Do you find that the hair topic is a very personal topic in public?

We all seem to have no problems chatting about our hair on the hair boutique but do you find yourself at times in a situation that is very uncomfortable and has to do with hair discussion?

I did a couple of times. I took this powerpoint course once and the instruction said that we had to do two powerpoints slides of different topics. One of mine was antiques and the other I went on a limb and the tittle was" how to be a hair goddess on the internet and the rules" ( I love humour)

AT the end of our projects we students had to walk around the class to ask questions about each other projects . Everyone loved my antique slides and I gained a lot of acceptance about it but most women back off on my hair goddess one and some men just chuckled. The funny part was the instructor used to have long hair( I never knew before) and he though it was a great slide and I gained good points. I just find it interesting how the hair topic didn`t right with some people. Everyone did realize that it was just humour yet I feel that I did a slide on women lingerie etc I wouldn`t have had the same reactions but better.

Till this day I will never get used to having someone phone me and just talk about hair. lol I don`t know why.

Even at work when the hair topic came up I found people shy away from it eventhough some people would have enjoyed talking about it more.

I would have though that talking about our toes etc would be more personal yet...........

It`s true. Many is the time when I see a female colleague whose hair makeover has been so radical or impressive as to really make me want to tell them so. If I`m feeling brave I do and invariably the reaction is one of embarrassed politeness. Why? They should know me enough to realise that I`m not trying to "hit" on them - the very idea would be ridiculous - but no, it seems that complimenting a woman on her new hairstyle is taboo, unless you`re another woman. What a shame!

I think the subject can be personal particulary where colourants are concerned. Some women - this may be an English trait, I don`t know - will go to any length to pretend their colour is natural. Anybody found this? Afterall, in offices many feel themselves in competition with younger colleagues.

Hello Diane,

>>>We all seem to have no problems chatting about our hair on the hair boutique but do you find yourself at times in a situation that is very uncomfortable and has to do with hair discussion?

Nearly ALL of the time!

>>>I went on a limb and the tittle was" how to be a hair goddess on the internet and the rules" ( I love humour)

This is, in no way, meant to be an insult, but I`m just curious if the word "godess" weren`t awkward. Usually the term is applied to someone else, not ourselves!

>>>I just find it interesting how the hair topic didn`t right with some people.

Well, to some, talking about the hair on the head is about as interesting as talking about the hair on our arms! Some people simply have no interest at all in the subject.
