That's ridiculous.  *Why* do we find women with long hair more 
attractive?  Why not bald women?  You see, there's always a *reason* 
that certain features are attractive to the opposite sex in a given 
species.  There's no universal physical law as to what's attractive and 
what's not.  If there was some significant evolutionary advantage in a 
childbearing woman having a bald head, we would now instinctively find 
bald women attractive.
