15 Hairstyles Guys Love ...

The hairstyles we love and the hairstyles guys love can sometimes be worlds apart — just ask your guy friends for their opinions on Michelle Williams’ signature blonde pixie cut, the one we girls all love. Their reactions will run the gamut, but there are a few hairstyles guys love, almost unanimously. What are these guy-approved hairstyles, you ask? Keep reading! Here are 7 hairstyles guys love… which of them will you try?

1 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.

2 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.

3 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!

4 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!

Jeff Big Sexy Hair is exactly the opposite of the truth...

5 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…

6 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.

7 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!

8 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?

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!

10 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.

11 Boho Braids

With the explosion of braids into the world, boho braids, where you just braid the front of the hair is absolutely one of the best braids out there. It's chic, it's cute and it'll drive your guy wild!

12 Natural Texture

hair,eyebrow,face,person,black hair, It may seem surprising, but guys like when you torture your hair less. Show off your natural girls! While other girls are straightening their hair or curling their hair trying to look like you, you have the natural look. Embrace yourself, guys will like that your confident in who you are.

13 Bangs

hair,clothing,hairstyle,beauty,long hair, This is one hairstyle that my boyfriend is always telling me he loves. I personally don't like bangs on myself so I don't get them, but there are definitely people out there that can pull off bangs. If you can pull them off, guys will notice.

14 Messy Bob

hair,human hair color,face,blond,hairstyle, This is a great way to show off your neck and shoulders. There are definitely guys out there that would love more access to your neck! Of course some face shapes look better with a bob than others, so always think of yourself first.

15 Pixie Cut

hair,face,hairstyle,eyebrow,beauty, A lot of guys don't like a pixie cut, but the ones that do really love it. Why is this? It takes a confident girl to chop all of her hair off. This is a great way to show off your confidence, which is something that guys find sexy.

The bottom line, of course, is that we can do whatever we want with our hair… we don’t need anyone’s permission or approval to wear our hair how we want! But if you’re looking for a style that you know your guys will love, why not try one of these guy-approved hairstyles, at least for date night… it might be your favorite, too! Which of these do you think your guys will like best, or does he have another hairstyle he likes more?

- Milky @QueenB: oh no! 👎🏼 I could not have a ponytail with bumps 😢🫣
FashionQueen I am always looking for new styles to try for my guy. This will really help. I used to have really long thick hair, but then i cut it to about shoulder length. These styles will work so well.
- Milky @FashionQueen: aww ☺️ same! I like this boy at high school and he seems to like the hairstyles that I do . I think your guy will like them x
CrazyGirl Side cornrows...
Jesse I have hair that goes almost to my ankles so I rarely leave it hanging loose. So I'm always looking for a cute chic style for LONG thick wavy hair :-/ any tips
- Milky @Jesse: tips; 1. Don’t wash it every day. Every other day. 2. Trim the tips every moth or two. 3. Let wet hair dry naturally.
MedeaYCirceVolcaloid I'm Chinese, and I recently cut my hair short. Do you guys think I should let my hair grow out so I can do the Hatsune Miku twin tails?
Jasmine Is everyone else missing the end of each paragraph...and on so many articles??
- Neecey @Jasmine Jordan, There's an app update available
Arielle Love that ♡

Stephanie my best friend has amazing hair. it's perfect curls all the time and it's a fiery orange. So amazing lol. I can never just leave my hair as is lol
Arnyah I've got long straight hair, I love it to the max I also love my hair curly too. I always put it in two pigtails because I love it like that. I might add glasses to give it the 'vintage sexy look'
Yama Great post but am with the bald heads. Wonder where we are on the list 😃

Kelly CURLY HAIR ROCKZ
Diana 😇😇
Patricia Curly is the sexiest in my opinion
Nidia I've got curly long hair and I love it!
Raven It's kind of unfair because it's excluding those with different textures and also different types of hair that belong to other ethnicities
Raven I notice there aren't any that involve real curly hair
Alex Whats the name of that specific boho braid
Alaina This makes curly haired girls feel so awful. I have hair that is almost an afro. It wont straighten, and articles like this make me so depressed. Thanks so much.
- Victoria @Alaina Are you serious? Why would you let an article make you feel depressed? She didn't intend to offend anyone alright, and this isn't based on every guy breathing on this earth. There are guys who like curly hair. I also have curly hair and no, it doesn't make me feel awful. Learn to embrace what your given instead of being ashamed of who you are. I've seen hair like yours and its beautiful, so realize that just because your hair type isn't in an article doesn't mean your hair is less attractive than anyone else's.
Cassidy Love this <3
KelsiZ 6 7 8 11 noooo
Omaimaa What about curly hair?
Taylor I love having short hair. I have a short curly jaw length bob and I love it :) Guys have told me that I should grow it out but I hate having long hair :P Short hair is sassy and fun!
Jenny I myself love the wavy look and layered with bangs because I have thin hair. Creates lots of body. :)
Jenny I've had guy friends tell me to cut my hair short because they love to see a woman's neck and jaw line and that it shows confidence and others tell me they hate short hair and to grow it out. Everyone is completely different. It also really depends on your facial structure and if your hair is thin or think, wavy or curly, damaged or not, etc. In the end, do what you wanna do. Hair grows back, "experiment" is my motto!
Srsj :sticker_laughing:
Lystra I wear my hair in bun because I feel more comfortable and also feel relaxing too which why I feel more the truer self
Erica I can't see the pic 😢
Verraz Messy
Lover3000 Umm fizzy

