I was up relatively early (I prefer early relatives to late relatives, although we're all late eventually) and toddled out to the greengrocer's to fondle some fresh produce.
"I hope you don't think I'm being rude," says the teenage woman behind the counter. (oh shit here we go. That sort of phrase is always the prelude to trouble, along with 'I'm not being funny, but...') "But I really love your hair."
Well, colour me surprised and not a little cheered by that.
Elsewhere, this chap writes a great deal of sense.

Also, good hair is generally an indicator of good health and so on. The girl was responding to her cultural and biological programming (i.e. that chap is a suitable mate).
I think it is great that the two of you have such nice looking hair. While I was out and about with your wife, she received many unsolicited compliments on her hair too. In my mind, you are The Good Hair Couple.

Part of it is probably due to the lack of chemicals in the Lush products.
