Hair Manners: A Light-Hearted Look

here are definitely some hair-related manners. This goes for long and short hair, and every hair in between.

I realize we all have busy lives, and who needs another set of rules to live by, but consider the higher purpose of manners.

Manners are set modes of behavior by which we keep at least the veneer of civilization lemon-waxed and shining. Manners are the art of not doing something that would offend others.

So how does this apply to hair?

* Do not comb your hair at the table. People are eating, and do not want stray hair in their food.

* Do not play with your hair in public unless you are a child. (And if you are, someone will tell you to quit it soon enough.)

* Do not pluck your eyebrows in public.

* Do not leave stray hairs in the sink when you comb your hair in the bathroom. People do not want to clean up your hairs.

* Ditto--the tub.

* While we're on the subject, do not leave hairs wrapped around the soap in the shower. Of course if you live alone, then it's your choice: leave them or shave the soap.

* Do not flip your long hair behind you in a crowded restaurant. Chances are it will land in someone's plate.

* If you are balding, do not do the comb-over thing. It never looks good, and you're not fooling anyone.

* Be aware of where your hair is at all times, especially in a restaurant. In other words, be careful not to drag your hair through the guacamole.
