Curly Vs. Straight: Which Hair Type Do Men like More?

We like to tackle the tough questions over at Beauty Riot. Are plain nails better than massively blinged-out ones? Is a smoky eye hotter than a red lip? Is straight hair sexier than curly?


For that last one, we took to the streets (aka the parking lot food trucks at lunch time) to ask a handful of guys which photo of Taylor Swift they preferred: her tousled, curly hair (use this how-to to steal the look) or her sleek and straight style (get styling tips here).
