[post_page_title]”Let one’s hair down”[/post_page_title]
When told to let your hair down, you’re not being asked to physically remove your hair ties and let your hair loose. Rather, it is a metaphor for relaxing and being at ease.
The idiom is a reference to the 17th century, when there was an expectation for aristocratic women to have their hair pinned up at all times, often in complex and extravagant styles. The only time they could let their hair down was in the privacy of their own homes and could relax without scrutiny.
