Being watched when you do your hair

How bad does it distract you?

Personally it makes me into ten left thumbs

I wonder why this is? Even when Im being watched by a close friend or boyfriend, it totally throws me off

I can't stand people looking at me when I do my hair... I put up with fuzzy braids because I don't like redoing them in public.

Depends. Sometimes I have that "eww stop looking at me" feeling, other times I just want to flip my hair like a shampoo commercial and have everyone swoon! (I know, in my dreams, right? lol )

I voted "I never thought about it" for I haven't. I guess that's because I rarely do my hair in public.
However I suspect I might become a bit self-concious if a stranger was stareing.....

I don't do mine in public, but I like it when someone notices how I am wearing it. If my DH watches me when we are at home, I get all fumbly handed.

I said "Stop looking at me!" I really can't stand fixing my hair with someone watching me unless it's specifically so I can show them how to do it.

Otherwise, I just feel really weird!

I don't mind when people watch me while I'm doing my hair. It can be kinda flattering.

I want to imagine they're mesmerized by my lovely hair and my incredibly clever ways with a hair stick. I guess that makes me a hair exhibitionist

I voted "I never thought of it" because I generally do my hair once for the day in the morning while eveyone else is doing other things. I don't mind people being around while I do my hair, but I'm not sure I would want people watching (not that anybody ever does) Since I'm a bit of a perfectionist with my updos and I have been know to redo an updo when I'm not happy with it (if I have the time) I don't think I would want anyone there while I analys it from all sides with a mirror

I can't stand being watched while doing my hair/make up or while I'm drawing. I don't mind people seeing me without makeup or with my hair unbrushed, but in the process of fixing it, I need to be alone. It's very common among my female friends as well. A standard phrase is "turn around, I'm about to put mascara on"
