10 Things Your Hair Says About You, According to Research

Scientific research has shown that:

• We can’t be sure if blondes have more fun but they do make more money, raise more money and gentlemen do prefer them.

• Being well-groomed is correlated with better grades.

• Good grooming is associated with higher wages for men but not women. And if you’re ugly and underpaid, guys, definitely shave.

• Women who remove their pubic hair have better sexual function.

• A number of factors go in to whether a girl is attracted to men with hairy chests.

• Dyeing your hair does make you feel younger and looking young helps you stay young.

• Men are more likely to date women with the same hair color as their mother.

• Beards = sociable, mustaches = introverted, and stubble wins in both the smart and social categories.

• Redheads are seen as dumber than blondes. Women with dyed hair or short hair are seen as extroverted.

• Bald men are perceived as intelligent and shaving your head makes you look tougher.
