I feel there is a difference between real life and written romance. I personally love the smooth, sexy feel of my man's hairless head (high testosterone levels he tells me ;-D) but I will not write a bald hero - unless he shaved by choice, I suppose. Even though I find my DH incredibly appealing, I doubt readers or publishers would be enthralled with a bald or balding hero. Beyond that clean is essential but length and style are dependent on the situation and heroine. Long, sleek black hair on an Lakota man who sees it as an extension of who he is can be incredibly sexy, but on a man who wears it that way because he thinks women like it is just smarmy. By that same token, a buzz cut is hot as all get out on a soldier but not so much in other situations. No clue why I think that way. Body hair is a whole different thing. :-)Becca Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854661507227735148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141313224798481619.post-64954806391271873412010-05-19T12:16:38.921-04:002010-05-19T12:16:38.921-04:00I love a man with wavy hair!

Even if his features aren't visible, his hair is. :) Front, back, side--it doesn't matter which angle I come at a man...I get a glimpse of hair, unless he's Mister Clean, of course.<br /><br />Maybe I take hair a little too far. I choose and supervise my husband's haircuts so I can be sure he leaves the shop looking as sexy as ever. I want great length, style, and texture.<br /><br />His secondary asset gets almost as much attention from me as his primary asset. :)Reena Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860984511692822921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141313224798481619.post-24666829760126710752010-05-19T02:13:08.893-04:002010-05-19T02:13:08.893-04:00I (and my heroines, come to think of it) see hair,...I (and my heroines, come to think of it) see hair, and how it's cut or styled, as an expression of personality. The rebellious oxford don, whose hair is that little bit too long; the shy or sneaky character, whose eyes are always partially hidden by a fringe; the ex-soldier, wose hair is still cropped short; the assassin, whose hair changes with each job or fake identity. <br /><br />Most of my heroes, if they think about their partner's hair at all, just notice how it looks and feels on a superficial level. And their own hair (or so they claim) is the way it is, as a matter of convenience.<br /><br />Hold on, I just admitted to identifying with my heroines rather than my heroes.

He said the true sign of a man's virility wasn't the thickness of a good head of hair but how well a man kept it worn off by bouncing his head off the headboard of his bed when he was pleasing his lady. *ahem* I told him that explained a lot about the errors he made at work. Apparently, he'd beaten his brains out.Maeve Greysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947265251857551496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141313224798481619.post-77177097359564209272010-05-18T19:26:08.248-04:002010-05-18T19:26:08.248-04:00Valerie,

I like clean, combed and neatly styled. I don't like overmuch chest hair and definitely not back hair. YUCK. <br /><br />I envision my heroes to have neatly cut hair, with the occasional errant lock over the forehead at the appropriate moment, but otherwise, they are respectful of their ladies and appear well-groomed. <br /><br />Just my two cents.

The chest-hair-loving ladies have it hands down - or is it fingers entwined? I get a little distracted when I start envisioning the subject! We agree that real men, have hair - not gorilla covered chests and wildebeast styles - but the soft stuff you can run your fingers through and lose your mind....Margie Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04487640135615243906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141313224798481619.post-63753425181202548312010-05-18T15:21:24.610-04:002010-05-18T15:21:24.610-04:00I've always been in love with a man's hair...I've always been in love with a man's hair.
