When to let your hair down or keep it up...

Every relationship has important milestones such as the first time you kiss, the first time you go out on a date, the first time you....... you catch my drift.

Somewhere along the way, you may reach that milestone of a guy staying over for the first time which turns into a second time, then a third and so on.

But when does he find out that you wear a headscarf or rollers to bed to achieve the look that he so appreciates?

In the beginning, you may find ways to fake it such as just waking up early to fight with the hair products or opting for cop-out remedies like hair clips or ponytail holders.

But eventually, if he's staying over all the time, he's going to have to see that achieving that Pantene Pro-V commercial hair is not so easy.

I say after you have been intimate with a person, it should just be whenever you feel comfortable. A lot of times this milestone passes without much acknowledgement or thought. Yet, speaking to some of my female friends, apprehension can lead up to this point because you know he's going to find out you don't wake up perfect everyday.

So when do you believe it's time to start pulling out the headscarves, rollers in a relationship? What factors play a role?

There's only one factor:
That one's comfortable with the other person. Why are people so afraid of being themselves? If someone's so stupid as to care only about the other person's image then why bother in having a date with that person?
I mean... come on.

A huge part of dating -- at least initially -- is about image and how people perceive you and how you perceive other people. Especially early on in a relationship. Most people want to put their best foot forward to increase their chances of getting the second, third, fourth and so on dates.

Think about it in other terms ... when you first start dating someone, most men and women try to avoid burping in front of their dates because they don't want to be seem as rude, crude ... whatever. But later on in a relationship when you get more comfortable around people, you let one out every now and then. If you started dating a person and all they did was burp around you, you'd probably dump them pretty soon for being gross/having no class. Same thing with doing up your hair ... it's all about image.

Of course, if later in the relationship someone dumps you because you had a bad hair day, that would be unacceptable. But early on, it could be a sign that you're a slob or don't care about your appearance.

Hmm... no. One thing's image and another is good manners.
