Considering how much time most women (and some men) spend making their hair look “Perfect”, you’d think that hair would be the first thing people would notice when they meet someone. However, according to a survey done for Phillips Sonicare of 1,008 American adults, the time would be better spent on enhancing their smile. The survey found that 47% of people notice a person’s smile first when they meet someone. The eyes are noticed first 31% of the time, smell 11%, clothes 7%, and hair 4%. I’m a bit biased since I’m a dentist, but it seems that people would get a lot more “Bang for the Buck” if they spent more time and expendable income on improving their smiles rather than on new clothes and their hair. Guess what, the beautiful smile lasts a lot longer than the new clothes or hairstyle too!
