Dying Hair

Is it dying hair or dyeing hair? I’m not sure, and Firefox 1.xx doesn’t have spell check… the new 2.xx version does, and I’m going to be using that more now, since my laptop has been fixed and I have it back.

Here is the thought on an observation I’ve had for a few years. Frequently, when a girl likes a guy, she dyes her hair. Or she gets a hair cut. Or changes her hair style. I witnessed this in first year for the first time when I noticed a girl in my environmental science class do this. She obviously liked a guy, and she would try to sit next to him in class all the time. Soon she changed her hair up. I can’t remember if it was dyed or just cut.

I have witnessed a few other times too. Here is the question, have you known other girls who have dyed their hair at about the same time as when they like a guy? I know that this is definitely not the only reason why a girl would dye her hair, there are other reasons. However, I think there is enough observation in my perspective to lay a substantive claim that sometimes, girls will dye their hair when they like a guy. It’s weird. And I’m not talking “I will dye my hair to make him notice”, but subconsciously.

Perhaps they are trying to do something different to elicit a compliment. Perhaps she hasn’t received the “hi, how are ~you~ today?” so she does something different in hopes he will notice. Maybe she is testing his response, so that she knows he really likes her if he says it looks nice.

Tip for girls: don’t dye your hair if you expect a guy to say something. We are too dumb to notice sometimes, and if we aren’t too dumb to notice, we don’t want to say the wrong thing. Because maybe if we say something, the girl will be like “uh… I had my hair dyed about a week ago” or “I didn’t get it dyed, I only got low-lights” or “are you trying to tell me that my hair didn’t look nice before?” The guy would rather comment on something safer.

(I’m not saying that your hair looks bad)

    i generally make a drastic change once i’ve decided i am ‘over’ a guy. or any random time. i don’t think i’ve ever gotten a haircut to garner a guy’s attention. i assume they don’t notice these things…
