Curiosity
Killed the Ditz: Hair Twirling
Why;
the three little letters that haunt my existence. From the moment I could speak
I always wanted to know why. Now as an adult I am finding less and less people
that want to answer my questions. I have been called nosey or weird, and
angered many a person, with just those 3 letters. This is my story, quest you
could call it, to ponder my Whys and if lucky find some answers.
Why
do women twirl their hair?
This
question was actually posed to me by a friend, Blimey. It isn’t something that I have thought about
before but has since captured my thoughts. Why do women, and in particular me,
twirl our hair?
The
first thing that comes to mind is it feels good. There is something about the
soft tug on your scalp that can send very good feelings through your body.
Anyone that has had their hair pulled appropriately can attest to this fact.
Also, women tend to have very soft and silky hair. This feels very good sliding
through the fingers. Personally, when I am feeling romantic, I like touching.
When in public, an appropriate touch that I can do is play with my hair. It
excites me, makes me feel attractive, and fulfills my need to touch myself or
someone else.
Outside
of the basic physical nature of the hair twirl, there is definitely a
subconscious and psychological aspect to it. For example, I find myself playing
with my hair is when I am nervous. This isn’t a sexual need but a psychological
need to feel comforted. Do you ever “worry” your hands (move them back and
forth together) when you are nervous? For me, this form of touch is comforting,
not unlike a self hug.
My
favorite aspect of the hair twirl is that is can be done by yourself but having
someone else do it can be an even more amazing experience. Give this a try. Take
a long bath or shower to relax you. Then go to your loved one and ask them to
brush your hair. Make sure you are comfortable and tell them how much pressure
to use because pain will ruin the effect. Also, it is important that you clear
your head and focus only on the feeling of them brushing your hair. Then ask
them to play with your hair (most of the time you don’t need to ask). Just the
feeling of someone rubbing your scalp and running their hands in your hair, is
wonderful.
Guys
you are not left out of this. Even if you are bald or have very short hair, you
can enjoy the hair twirl as well. Have your loved one take their hands and run
them over your scalp in a massage motion. Once your head is sensitive, then
have them take only the pads of their finger and trace a pattern. This may take
some time to figure out what works best for you, but it can be done.
Also
guys, have you ever twirl your facial hair? This can give you a very similar
experience. Sorry, I can not attest to what it feels like but from what I can
see, most of you like to do it.
In
conclusion, thanks again Blimey for your question. You have inspired me to
think on a topic I haven’t thought on before. I know I now have some new things
I would like to try with my loved ones and I encourage all my readers to try
them as well. Let me know how it works for you and if you have any other whys
that I can talk about with you.
Keep
asking questions.
Love,
DD
