Which would you rather have and why?

Good skin definitely.

Much easier to achieve good 'hair' with all of the reasonably priced wigs available today.

As someone who suffered from acne, I'd say good skin. No matter how well dressed, no matter how pretty, no matter how much in shape, you can't get past the acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and the required "work" to cover up the "problem" with makeup.

Great skin is priceless to ones self esteem.

Great hair can be purchased at every beauty supply store, online beauty site and wig shop online and in town. As long as you have at least 1 inch to cover the weft of the weave or lace wig you are "okay". If you hair is thin, one can add half wigs, if your hair color is not flattering you can dye it, if you have the funds...you can go to hairclub for ladies.

The joy of just leaving the house without makeup is not an option for me, to go the beach and just swim and get your whole face wet and make up gone is not an option for me, to just run to target bare face, is not an option for me. I'd take great skin any day of the week.

Definitely good skin as what constitutes good hair is subjective. Just about anything goes hair wise anymore.

Definitely good skin.

I'm fortunate. I have both. I can't take credit for it ... I inherited good genes.

Good skin definitely, you can always wear a wig.

Good skin.

It is much easier to cover up bad hair... say with a good wig or extensions... but your skin is not something you can put a wig on. Makeup on bad skin is just makeup on bad skin. It does not make your skin good skin.

Fortunately I have good skin from my genes. My hair is just natural white( I quit coloring) and I have a nice full head of hair. No complaints!

I'm not being vain but I have good hair, I have great hair. But my skin has always been problematic. I had acne through my 20's and I always had to wear makeup to cover the faint acne scars. My skin is okay now because the acne scars have faded but I do have large pores. I never had "go without makeup" skin. If I had to choose, I would choose to have good skin. As long as you have hair, you can always find styles and products that work. It's harder with skin.

Good skin definitely. Makeup can only cover so much without looking worse. Hair issues are so much easier to fix IMO. Worse scenario--you can always wear a wig.

Fake hair always looks fake. Always.

I am fortunate enough to have both, except for my pesky oily T-zone. But after giving it some thought, I would rather have good hair. It's hard to work with hair that isn't. I can disguise a bad skin day, but it's hard to hide a bad hair day.

Visits to the dermatologist and using quality skincare products and makeup will help with the skin issue.

Definitely good skin -- which gratefully I've been blessed with. I've lived with my awful hair which is fragile and fine in any state be it straightened or natural curl. I long ago threw in the towel and resorted to keeping a wardrobe of wigs on hand.

Definitely good skin....I spend wayyyyy more on skin care than hair care products.

Good skin.I can put a wig on my head but I can't put a wig on my face.

I hope to never have to choose! Both are important.

I agree. I think they are equally as important in both the way they make you feel about yourself and rightly or wrongly, even the way others see you.

Hands down...good skin.

Nothing is so beautiful as flawless, velvety skin.

So desired by so many who didn't get that gene.

The beauty industry makes gazillions of dollars peddling that they have the cure when it is an illusion at best.

Besides, I already have good hair and that can be accomplished by anyone at any time.

Not so with skin...
