#askaroundnow
British women spend an average of 14,000 hours taking care of their hair during their lifetime, that's over one and a half whole years of brushing, washing, blow-drying, straightening, curling and cutting.
And the reason?
To attract men. A staggering 89 per cent of the women think men find them most attractive when they have a big, bouncy blow-dry; arguably the most time-consuming style.

 The poll also asked where women get their hair inspiration from, and 90 per cent said they look to celebrity locks.

'A staggering 65 per cent of us haven't changed our hairstyle in five years!
'A key trend for hair this season is the power-plait, and it couldn't be easier to achieve,' he said.
If that's too complicated, Mark says the sleek pony is also a hot trend this season.
He said: 'Simple, sleek pony tails have been seen all over the catwalk this season.
'Release your inner supermodel with this up-do, and prove once and for all that this hair trend should no longer be banished to the gym!'
