Boho Long and Loose

Boho Long and Loose Every single guy I know, when asked, listed this as his very first choice as a guy-approved hairstyle. They love to see long, flowing, wavy hair on a woman, not overly styled and touchably soft. If you already have wavy hair, marvelous! If not, use a big curling iron or extra-large rollers to get the waves, then finger-comb upside down, spritz with a light-hold hairspray, and go.

UPD:

Men seem to be captivated by the effortlessly chic vibe that boho waves exude, often associating it with an approachable and laid-back personality. Achieving the look doesn't require pinpoint precision—perfection is not the goal. It’s all about embodying that free-spirited, carefree attitude. Embrace your hair's natural texture, let it breathe, and revel in its imperfections. After all, it's the little quirks in the waves that add character and make the style uniquely yours. Whether it's a casual day out or a romantic evening, this uncomplicated elegance never fails to strike a chord.

Sporty Ponytail

Sporty Ponytail I never thought guys would love our favorite lazy-day look, but apparently, lots of guys love sporty high ponytails! Bend at the waist and scrape all of your hair into a high ponytail, secure with an elastic, then arrange your bangs (if you have them), spray with a high-hold hairspray, and you’re ready for a day in yoga pants and sneakers. Skip the heavy make-up, which would look at odds with your sporty, guy-approved hairstyle.

UPD:

Men seem to have a thing for the effortlessly chic look of a high ponytail that exudes both simplicity and energy. It's likely the association with an active lifestyle that catches their attention, conjuring images of vibrant and health-conscious women. Plus, the practicality of this style, keeping hair tidy and out of the face, suggests a no-fuss attitude that many find attractive. Pair this easy-to-master hairstyle with a casual, laid-back outfit, and it's as if you're sending an open invitation to fun and adventure—something that's just hard to resist.

Librarian Updo

Librarian Updo I don’t think I’ve ever met a man who didn’t have the Sexy Librarian fantasy. Rock it for your man with a low bun, one held in place by just a couple of pins or clips. Wear a pencil skirt, button down blouse, and your favorite specs… he’ll love it!

UPD:

The low bun should sit at the nape of your neck, exuding a sense of charm and sophistication that's undeniably irresistible. Let a few strands whimsically escape to frame your face for that effortlessly chic touch. Remember, it's all in the subtle details—the way your glasses perch on your nose or how the soft fabric of your blouse hints at the curves beneath. Execute this look with confidence, and watch as you become the embodiment of the sultry intellect that captures not just the imagination but the heart.

Big Sexy Hair

Big Sexy Hair We already knew this one, didn’t we? Guys love big sexy hair, especially when you wear it with smokey eyes and a come-hither look. Let your hair air dry, apply mousse, blow-dry upside down, tease a little, then spray with an all-over hold hairspray. Wow!

5

Face-framing Layers

Face-framing Layers Whether your hair is long or short, another hairstyle guys love is face-framing layers. They work for nearly every hair type and length, so why not ask your stylist to add a few at your next trim? Your guy will be tempted to brush your hair back from your face every time he sees you…

Pigtails

Pigtails Think cheerleader… what guy doesn’t love a cheerleader? Hold them in place with an elastic on each side, and decorate with a length of ribbon for extra cheerleader-inspired cuteness. I’ve even managed to wear them to the office, little nubs when I had a bob. All of my male co-workers commented on them.

UPD:

Pigtails have that whimsical charm that brings a playful vibe to any outfit—whether it's a casual day out or even a more formal office setting. Twisting the pigtails into braids can give them an adult upgrade, and don't shy away from experimenting with different positions—high, low, or even off to the side for an asymmetrical twist. They’re not only cute; they also have a certain je ne sais quoi that hints at youthfulness while still being entirely work-appropriate. Remember, it's all about finding the right balance to keep it both appropriate and adorably flirty.

Short and Saucy

Short and Saucy While the overwhelming majority of my guy friends said they think short hair isn’t their favorite style on a woman, there were a few who said they loved it on the right girl. If you have thin hair, a short style is a great idea, and you’ll still be able to rock a style your guy will love. Try a pixie cut!

UPD:

While opinions vary, certain men find a pixie cut absolutely alluring because it accentuates feminine features like the neck and jawline. It's a bold move that exudes confidence and can be a real head-turner. Not to mention, it's super easy to manage and perfect for those who prefer a low maintenance routine. If you're thinking of going short, consider your face shape and talk to your stylist about the best variation for you. A touch of sass with your subtle locks might just be the game-changer you need.

8

Angled Bob

Angled Bob Bobs are a hairstyle that every single guy in the world loves! You can do a bob with medium length hair and short hair and the angled bob is one of the most popular! Why not give it a try?

UPD:

The angled bob is chic, edgy, and infinitely versatile, making it the perfect choice for women who want to make a statement without going too drastic. Its descending lines from the back to the front frame the face beautifully and can be easily tailored to suit any face shape. Whether sleek and smooth or tousled and textured, this hairstyle exudes sophistication and style. If you're daring, add some subtle highlights to enhance the angles. It's a guaranteed head-turner that men find irresistible and sophisticated.

9

Straight & Sexy

Straight & Sexy This is a look that is all about ditching the curls and really going with something super straight, super shiny and super chic. Straight hair is so, so pretty and if you are dying to show your guy something sophisticated, try your hair straight!

UPD:

For that razor-sharp edge, break out your trusty flat iron and a heat protectant to keep those locks healthy and gleaming. A dab of smoothing serum will add the ultimate touch of gloss, making your strands absolutely irresistible. This style doesn't just scream confidence—it whispers sophistication in every strand. And when you want that powerful-yet-understated allure on a night out or at a formal event, straight hair proves timelessly trendy. Just remember to keep it sleek, and you'll turn heads with your elegant, streamlined silhouette.

Beachy Waves If straight hair isn't your thing, don't worry! Guys love the textured hair too! Beachy waves are some of the best hairstyles for guys and they can be really easy to pull off too.

Whether you're going for loose, tumble-out-of-bed waves or more defined, piece-y tendrils, this hairstyle is sure to catch his attention. Just a bit of sea salt spray or a light mousse, and you're good to flaunt those sultry waves. A flip of your hair, and you'll practically hear the ocean waves crashing in admiration!

UPD:

Bangs have a certain je ne sais quoi that can really accentuate the eyes and frame the face. They come in a variety of styles, from side-swept to blunt cuts, each with their own flair. If you're bold enough to sport them, you might find yourself swimming in compliments. Bangs can be high-maintenance, as they require regular trims to keep them looking pristine.
