How about clean hair that’s styled well?

I can’t imagine a situation where greasy hair would be a better option than clean hair.

I’m not trying to decide which to have, I’m asking for opinions. Thank you.

Clean. You are talking about guys right? I like guys to be guys, not reminding me of my mother with all that hairspray and goo she wore.

Cleanliness always. And one man’s “stylish” is another’s NSFW.

Greasy hair never works. YUCK! I have clean hair that is styled very messy.

Clean and messy. Just finished watching a tribute to Layne Staley. Definitely clean. what’s up with all these guys trying to look like Ed Grimley?

Are you referring to the hair actually being dirty or just having a greasy look because the guy put a little Dapper Dan or V05 gel in his hair to get the bed head under control, and the result looks a little greasy compared to leaving the bed head?

I think clean, always. Some people like myself have hair that is a little unruly. In that case getting a good cut that works with your waves and curls instead of against them, or a shorter cut, might be a better solution than dousing your head with grease to keep it from sticking up.

I think clean and messy is better but from the reactions I see people get in public, greasy people who look well combed are treated less like vagrants than people sporting a cave man look.

If there was no other choice then I would go for clean and messy. I can’t stand the feeling of greasy, oily hair. It feels as though the head is 50 kgs heavy!

Cleanliness, you can always easily style hair.