- Denise Hi Taylor. Try refreshing the post. if you've done that, you might want to log out/log in again. Let me know if that fixes the problem. :)
Aleksandr Red hair is best
Micki No curly hair....hmmm
- Lisa @Micki Shay I know right?
Elizabeth didn't mean to comment that whoops! ^^^
Elizabeth :sticker_ew:
Veronica I have seen on QVC where thy have that foam spray where it makes your hair more fluffy. Every time I try to order it, it sells quickly. I want to find another way to make my hair more bigger. Any ideas?
- Lisa @Veronica Michelsen Any drugstore or salon have hair thickening sprays. I can't recommend any brand for you because I have very thick, course, curly hair but I wanted to try & help since nobody else has replied you yet!! You'll have to just try different ones or ask the sales clerk which one seems to sell more!
Madison I am growing my hair out on the one side, but this July I'm cutting my hair into a pixie cut! My boyfriend says he prefers short hair on me and I do too, so it's a win win situation! :D
mike I love a pony tail, on all ladies.Also stright is beautiful too.I'm a older gentleman 50,s
Taurus If you want a pic of the pony tail, Ana Kournikova got it right. Like Jeff says, the pic here is too high.
Jeff #4 Big Sexy Hair is exactly the opposite of the truth. I heard a report of a survey of men's preferences, which agreed with my preference, which is long, flat, and straight, like a go-go girl or hippie girl. That style is common among young girls, especially college age, but when they get older, for whatever reason, they stop wearing their hair that way. Maybe they mistakenly think it is not attractive on an older face. Big hair is strictly an alpha female power play for other women. The photos of the pony tail and pig tails were way too high on top of the head. They are NOT attractive that way. Very short hair, like a pixie cut, but not like the high-volume hair style in the photo, is good if you have exceptional facial features to show off. Likewise, dark hair is best on a girl with a perfect face, while light hair softens an imperfect face. No one looks best in medium-length hair.
- Lyndsie Hi Jeff. Welcome to All Women Stalk and thanks for sharing your preferences, but there's no hard and fast rule about big hair, blonde hair, or hair length, it all comes down to what a woman likes best. :)
Isabelle Went through some of these with my boyfriend and he says deinitely the down hair styles...but to be honest what mature woman wears pigtails? : /
- Lisa @Isabelle Nicolle Im 40 years old & although I don't wear them out to work or somewhere that a more mature look is necessary, I do sometimes wear pigtails for my husband. I wore them on our honeymoon actually! They can be fun😉
- Lyndsie Hey Isabelle, thanks for reading AWS! Actually, I've seen plenty of mature women wear two ponytails or braids, and they look amazing. It's a hairstyle that has its own special time, place, and technique, absolutely, but I don't think it means that a woman isn't mature or sure of herself. :)
YounEs great one!
- Lyndsie Thanks so much, we're so glad you liked it!
Shannon thanks for the pictures :)
Anonymous I'd love this article if it had pictures :(
- Lyndsie Take another look, there are pictures! :D
Sara Your articles would be better with pics in them
- Lyndsie Hey Sara, thanks for your comment and for reading All Women Stalk. Our picture editors are constantly working hard to find the best images to add to posts -- and, as you can see, this one has some beauties! :)
Shannon i would love pictures
- Lyndsie Hey Shannon! Ask and ye shall receive! :D
May I think every guy love women who have pretty face. The hair that look great depends on faces.
Kelsey Photos! Every article, no matter what it is, is made significantly better with photos!
- Lyndsie Hey there Kelsey, thanks for your comment. Generally, if you just wait a bit, every post gets fabulous pictures -- like this one! Our photo editors spend lots of time looking for the perfect images, and get them up as soon as they can. :)
Xiaoci The article will be more attracting if the pictures are attached ;)
- Lisa @Xiaoci Zhao Mine had a photo example for each hairstyle.
Simone Haha Bailey, that's exactly what I thought!
- Simi @Simone Graves, :) yep we are good to go with any :)
Camila I believe I've tried all of these except the last one. Anyways, regarding the boho long and loose, my hair curler is old and sucks (way overdue for buying a new one!) so I usually just take a shower the night before, scrunch my hair with moose and hairspray, and braid it. I don't forget the salt water spray. May be overkill, but it works, so I touch it up in the morning.
- Jelena Great job, Camila! I actually prefer heatless beachy waves! Relaxed, sexy and just a tad bit undone... I've never been able to do that with a curler...they just come out looking too polished and too perfect.
Bailey So basically everything? :p
- Heather Ha! It seems that way doesn't it? ;) Thanks for stopping by Bailey! BTW -- love your name!
