5 Attractive And Eye Catching Hairstyles For First Date

#1 Eye Catching Hairstyles For First Date: The Minimalist Approach

Women: Long, Straight, Sleek

Not everyone is a hairdresser or excels in taming tresses and creating amazing hairstyles, nor do they have the time or inclination to learn such skills. What they can do is plug in a hair straightener, let it heat up, and then turn the untameable waves and curls into a sleek straight, shiny commercial-like cascading waterfall of alluring beauty! 

If you have long hair or like to accessorise for effect, you can use a range of clips, combs, and hair adornments to pin back or section areas away from your face or use them to frame your face.

For Men: The Buzz Cut

There are not too many men who go wrong with a buzz cut. The military buzz cut with the right jawline can swoon hearts and catch many openly admiring eyes. The added advantage is that you literally have nothing to do but admire yourself and walk out the door.

For Women: The Classic Ponytail

Women with long hair know the pain of having a bad hair day. The days when you washed your hair the night before, and it wakes up with an attitude problem and unwillingness to be tamed. These are the days that the classic ponytail comes to the rescue. Far from being limited in style, the ponytail can be highly diverse and alter an appearance or outfit based on where on the head you set it. From high at the crown, low on the nape, or split into two and harking back to pigtail days in primary school, the ponytail can save a date and reverse a disaster.

For Men: Short Back And Sides

Personal grooming for men has taken a massive leap forward, and with the emergence of niche hipster barbers, the classic short back and sides have been given a makeover. Not every man has the jawline or desire to rock a buzz cut. A short back and sides is the progression to growing out hair yet keeping it easily maintained and manageable.

For Women: Braids And Plaits

Braids and plaits conjure up images of Swedish milkmaids and kinky Cosplay, but for those who have mastered the skill of braiding their own hair, braids can transform long hair into soft, sexy, neatly confined and highly decorative to the point of elaborate hair designs that catch the eye and attention of all who behold them. If you know you get nervous and start hair twirling or chewing on your hair, braids and plaits remove the ability to turn a great date into an awkward disaster. They can be softened with errant tendrils and wisps that sway gently in a soft breeze to create movement and reduce the severity.

For Men: Finger Length Surfer Boy

You have seen the likes of Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey Jr sporting the surfer boy style with short back and sides but finger-length hair on top that falls perfectly and invites a woman’s fingers to explore the carefree locks when they fall forward over the face and obscure her ability to stare into your eyes. If you look closely at her hands, you will see her fists clenched as she tries desperately to stop herself from reaching out to run her fingers through your surfer boy style.

For Women: Sophisticated Chignon 

When sophistication is called for, nothing beats the timeless elegance of a flawless chignon! They make the wearer look and feel like a million dollars and, surprisingly, don’t take a lot of practice to learn to do well yourself if you can’t spare the funds to have a stylist do it for you. If your date is on the fancy side, nothing beats this style, and you can see it frequently rocked by royalty and bluebloods the globe over. Some loose tendrils to frame the face and create a softer version, also inspiring intrigue in men.

For Men: Hipster Man Bun

They became famous the globe over when the hipsters started sculpting their beards and moustaches with a range of specially designed products exclusively for men, and the trend for male self-care and grooming took off like a rocket. Men with long hair fall into two distinct categories: Hipster or heavy metal grunge rocker. Most women will view a well-styled man bun as a sign of self-love that transfers to the man sporting it being open to loving others. 

The grunge rocker look tends to attract a very specific type of date, and most women seated across the table from a man sporting long, oily, knotty hair are not going to be impressed. If you have long man locks and look like Fabio, then you might get away with wearing it loose and flowing, but better safe than sorry on the first few dates.

For Women: Ringlets And Curls

We all want hair that is the opposite of what we have, and many women with curly hair have cried in despair and wished for long straight hair. Curls are enviable to women with straight hair. You can never get that fresh from-the-beach wavy look or rock the princess ringlets of the elegant, braided bun or cascade of waterfall ringlets trailing enticingly down their back. Ringlets and curls scream to have fingers delving into their luxurious depths and gently pulling them to see them bounce back like a coiled spring. Curls denote a playful nature and are naturally charming, wholesome, and enticing.

For Men: Own The Chrome Dome

Gentlemen, nature can be cruel, and when early baldness strikes, only one true self-action is needed. Own the chrome dome and rock it like a legend! Forget the combover or baseball cap. Women love a smooth bald head to caress while making love, and you get the added benefit of having your erogenous zones free of follicles that can suppress the full extent of an erotic caress to the base of the skull and nape. If you are not ready to go full-head bald, try a buzz cut and get used to that before you commit to owning your dome and loving it. FYI, some of the sexiest men in the movie business are natural chrome domes. Never let a lack of follicles erode your confidence!

Try A New Hairstyle

You want the ‘right’ look that matches your outfit and personality for a first date. You seek something that is neither too casual nor too formal. You have to feel comfortable and confident within yourself on a first date so that your energy is projected outwards. Even if you turn up to your date rocking naturally acquired dreadlocks through pure laziness and the hatred of a daily combing routine, if you are confident within, you will appear confident to others, and that is a highly desirable trait for both sexes when it comes to the dating and mating game. Don’t get worked up over finding the perfect hairdo or resorting to cancelling a date if your hair refuses to play ball. 

Hair stylists have amazing creational abilities, and if you allow them a little free hand to create, they often pull something magical out of the bag, and you are left to stare in awe and wonder at your stunning new look or image. Never be afraid to try something new and leave the safety of your day-to-day hair behind.

Create Hair Intrigue With An Irresistible Style

Intrigue is an elusive quality that captivates us about another person and is so bespoke it can never be given a definitive description. However, the use of chopsticks or knitting needles to secure a bun into place or brightly coloured strips of fake hair that clip onto your own hair can add an immediate impact and create intrigue, as can the various slides, combs, hairband, scrunchies, flowers, and jewellery all designed to be worn in the hair.

Women can use all of the above to create a statement piece or draw attention to them without resorting to garish leopard prints and skin-tight catsuits that leave nothing to the imagination. Having said that, a man sporting a man bun with a designer chopstick adorned with samurai swords or gold dragons dangling from one end would guarantee to be a showstopper and conversation starter. Who doesn’t want to be telling the story of how they met decades later, all thanks to that amazing hairstyle you wore on the first date that left them captivated and intrigued, if not besotted with you entirely!
