If you’re beauty obsessed and a fan of How I Met Your Mother, you’ve likely noticed just how well the hair and makeup team replicate the cast’s ever-changing looks during the show’s many flashbacks. It’s actually impressive that Cobie Smulders (Robin) and Alyson Hannigan (Lily) are allowed to change their hairstyles so frequently—that’s a lot of wigs!

At the start of season seven, Smulders debuted a new, shorter hairstyle: a wavy, almost flirty ‘40s-style bob. And I liked it—a lot. However, while watching this week’s episode my male viewing companions were quick to call it “Mom hair” and said it’s a style only women like. Really? Perhaps I’m inspired by Man Repeller’s recent visit to Toronto, but Smulder’s hairstyle is classic, not something the sexes should be at odds over. After much debate, neither side could come to agreement, so it’s time to vote.
