I was reading this (http://www.divinecaroline.com/article/24138/41884-curly-vs--straight--which-do) article, and the question came to me. I personally prefer curly hair, although I could go either way, just depending on the person.

So what about you? Do you prefer straight or curly hair on your partner?

Provided they have hair longer than I do, hair is usually one of the last things I look at;)

I prefer, curly one side, straight on the other, a split in the middle. Then a few spikes, and a racehorse for effect.
Meh, don't care either's good.

Any hair is good compared to my wavy, greasy double crown; I can't really complain about anybody else's.

Curly hair in girls is almost always preferable for me. For you... I don't know.

I wish I had curly hair... :(

As it is, my hair is long and poker-straight. However, every time I mention curling it to my boyfriend (or when I mentioned it to the guy I briefly dated), he is rather enthusiastically opposed to the idea. Same with cutting it... or dying... or altering it in any way. Maybe I just have amazing hair? :p He's really protective of it.

Edit: in a partner, I don't really care... the only time I'll ever be attracted to guys with slightly longer hair is if it's black and curly, though. (Think Italian/Greek kinda thing.) Otherwise, it's gotta be short... curly or straight, doesn't really matter.

And I wish I didn't.

Whenever my hair starts to get long, it gets extremely curly, and ladies always fawn over how "cute" it is and how they wish they had my curls. It's enough to make a fellow vomit.

I have curly hair so I must keep it short so I don't look like I listen to My Chemical Romance :mad:

on women I guess I will go straight though its more to do with style (and the lack of what you can do with curly)

Provided they have hair longer than I do

now this is where I disagree I just find long hair annoying and dull

Straight hair that will curl slightly, but I'm balding. So your poll should have been multiple choice.

EDIT: Guess who didn't read the OP.....

When my boy's hair starts getting long, it gets curly... but in a crazy, somewhat frizzy, uncontrollable kind of way. Thus, I am constantly telling him to get his hair cut. :p

I do admit that some boys have these adorable, little-kid kind of curls that make me want to pinch their cheeks more than anything.

That makes for one rather interesting mental picture

I don't care whether my partner's hair is curly or straight.

For those who want to know, my hair is curly. ;)

That's what i aim for. Interesting pictures, besides my hair style is not that good, so i doubt i'm in a position to go "hur hur, your hair is rubbisth".
Mind you i heard one guy spend £300 on a hair do, i mean £300! takes the Michael, James and Thomas!

As long as it's long enough for me to tangle my fingers in on occasion, I don't care.

I picked 'straight', though curly can be nice, too.
As long as it's not wavy.

I could go either way, just depending on the person.I knew it!

I love wavy hair on boys.

As for girls, I follow the universal rule - I have straight hair, so I envy people with curly hair. (And all the girls with curly hair envy me right back, so it all works out.) :p

I have wavy hair, neither straight nor curly. I dislike curly hair in a partner.

Head-hair, right?

Red curly, all others straight.

my husband has curly hair, but only when he lets it grow out long, like longer than shoulder length long, and it's ringlets at the ends.....so I don't let him grow it out anymore.

I have straight hair, it won't hold a curl without serious chemical intervention, and then, it won't stay for long.

I suppose I don't really care, other than I don't like the ringlets... on my boy.

Same. I like nice hair. I prefer straight hair. However, red hair looks quite good curly.

Hmmm...

Although it usually depends, I'll definately go with curly.

I go for straight, I think it's because my mother & two sisters have very curly hair.

It all depends on the head and body it's on. One hairstyle that's suitable for one isn't always suitable for the next.

I have wavy hair, myself, and I have a soft spot for Germanic/Scandinavian women who have very fair skin and light, wavy hair... Like myself (though my hair's darkened considerably over the years from its original platinum blonde).

*snip*

That's what mine's like. When it's short, it's straight. When I grow it long, it becomes all curly & ringlety.

Now that I think about it, I've never even *crushed* on someone with straight hair... Everyone I've dated has had curly hair, or the whole "bedhead" thing going. So, for both guys and gals: curly or bedhead preferably, waves nice, straight, not so much.

Just to let you know, this isn't the law of opposites, I have really weird fine hair, that curls when short, straightens when brushed, and is partly curly, partly wavy and all bedhead (the one factor that never changes is that my hair is always messy)...

I would have to say curly hair. Straight hair is greatly overrated IMO.

I love beautiful hair but I don't care if it's curly or straight. I don't think I like straight straight hair because I often find it quite boring, but there are many things you can do with straight hair to make it less boring.

Given the choice, straight hair all the way. But it's not that big an issue as long as it's well-taken-care-of, and hair that's not naturally curly often has all kinds of product in it that makes it feel greasy and unpleasant. (In case it isn't obvious, I'm looking at this from the perspective of a man who loves to play with his wife's hair.)

Honestly, though, hair isn't a federal issue for me. She could be bald and still be beautiful.

Hair: long or short, curly or straight, it doesn't matter so long as you have it.
Some people have funky-shaped heads that just should NOT be seen bald.

Now what turns me on... ahhhhh, it's eyes.....

Bald doesn't do it for me.

Is being bald really that bad? I wouldn't mind becoming bald with a large beard. Unfortunately neither is likely to happen when judging by my family-history.
