So, I've been conducting an informal study over the past several days and have drawn the following conclusions:
- when I shower, I get no comments on my looks other than clothes
- when I don't shower, the number of comments on my looks jumps from 0 to approximately 3 per day. All of these comments are along the lines of "you look British" or "I like your hair, it's very Euro"
- further testing showed that comments were based entirely on hair (showering on the morning but keeping hair as dry as possible)
- this means that either Brits don't shower or don't wash their hair, or possibly that when I wash my hair at night rather than in the morning, I look like a member of a widely varying group of people across the Atlantic ocean
- finally: I look better when my hair is unwashed. Possible explanations are that my hair gets oily as time goes by and that washing that oil out causes my hair to frizz out in that partial fro I've had for so long, and the resulting curly bowl-cut that I seem to get looks decidedly British; or possibly the resulting style is just different enough for others to pick a nationality to apply to me.
Just an observation - I've stopped washing my hair in the morning because I look British :D
