Meanest Hair Compliment

[Dragon]

What is the meanest hair comment you have received?


Mine was in grade 4 or 5. I had hair between chin and shoulder blade, not by choice and got asked why do you have short hair like a boy?

How is a compliment "mean"? Like a back-handed compliment? Or did you mean 'comment'?

I ment mean comment.

I was going around looking for a Boar Bristle Brush and encountered some interesting sales people. The first said I needed *item in hand* because my hair was so dry and brittle. The second told me that because my hair was "so thin" I should use *item in hand*.

a) my hair is and was not dry and brittle and b) I have the thickest head of hair of anyone I know.

It's like they were trying to get me to buy something by criticising me when they clearly hadn't even looked at me.

"Your hair is really boring. It's just... there. Why don't you get layers or a fringe or something?"

[skaempfer]

This is kind of off topic, but hair, pregnancy and infants just seem to bring out the unsolicited opinions in people.

Actually, I kind of liked the original title of the thread, meanest hair 'compliment,' because I've had some impressive backhands delivered to me.

The best was maybe "I love how you don't give a **** how your hair looks."

I've been told by a friend when I was about 14 that my hair was "kind of boring, you should cut it and have layers put in it." I ignored her, because I knew she was jealous of my having straight hair without having to flat-iron it every morning!

your hair looks mousey and stringy, and men don't like flat hair... you should tease it

Ah, the old "men don't like..." argument.

In my experience, men don't pay nearly as much attention to our hair as we think they do.
