Men say women with long hair more attractive

Mr Uche Emmanuel, 41, told this media that the lengthy ones are what attracts him, adding that he preferred the natural one.

“It could be wavy, straight or curly; it doesn’t matter, as far as it’s long.

“I prefer it natural because I can run my fingers through it; I tell my wife to leave her hair loose,” he said.

He, however, noted that the natural, kinky hair also looked good on some women.

Another man, Mr Vincent Eyo, a businessman, said he liked women with long hair but not artificial ones such as weaves and wigs.

“Just imagine that you see your woman wearing a style today in black, you may be shocked to see her tomorrow wearing a different style with a different colour.

“I find it very irritating. Why can’t women be real? They don’t always have to do something because others are doing it.

“Those men who like the natural look will definitely go for them,” he said.

Hairs

Also, Anthony Ekeze, 34, a Banker said though he liked women with long hair, he preferred them in plaits or braids.

Ekeze urged women not to get carried away with fashion trends or try to look like someone else but to ensure that whatever hairstyle they decide on was what suits them.

He said: “I like styles like ‘Ghana Weaving’ (a type of hairstyle, plaited like cornrows, made with attachments). But I believe everyone needs to know what fits them.

“Many women want to do what others are doing, without knowing how they will look like with it.”

Ikechukwu Ibegbuna, 35, a Software Engineer, however said he preferred women with short curly hair.

“I’m comfortable with anything that looks good on a woman but short, curly hair does it for me.

“I find women who wear the natural, afro look quite attractive,” he said.
