h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This is by far the quickest and most hassle-free way to feel 100% sexier.

Just unclip/untie/unbraid your locks, and let them fall, spilling or sproinging as it may. Comb out any hairspray or other hair styling product with your fingers-- run them all over-- and let it tumble down your uncovered shoulders, your exquisitely unclothed back, or wherever it wants to. You may even do a few choicely coregraphed hair flips if your hair does not feel vivaciously fluffed enough. Look your reflection in the mirror square in the eye, and give a soft, breathy growl. It's hard not to feel just a little sexy with a perfectly bed-tousled 'do.

... and if you're walked in on (by roomates, houseguests, or children-- anyone that would not immediately appreciate your excersizes in the pursuit of all that is a little sensual) you're not caught there wearing or doing something that you might be held somewhat accountable for an explanation for.

I have a grade 4 haircut - unlikely to work for me

... the unfortuanate flaw in this method, is, of course, is that it does not work if you have hair that does nothing but languish on your head in close-clipped comfort. But it does not get mussed up on the highway with the windows rolled down, now does it? We all pay for our choices in life, I guess.

I like to keep my hair down but the only problem is that it tends to get frizzy and tangled if I don't brush it every 10 seconds, and it certainly doesn't look sexy to be doing nothing but brushing your hair.

I'd have that same problem, too, because I have hopelessly curly hair... if it wasn't for a few key strategies.

Thanks for the tips, I might try a few of those. Dreadlocks, eh? Hmmm interesting...

The first part of the "curls" section was mine. The second half... Well, I tried that 'curling round your fingers' strategy, my hair ended up falling flat on it's face (presuming that it has a face), and quite tangled, besides. (It hated me for weeks after that!)

Dreadlocks are always an option for anyone looking to appear a little rebellious and aren't afraid of going for the "nature-boy" look. Just one tip: if you do consider dreadlocks, go all the way. I've seen too many people try to have just one dreadlock off the side of their head (eventually, all of your hair starts to migrate towards this dreadlock, and you end up with one big lump of matted hair on the side of your head), or try for half-dreadlock, half-somethingelse. The results of this manner of styling are downright tragic. Also, start your dreads off small. You can always bind dreadlocks together to make fewer, bigger, dreadlocks, but you can never seperate one, two, or three, matted lumps of hair into a more asctetically pleasing four, five, six, seven, or fourty two.
