I feel like I got addicted to being scientifically called ugly

If possible, please do a video on how earrings and other accessories have an effect on facial aesthetics! I noticed I look waaaay more attractive with hoop earrings on compared to studs or no earrings

your natural hair kept healthy is always best despite length and race. As a black woman I keep my hair in its natural coily texture, healthy and long or in braids. I've said goodbye to straight hair and trying to be what Im not long ago. I feel and look so much better! Thanks for acknowledging the history and social/professional issues that are a part of the black hair story.

I really appreciate the attempt to include Black people in this video despite the lack of research.

I’m surprised you guys haven’t done a deep dive into the ideal amount of muscle mass when it comes to being physically attractive and what is considered too much/too little. I see a lot of gym bros trying to cover this subject, but it would be good to see a channel like yours, just because it would be more objective and science based.

dear black women, your natural hair is beautiful, pls don’t change for others. i personally love it💗

It is really frustrating that there are barely any studies on curly hair. So many people have curly hair and have no idea how to take care of it properly, and so end up brushing it out in an effort to make it look 'tidier', but just end up damaging it further and making it look unkempt and messy. If there was more readily available information about how to properly care for curly hair, more people who have it would be able to make it look tidy, defined, shiny and healthy. Of course prejudices will still exist, especially toward people of colour, but if there was more correct education then we may have less people thinking that it is untidy or messy, and more people being able to realise how attractive curly hair is, especially since it takes way more energy and time to groom properly.

I always thought that hair is very important, personally having good hair adds at least 3 points to my face

afro hair always gets referred to as "70s hair" or "fun & wild" so it's never surprising when your superior (teacher, boss etc) suddenly tells you that your hair isn't "appropriate" for the setting. i never did straighten my hair tho 😂👆🏾 but they're a bit more willing to let things slide now that my hair is less kinky and more curly. disappointing but that's the sad truth.

I got WAY MORE attention from men after cutting my hair to chin length! I cut it just because I thought the style was cute. I was so surprised when more men started approaching me, and now I get a lot of compliments in public - not just people saying “I like your hair” but also saying “you’re very beautiful” in a way I never experienced with longer hair. I think it’s because I have very soft facial features and a more delicate bone structure that get hidden by long hair. My friend who has more angular features looks incredible with voluminous, long hair, but not me. Basically, if I take the conventional advice that long hair is more attractive, I’m shooting myself in the foot because I have the sort of face that will blend in if I don’t make space for it. It also helps that my hair is thick/wavy, and I keep it looking healthy/styled. If you think your face might stand out more (in a good way) with short hair but are afraid to lose attractiveness points, I’d advise at least considering the risk because it may really pay off.

It would be interesting to address older woman to cutting there hair shorter and whether it does give them the face lift effect that they desire .

Great, clean hair makes me feel so good about myself, I notice a drop in mood right around the time I need to wash my hair because it doesn't look good

As Fleabag says, hair IS everything

Straight hair is actually the rarest hair type. It is more common among Asians but most people (even Europeans) have wavy hair or curly hair. If straight hair was common we wouldn’t all have hair straighteners

And then there’s Rihanna. Who looks good in every hairstyle

This is SO interesting because I did an experiment on my channel which showed how as a black woman, altering my hairstyle changed the race of men I attracted! Love this channel so much!!! Good stuff! 😁👏🏾

A girl I know has hair down to her waist/hips, it's naturally blonde and wavy and really stands out when she walks down the street, she's also attractive and models and always gets called a Barbie or a (Disney) princess

Of interest: in colonial Louisiana, women of colour were required to wear headscarves, because their hair and the more elaborate styles they did were seen as threatening to the beauty of white women. This was present on plantations as well, where white women felt threatened by the hair of women who were enslaved. And so a huge process of *making* Afro hair seem inferior had to occur-it wasn’t automatic, or innate. It was also a trend in the 18th century for white upper class people to replicate Afro hair.

