The folks at Pantene polled a whole mess of men to find out what exactly it is they notice (and love!) about a woman's hair. Here's what they found... 74% of men indicated that they notice women because of their hair and 44% of men surveyed said that hair is the first thing they notice about a woman, more than her clothes (26%), legs (25%), or makeup (4%). Most men surveyed would be more likely to approach a woman at a bar with great hair than a woman wearing a low-cut shirt. 82% of men indicated that sexy hair is a key element to a woman's overall sex appeal. 60% of men surveyed say they would rather date a woman with great hair than a woman with big breasts.

And 78% of men surveyed consider healthy hair to be a turn-on.

Now, the first thing that strikes me is that men are obviously drawn to hair that's shiny and healthy--and that makes complete sense. But this is what Steve Ward of VH1's Tough Love (whom the company hired to come and chat with us about these findings) had to say about the results: "A good first impression goes the distance and these survey results reveal you don't always have to go for the most revealing look on the first date. Instead of struggling to decide what outfit to wear, it may be a good idea to start to rethink your hairstyle. Hair that is healthy and well-kept immediately signals to a man that you are responsible, classy, attentive, and take pride in your appearance and these are all characteristics that men look for in women." Oh, and he called me out in a room full of people for tucking my hair behind my ear while he was talking--a move he said is a man magnet for a guy who was already noticing my waves.

Can hugging someone make them love you?

Hugging causes the brain to release oxytocin, the hormone that increases human bonding. Here's why it's so important. The oxytocin released by hugging increases trust, loyalty and feelings of closeness, which is why physical contact in relationships is so important.

Hugging causes the brain to release oxytocin, the hormone that increases human bonding. Here’s why it’s so important. The oxytocin released by hugging increases trust, loyalty and feelings of closeness, which is why physical contact in relationships is so important. Oxytocin induces a calm happy feeling, enhances feelings of optimism and self-esteem, and reduces stress by decreasing cortisol, the stress hormone. As if that wasn’t enough, a rise in oxytocin levels can also relieve aches and cramps. It’s no wonder then, that when someone we love is going through it – partners, kids, family, friends – our instinct is to wrap our arms around them. Oxytocin has a remarkable effect on the brain, quieting background noise and allowing people to tune in to each other, boosting bonding and feelings of attraction between partners. Now, nobody is suggesting a hug-fest with strangers to love up the world but when it comes to the people you love, hold them close … and then release because, you know, life with a hugger attached may or may not get a bit knotty.
