An unconscious gesture? Rather not

Hand in the hair - why only? The? Frankfurter Allgemeine Magazin? answered this question and asked influencers for reasons for a popular gesture.

Instagram star Caro Daur justified her with the fact that a photo is visually better? and dynamic work. She also said that the grasp on the hair happens unconsciously, which seems unlikely in a completely staged world.

"Subtle than the stupid bite on the lip"

Christian Janecke, on the other hand, sees the hand in his hair as an expression of sexual communication. The professor of art history at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach has extensively dealt with the staging of hair. He has always been seen as a "mediate form of female eroticism," he is quoted as saying.

The hand in the hair is a much more subtle form of eroticism than stretching buttocks or breasts towards the camera lens. "This eroticism," says Janecke, "does not fall into the house with the door, and it's more subtle than the stupid bite on the lip." And thus apparently less sympathetic than the offensively sexual pose.

Even Ovid stood on seemingly casually disheveled hairstyles

Incidentally, the inventor of the subtle erotic hair was said to be the Roman poet Ovid, who already celebrated the unfairness more than 2,000 years ago, during which the woman seems to casually shape her hair with her hands. He is said to have even instructed women to please the men.



However, the seemingly casual grip on the hair has long been a common fashion pose, as not only the FN cover with Alexa Chung shows. And somewhere woman has to go with her hands. Why not put your hair in it to get a good look at the carefully groomed headdress.