I'd be SO interested in see your take on the Kibbe style system - I know women's fashion isn't the usual content, and y'all aren't focussed on that topic, but the systematic nature of it is something I'd love to see discussed, considering your strongly rational, analytic approach. A subscriber can dream!😂

Straightening our hair can cause us to loose our hair. This is why the natural hair movement wasn't just about politics or rejecting Caucasian and Asian standards its also about health as you can see with the Jada Pinkett Smith situation.

Can you do a video on Lucy Liu? Westerners often rave about how attractive she is. Yet Asians call her unattractive. Would be curious what a "scientific" analysis would come up with.

I feel like some people are so good looking that it doesn’t matter whether they have hair as long as their hair isn’t wonky shaped. Some of the most beautiful women and men I’ve ever seen were bald. I’m black and I feel like curly hair looks better on me than straight which is why I haven’t straightened it in 15 years. Straight hair only looks decent on me when it’s medium to short and in layers. Long straight hair pulls me down too much.

i don't have many standards when it comes to looks, but i cannot go out with someone who just doesn't take care of their hair it's a big must for me

As a white woman with naturally curly hair I will say, based on my own experience, that natural curly hair and curled hair with an iron gain two different responses. Natural curly hair is still considered "unprofessional" looking and seen as less attractive, regardless of race, while curled hair is seen as very attractive. My theory for this is curly hair can be more unruly, and it's state is subjected to by the elements, so throughout the day the way your hair looks can change leading to more frizz or expansion, while curled hair has a sleeker appearance and won't change the moment the environment changes and is less susceptible to frizzing. Curled hair also has more gloss to it since the hair is being essentially straightened and then curled by the heat of the iron, laying the strands down flat, while naturally curly hair has kinked and rougher strands which makes the light less likely to bounce off from it.

When as a teenager I tried to straighten my hair and only got emotional (and hair) damage from trying to fit the pattern. The effort to make my hair look certain way made me anxious, and I think I look better today by having a better relationship with my own hair, letting it be, respecting the shape and being gentle with the modeling.

would you ever make a video about what hairstyle works for a certain face shape?

I’m amazed that hair thickness (specifically density and evenness along the bottom) was not further addressed here. Not blaming the creators of the video but rather the researchers. In my opinion it is just as important (if not more so) than length. It is more of an indicator of genes, health, and youth than length is honestly. And that’s across the board, regardless of hair type. Of course, length can add femininity and disguise or distract from masculinity, but I think most people would take a thick, curly bob over long, straight, low density hair with thinning and broken ends. Maybe one day there will be enough research to create a part 2 which further includes thickness and Afro hair!

You should do a video on tattoos and attractiveness! I've read that tattoos on women make you be perceived as more promiscuous. I don't know if it has to do with size, color,or more importantly placement; but there are some people who tattoos really detract from them and others who completely pull it off.

i have a heart shaped face and i hate having long hair. it elongates my face too much & weighs down my curls. i prefer having a lion cut (just a round cut with layers for curly hair) i get a lot of compliments on it & how much it suits me : )

I always knew that attractive women can pull off a range of hair styles. I think long hair is beneficial for less attractive women however. Thanks for sharing!

I think Kibbe does the best job of determining which hair shapes and styles look best on the individual. It’s all about bone structure. It works for everyone I know, anyway.

As someone who cut her hair short a few years ago, what surprised me was how positively men responded to it (I was going through some stuff and I didn't care if it looked bad, I just wanted to chop my hair lol). I think it brought out some of my better features, as opposed to my long hairstyle. Some people also see short hair as 'edgy'. Hairstyles really do bring out either your best or worst features depending on how they're done, and everyone probably has a specific short and long hairstyle that suits them perfectly and that will make them look attractive. That having been said, well-groomed long hair is always eye-catching.

I can't believe they spent time and money studying this instead of female specific diseases or cancer, actually I can. They are just that narcassistic, and our society rewards that sort of thing.

