Statistical Proof That Guys Like Hair That Reminds Them of Their Moms

In the age of Tinder and Instagram, one photo could be the difference between meeting your soul mate and being utterly rejected. What does your profile image (and, more importantly, your hair) say to your potential dates? Match and Wella Professionals have teamed up to give us some authentic statistics for your next first date.

As it turns out, 48 percent of single men think women wearing an updo are down-to-earth (yes, you're going to need more bobby pins). Southern gentlemen especially like a woman to show off her face with an upswept style. Dudes dating in the Northeast prefer sporty braids - not that men understand how complicated a fishtail plait is to create. With the help of Soroya Lowman at KeratinBar in NYC, we created the perfect date-night hairstyle, which will only take you about 20 minutes to pull together. This twisted updo will send all the right messages: I'm a laid-back girl who loves to do SoulCycle on Saturdays!
