 While Marilyn Monroe is considered by many to be the epitome of sex appeal, would her bleached-blonde set waves be considered worthy by today’s standards? The “sexpot” hair that Marilyn wore in movies such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Some Like It Hot is much stiffer and sculpted than the soft, touch-me texture styling popular today. Although there are a few starlets who still sometimes wear the Marilyn inspired hair (e.g., Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani), the majority of men out there prefer their ladies to have perfectly touchable hair over perfectly-in-place hair hands down. These days, sexy hair is about effortless looking style, healthy shine, and touchability. For beautiful, bouncy hair that you’ll be stoked to have stroked, brush up on these hair styling tips for great looking hair.
Don’t Get Weighed Down
 Stay away from sticky styling products and don’t use any type too lavishly, especially if you’re hoping your guy might run his fingers through it. Remember that hair should feel as good as it looks. Using too much product weighs hair down, makes it unpleasant to touch and leaves it looking too done. Choosing the right products for your hair will allow you to use them sparingly while still getting the desired results.
Find The Right Cut
Sexy hair can be any length; it doesn’t have to be long to be seductive. Choose a cut that compliments your face shape and highlights your facial features. Don’t be afraid to discuss options with your hair stylist. A great stylist is a resource of knowledge that you should take advantage of.
Clean and Fresh
Thick hair will be easier to handle and have more natural texture and bounce if you do not wash it every day. However, if you have fine or blonde hair, or if you live in a heavily polluted city, not washing it every day will leave your hair straight, limp, and looking overburdened - never a good look. Be aware that hair absorbs odors more than skin does, so pick products with subtle scents that won’t clash with your perfume .
Bead Head
There is nothing sexier than bed locks. A tousled bed-head look should have lots of movement, but shouldn’t be too messy. Match this hairstyle with a glam dress and jewelry and you’ll look like a star; but if you team it up with a hoodie and scruffy jeans you’ll look like a tramp. So dress accordingly.
Go Natural
Hair color should look natural, as though you haven’t tried too hard. Brassy, bleached-blonde hair or unnatural reds and blacks signify “high maintenance” or “desperate” to most men. Terms not generally associated with turning guys on. Also, be sure to keep your roots in check between salon visits. Letting your roots show is grungy.
Sexy Shades
 You should look at hair color in the same way you look at foundation. Hair color should enhance your skin tone and brighten your features. Choose a shade that flatters your hair’s base tone, your complexion, and even your eye color.
The notion that gentlemen prefer blondes is out of date. The trend now is sultry, glossy browns. However, if you do want to be blonde, go for caramel and honey shades. Think more Bridgette Bardot (right) than Monroe. To keep colored hair looking healthy, treat it with sulfate-free shampoos and silicone-free conditioners; as both sulfate and silicone ingredients can dull hair.
When it comes to sexy styling the advice is simple: don’t try to model yourself after someone else. Realize that the style that will look sexiest on you is the one that best suits you. The more natural it looks, the sexier it is. Follow these hair styling tips for great looking hair.