I went natural and big chopped my hair last year. Before hand I always had my hair straight. It’s been very interesting to see the difference in how people would treat me based on my hairstyle

I've had to do the big chop from straightening my hair a couple times. My hair was dead. Most people like me better with straight or even wavy hair. I personally think I'm prettier with that hair I just dont like killing my hair soni dont do it anymore. I'm happy that society is starting to appreciate curly hair and other natural hair styles.

Thank you for putting out so much good content consistently! 💕

I really appreciate the effort and research you put into talking about black hair ...my hair is healthiest in its natural afro state and I think I look good and get compliments but when I'm at work I definitely feel the vibe change ,either I make them nervous or they treat me like a spectacle

Curly, wavy soft hair that's pulled away from my face looks best on me. I feel kinda lazy looking when I have my hair pulled back into a bun or ponytail but it looks more elegant. Hair that's around my face just makes me look like I dont have a neck. I dont have the "best" profile (I have a flat nose/face), but my cheekbones are high and I have a good jawline so I think I can pull it off.

I study bio and this channel is justttt soo good. I love the jargon and sci literature being used and shown.

got my hair super short and everyone says it suits me much better, wow looks like i am outstandingly beautiful

Love this episode. It felt like I could use the information to my advantage. As hair is something we have some control over in terms of appearances

I think hair that is straight or wavy looks better when it’s fine or medium in terms of follicle thickness. Coily or kinky looks better when the hair is course or has thick strands. Also, with blondes, if the hair is too course it looks like straw too me. The finer strands reflect more light and appear less stiff. It’s very interesting when someone with 4c hair gets a silk press. The girls who have the finer hair get a more glossy and cascading result as opposed to the course girls. They get more volume and bounce but a little less luminosity and flow.

Just got a keratin treatment due to my hair being very thick and frizzy and a huge difference in my confidence level and ppl start treating me better too

This is an interesting video. As an Asian-American woman, I have medium-length slightly wavy, thick hair. At work, I just wear a ponytail. However on other days, I let my hair down (literally) and either blow dry it straight or air dry it wavy. Also, I definitely believe face shape is a key factor in determining a flattering hairstyle. Like clothing, one’s hairstyle is a form of creative expression too.

And then there are styling systems like Northrup, McJimsey, Kibbe and Kitchener PSC that are based on the balance of yin and yang in your bone structure and flesh… and how to bring out the best in your own unique beauty by following the lines (curved, blunt or angular) and relative degree of softness in your features, through hairstyles, accessories, and clothing. Since longer hair would generally be considered a yin feature, depending on how straight or wavy/curly it is, shorter styles may suit some of the more yang types in these systems. And the most petite frames can become overwhelmed by long hair, so some of the recommendations are based around finding the balance with one’s build as well as facial structure. Not saying one system is right and the other wrong - just another facet to consider in the bigger picture! 💖🥰🕉

I’m a Black woman with a very thick, kinky, medium-length Afro. I tend to keep it styled very simply-crown braid, high or low bun, a styled Afro, and sometimes a braid-out that I style in updos. I straighten it infrequently, and wear it shoulder length with soft waves at the ends. This is where it gets interesting. I have photos of myself with all my hairstyles on dating apps when I use them. With apps that let users like individual photos, the MOST popular hairstyle is a straight-from-the-sixties beehive look with sideswept bangs that’s one of my go-to updos when my hair is in a braidout. In the photo I’m also wearing a vintage cocktail dress and slightly 60s-inspired makeup. The same photo is the most liked photo I’ve ever posted on Instagram. I wear a less exaggerated version of that hairdo often irl, with scarves, headbands, or decorative hairpins, and it’s what garners the most attention in average urban multiracial settings. I’m talking double takes, jaw drops, free drinks, people thinking I’m a model, and in one instance, a man running down a corridor stopping to say “you’re stunning!” and continuing to run wherever he was going. TL:DR-There’s a reason why updos/heavily stylized hair have been the most common women’s hairstyles throughout history and across cultures. It’s universally popular and can be made to suit any hair type and face with the addition of decorations or extra hair. I’d love to see this studied.

