SANTA MONICA, CA, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Are you having a good hair day today? If you live in these cities, you
probably are. TotalBeauty.com, the leading web site offering beauty
advice and unbiased beauty product reviews covering 40,000+ products, has
put together a list of the cities with the best hair.

The BEST Hair Cities in America are:

No. 1: Santa Barbara

TotalBeauty.com experts built the list based on an analysis of each
city's annual humidity levels, pollution, rainfall, wind speeds, water
hardness, demographics and the number of beauty salons per capita in
order to find which cities have the best conditions for gorgeous, stylish
hair.

"Americans would have much better hair as a population if we all moved
here," says Editor in Chief Beth Mayall-Traglia, of the winning cities.
"While they may not be 'mullet-free zones,' they have the ideal climates
for avoiding frizz, damage and color fading; plus they offer high access
to great hairstyling talent."

No. 3: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
No. 4: Las Vegas, Nevada
