soft locks is erotic for many, but what are the short-haired shorties supposed to do? Do men not equally enjoy running their digits through those gals’ just-as-lovely tresses?
Sorry, ladies of the close-cropped persuasion—according to a new study from South Korea, straight men are more sexually attracted to women with long, healthy manes. The longer, the lustier. The healthier, the hornier. And several men we spoke to about the topic agree.
“I prefer women with long hair. I find them more feminine,” an anonymous lawyer tells HUSTLERMagazine.com. “My first crushes were the ’90s supermodels like Cindy Crawford. Really thick, full hair turns me on, because I imagine pulling it hard when I’m fucking from behind.”

The researchers, led by Jeong Eun Cheon, conducted an online study involving 204 heterosexual married couples, and the results revealed that wives with long, healthy hair boinked way more than shorter-coiffed Sheilas.
“[Long, healthy hair] heightened their husbands’ perception of their attractiveness and, consequently, intensified their husbands’ sexual desire toward them,” the team stated in an article published in Evolutionary Psychology. The researchers added that the results indicated women’s hair sent evolutionary messages to men about fertility and sexiness, but men’s hair did not have the same effect.