I was waiting for this forever ♾️

this is the scientific part of what I love about watching Rare Lee's facial and hair commentary

Thumbs up for you. I always appreciate the scientific approach. It offers a nice contrast to my layman view of beauty… a lottery that some win, and some don’t win.

I feel like short hair looks better on stronger/more masculine features

healthy, clean, and tidy hair will always be the most attractive amongst everyone

I have naturally curly hair, but I find I get the most compliments when I have my head shaved. I have a pretty feminine face: big rounded eyes, long lashes, and a small nose. My face is pretty soft but my jaw and chin are defined. I want to have long hair again someday but I’m in a stage of my life where I wanna do what’s cost effective + works for me. I guess it’s a good thing people enjoy the shaved look

i like your videos very much i hope you do more of analyzing celebrity faces

My entire life I've always wanted waist long hair... I've never been able to get long hair for whatever reason, until covid! During covid my hair has grown the longest it has ever been and I am so happy.

can you do one about Latinas with curly hair, I know that it would be hard because we can all look very different but could you include research from Mexico and South America?

getting my haircut tomorrow so this is perfect timing

Marilyn Monroe , Lady Diana, Whitney Houstoun : super short hair and way more beautiful than so many long haired women put together. Period.

This is by Far the best beauty channel

Can you do a video on orbital bones, specifically infraorbital rims, i wanna know just what affects the eye shape. From what I've seen, posterior part of the eye is very affected by zygomatic bone height As for anterior part - upper maxillary protrusion is what makes it attractive, makes it look like there's no under-eye hollowness.

If you have a little bit of a long face, curls really help make it look alot smaller! 💗 Yw

You should do a video on the parting of the hair and how it affects the facial features!

That was interesting to learn. Thanks!

I would like a discussion about curly hair in white women, and the rate of attractiveness. Thanks 😊

This is so cool! Can you please do a celebrity facial analysis of Bill Skarsgard?

I love this channel

I am pretty average, but bro my hair really is a deal maker, pretty long, brown, healthy hair and good hairline, i mean god had to be merciful as he created

Finally: HONESTY!!! I love it! ❤️

Interesting video! I'm curious about the history of hair straightening in East Asia. While naturally straight hair is pretty common among Asians, wavy or 'frizzy' hair is not uncommon at all. Sometimes too, Asian women with naturally straight but not 'flat hair' (hair that appears 'wide') will use a straightening iron to make the hair sit flat. Japan even invented one of the most successful hair straightening methods in the world.

these videos are so interesting! I find them helpful. As a 29yr old Black American woman, my objective in following this channel is to learn how to be as attractive as possible lol... sounds odd, but is very effective! In my observation, hair weaves never look as healthy/natural as natural hair because theyre too dense and the textures arent natural. Personally, I think I look most beautiful when my natural hair is glossy/moisturized and the thin parts of my hairline are lightly enhanced to appear thicker. I have a widows peak, which is quirky and unique, so i try to embrace it and part accordingly. My profile picture is about 5yrs old when I moved to NYC and began experimenting with half-wigs, which gave me the option to increase the length of my hair while maintaining a natural hairline... the issue with these is the volume though- its just too much hair! Naturally, the hair on my head is THICK! I have a lot of hairs per inch... and so does my Italian/Polish boyfriend- his hair is dense, and even he remarks that I have a LOT of natural hair... although I happen to know that he prefers the ringlets of type 3 hair of latinas. His mom and sister have densely thick wavy medium-length European hair... tbh, I believe he subconsciously knows that our kids would have the hair he finds most attractive, and this is interesting to me! I mean, obviously we date who we date because we love them, like them, are attracted to them, whatever, but scientifically, there are reasons WHY we like what we like

I used to routinely wear my hair super short, but as I enter my 50s I look better with longer hair that frames my face. Facial changes I think.

