Hair Fetish

Very stimulating thread!
Hair fetishist here too and relieving feelings when i found out about this net underground world.

This "thing" developed during my childhood and I stronly believe childhood experiences are the main channel to this fetish. I'm a guy. I used to have my hair cut both at barbershops and in ladies' salons. Being very shy, I used to fear having my hair cut very short and people commenting about it, my mother considered short haircuts as a threat and a punishment.

I think dom/sub is, in fact, part of the picture, not for everybody and the very interpretation of it isn't univocal: cutting can mean submitting but who dares to go damn short usually shows self-confidence and this latter quality puts you somehow in a dominant position. What about then seeing long hair as a hassle and physical burden for entertaining in certain activities and taking up a certain role?

Does anybody find in it even some kind of gender confusion and curiosity in crossing borders swapping roles and so on?

Just a few thoughts.

Me, myself and I

To me a fetish just for a hair style or length doesn't make sense. If I find a person unattractive it doesn't matter what kind of hair they have.

What does make sense is if you really like a certain hairstyle better than certain other styles and a person that you like as a person and find attractive is also wearing that hairstyle you like. Then the hairstyle just makes you find that person even more attractive!
Now that makes sense to me.

If you see someone cut their hair short from long, it can be attractive, or grow it long from short, that can be even more attractive. I just really like long and seeing it swishy.

But it is true taht if a girl wasn't attractive I wouldn't care too much about her hair.

I liked this girl once she semed really nice but then she turned all nasty but I still can't help looking at her sometimes cause she has really cool hair. Sucks.

Well I'm glad you are posting here Viktoria.
Scandinavians are good people and Sweden, like Norway and Denmark, is a lovely country.

I've been following this provocative thread since its inception, and finally have gotten up the courage to say YES! There IS such a thing as a hair fetish! I have a hair fetish! (Why do I feel like I'm at an Al-anon meeting- which I've never been to?) Hair is probably the first physical characteristic I notice on a woman. Face and figure come next. Cleavage isn't that important to me.

Actually, it's certain hairstyles or the way hair is worn that really turn me on. My wife thinks I'm absolutely nuts that my hair fetish includes those wide plastic tortoise shell toothed headbands (generally those made by Goody and Scunchi), which is the only accessory I like that her thick, wavy chin length 'pouf' can accomodate. When I ask her to wear one for moments of, er, intimacy, I always remind her that if I have to have a fetish, at least it's one that's safe- and clean.

As to WHY headbands turn me on, I'll never know.
But that's been the case since I was in elementary school during the mid-late sixties, when headbands were extremely popular. Watch a WONDER YEARS rerun and you'll see what I mean. At age 44, my ardor for them has not cooled in the least.

My fetish is also provoked by a full ponytail held back with a clip or barrette, especially if to the middle or high on the head. Ponytails held back with an elastic or scrunchie don't do anything for me, unless it's high on the head and bounces when in motion. I love to watch a woman make a high ponytail in this manner if, when done, she spreads the hair apart with her hands, making it look that much thicker and bushier.

My ALL-TIME fetish provoker is when a woman twists her hair into a ponytail, bends over and clips the twisted part to the back of her head with a large clip. When she straightens up, the reverse ponytail (or 'flip-flop', as nicknamed by an ex-girlfriend) hangs down behind the head and over the shoulders in a way that looks absolutely adorable- more so when she moves. This is best achieved with straight hair at least mid-back length. A similar effect can be created with a banana, claw or dolphin clip, but it's not a true 'flip-flop' without a curved Goody.

One of the most sensual moments I can experience is a woman's hair touching my face. Would that qualify as a fetish?

I'd better go throw cold water on my face now-

Tommi, you mean Tamara Tunie?  I would kill for curls like hers.  But I suppose the grass is always greener, right?

Oh her curls are gorgeous also.  I'd love to have those curls!!
