About This Quiz

Once upon a time, we were probably all very happy to let our hair grow and grow until it was long enough to use as some kind of protection against the wind and the rain. Of course, we were probably hiding in caves from sabertooth tigers back then, too. In more modern times we've all had to contend with cutting and styling hair, to a greater or lesser degree. Somewhere along the line, society allowed itself to believe such personal grooming habits were more for women than for men. Many a man has grown up believing he just needed a nearsighted old man in a barber shop to trim his hair in the exact same fashion four times a year, every year. But that's just not the case. A man's hairstyle can be every bit as involved as a woman's, because why not? Hair is hair – it all deserves the same love.

If your boyfriend is the kind of guy who never seems to know what to do with his hair, or maybe lets it run a bit too wild and shaggy, then we're here to help. Answer a few simple questions about the lad and we'll recommend his ideal haircut to you. Grab your trimmer and take the quiz!
