Maybe it`s region specific, but jet black hair for women seems to be the upcoming trend here this summer.
What is interesting it that (on a lady with a good tan, no goths please!) this attracts my attention far more than any extreme hair coloring stunt. Go figure. I guess I like them more classy than look-at-me.
Same thing in your part of the world?
Interesting that you equate black hair/tan body to “classy”. Do you then equate the opposite (blonde hair/pale body) to “unclassy” or is that the “look at me” thing you were talking about?
I love that look. Demi Moore and Jennifer Connelly, in particular, are beautiful.
Women here in Austria are still caught up in the damn red hair thing. It gets old really quick.
Jennifer Connoly…(Homer Simpson style drool)
KARMA: My bad. What I meant by classy is in the line of ‘less is more’. The more the multi-colored-look-at-me effort, the less it impresses me. A woman does not need to have 2-3 colors, streaks or anime (japanese animation) colors to grab my attention. Since fashion will always be there, and herds will always follow it, might as well appreciate the few trends that I like when they do pass.
Demi Moore and Jennifer Connelly are totally hot.
Bonus points for chicks with Cleopatra hair styles.
DAN C: Ah, gotcha. That makes sense. I understand everyone has their coloration preferences but saying one color indicated a personality trait was what threw me. I agree with your point about having “natural” looking hair versus the 15 shades of salon coloring that look like a bird took a shit on your head and it dripped down the sides.
I like a chick who sports a reverse Mohawk. Any color will do.
KARMA: Reminds me the old bodybuilding saying : If you have to flex it, it ain’t there. In my case, it works in the beauty vs attention-grabbers question. Real beauty does not need that much advertising, IMHO.
Similar thing for fashions that show too much skin, too. Showing too much kills the mystery, leaves nothing to wonder about. While too much skin is amusing to see when you want instant-eye entertainment (like the Harley Davidson babe in TC’s article last week or someone you cross and will never see again ), it always makes me wonder why the girl invests so much in her image…something to hide, compensation, etc…?
But, hey, I’m more of the long-term, quality, classic, brains included approach. Other flamboyant styles have their value, too. Just not my type. Nothing wrong with other styles. Like they say, for ever seller, there’s a buyer, eh?
KARMA: Woops! Forgot the blonde and pale tangent. By now you will understand that it’s more of the natural vs flash idea. Blondes or redheads, natural or flashy, will evoke the same types of reactions in me, depending on how they ‘package’ themselves (classy or look-at-me). Though I will admit, historically, my radar has always beeped more for the darks/brunettes than the other types.
Hahah, you guys are funny.
I’ll trade my straight black hair for gorgeous dark auburn red.
I love the really dark hair also, but I like anyhting that’s talking to me. My fiancee is a blond for instance.
STELLA: I do not wish to insult you by referrig to/using a Japanese expression (for example’s sake), but please don’t turn ganguro on us! Please! ;0)
(Type Ganguro or Ganguro Girls on Google.com…real hard to miss! LOL)
I had always been really more attracted to dark haired girls, especially with blue eyes; but then again…I married a light brown-haired beauty with green eyes. It’s not so much the looks I geuss, as much as it is sex-appeal, atleast for me. There were these two girl in medical school, and #1 was much more attractive than #2, but #2 was flirty, funny, cool, and liked to have fun and #1 was amazingly boring and snooty and of course thought she was better than us, so most of us were more attracted to #1. To be honest though, I haven’t noticed any dark hair trends here in Ohio yet.
Yeah, I’ll fall for blondes and redheads too, but I’ve always loved the hot chicks with dark hair.
Dan C: I betcha you didn’t insult Stella since she’s of Korean decent.
Women with Black hair and a tan and that are fit are a true fantasy of mine!!! 
PATRICIA: I knew. The few Koreans I have known did not like to be likened to Japanese by close or by far, that’s why I took the polite approach.
I didn’t get insulted, but I must admit I was tempted to dye my hair dark red several times. But now I’m tired of my old highlights, so I’m going to grow my hair out (6 more inches to go!) so I can cut it all off and get my hair back to its original color.
But regardless…red is a very tempting color…