POV: you have afro

great work!...I love my locs and men love them on me:-)

personally, i feel like longer hair would suit me bc my eyebrows are short, so it makes my forehead look bigger than it actually is. but with shrinkage, most afro hair appears shorter than it really is. so even at mid back length, it's still "short" 🙁 i guess i'm growing my hair to thigh-length.

i❤️this channel so interesting i learn a lot

This chanel makes me feels better about my looks, even though i do not fit the scientific or societal beauty standards. But just learning about the scientific reasons these standards exists just makes me happy with myself for some reason, idk how to explain it

Where I'm from most women wear their hair straight even if it's curly or wavy and curl it with curling irons occasionally so wearing your hair naturally wavy or curly every day stands out

This is interesting. When they showed the photos at 6:09, I chose these three at 7:51 to be the BEST hair for her, not the worst. Maybe that is the difference between male gaze and female gaze?

Thanks to QOVES, now i am slowly accepting how ugly i am through their scientific studies.

I think it also matters if you are a white person with natural curls or a black person with natural curls or even coils.

Just when I thought I couldn’t overthink things more than I already do. 🤯

I am a person of color, gay man in my mid-20s, with plain hair for most of all my life. I started going to the salon to have my hair curled when I was 23. I'm 26 now. And my curly hair is now touching my shoulder. This hair gave me confidence. And it elevated my look. I started getting second looks, wholesome compliments from men and women. I think I will forever stick to curly hair. Sure, most days it's hard to tame. But on good days, I look charming AF, this is me just being genuinely confident. Fleabag is right--hair is everything.

I love curly hair! I have big curls / wavy hair. Very lucky because it always looks styled.

I suffer from hairloss since I was a little girl and it has always made me feel like a monster although I think I have a pretty face and body. Hair is very important.

despite the lack of research, i appreciate the attention paid to the racial and cultural facet of this topic ✨

I'am so annoyed of Attraction and the pressure of Attraction..Just be Happy, Just be free

Literally uploads this video as i get my haircut after 5 month of growing it out 😭

I wonder what role hair color plays in beauty from unnatural colors and highlights

❤️ Thank you for your culturally inclusive research QOVES Studio❤️

I always style my hair so half my Face is covered and I think I look so much better that way

Luv this.💜

Oh my! The photo of the young lady from (probably) 100 years ago, I remember a picture of my mother-in-law's mom - same sideview pose with hair down and hanging over the shoulder. I guess that was a typical pose back then. Women wore their hair in a bun but whoever knew it was that long ? What an interesting memory!

Very interesting look at african American hair. Thank you for covering it!

Thanks for sharing ❤️

I have a beautiful face, even at the age of 41. So, of course I also have thin, straight hair. I keep it short for volume. & It works.

Do you also have a video on men's hair? I think its interesting that long hair has been coined "feminine ". Could we delve into this more?

It's taken me so many years of trial and error to make my hair manageable. It's fine, wavy, frizzy and extremely dry. I have found that using a mild shampoo on the roots only once a week is the only thing that works for my hair and to wash the lengths with water only. I use a leave in cream conditioner and serum on the lengths because even water seems to make my hair a little dry after washing. Then I use a small amount of hair gel and I brush my hair with a paddle brush and scrunch it a little. My natural wave pattern forms and I can use a paddle brush a few times that day and it doesn't disrupt it, it simply just untangles my hair. I probably brush my hair 2-3 times a day. I get highlights once a year and that's the only time my hair sees an all over conditioner and shampoo. I don't have to deal with build up because it seems that water just washes the products I use away. For the first time in my life I have smooth shiny hair with attractive waves that is manageable and not breaking off and not frizzy. I tried the wavy girl method and it made my hair have the texture of dry vermicelli. It was also ridiculously tangled because I was told not to brush my hair and use a wide tooth comb. A paddle brush with lots of bristles seems to work the best on my hair which goes against all the commonly held knowledge of wavy hair. Nothing that has claimed to have all the answers has ever worked for me. I have had to find my own method.

this might seem strange but i watch a lot of your videos for character design when i draw lol

Where my curly hair people at 👨‍🦱?

Perfect video to braid my 40inch wavy/curly hair to 😂
