bad hair day

I have highly variable hair. Nice sometimes - bad others. My hair often frizzes on contact with moisture.

Normally it doesn't matter too much, but today I was helping to run an event. The weather in London was damp and drizzly.

At lunch I said to a colleague "I'm having a bad hair day and it's only getting worse."

Now, guys and gals, everyone knows the correct response is: "It's fine. It looks nice. Don't be silly."

I got: "It's the humidity," and a sympathetic smile.
