Are you wondering why women play with their hair when they’re talking to you? If so, keep reading, because this guide covers the main reasons why women do this.
While it’s commonly suggested that women play with their hair when they’re attracted to a man, it could also be that she’s nervous. It might also be a habit they’ve picked up, regardless of how they’re feeling, which means nothing at all.
The guide below covers the three main reasons why women play with their hair – and how you should respond if you spot a woman you like doing this in your vicinity.
3 Reasons Why Women Play With Their Hair
Here are the three most common reasons why women play with their hair in front of men.
She’s Attracted
It’s suggested that women play with their hair as a method of drawing attention to it. A lot of guys are attracted to a woman’s hair. It was voted as the second most attractive female body part in a recent poll, behind her face.
Indeed, when they’re attracted to a man, women are also prone to brushing their hair away from their face to give him a better view.
On top of that, it’s a common strategy for women to flick their hair as a means of grabbing a man’s attention from across the room.
She’s Nervous
Humans are prone to twiddling with any object they can get their hands on when they’re nervous. In fact, it’s one of the most commonly cited signs of anxiety.
Long-haired women might play with their hair above anything else to calm their nerves, because this stimulates the nerves around their hair follicles, often causing a calming or even pleasurable sensation. (Note: this is why a lot of women like their hair being pulled in the bedroom).
It’s A Habit, Which Means Nothing
There are several forums online where this question of why women play with their hair has been asked. A lot of women have responded to these posts, suggesting that it could mean anything or nothing, and that people shouldn’t read too deeply into it at all.
What Should I Do if I See a Woman Playing With Hair?
If you’re attracted to a woman, you should approach her, regardless of whether she’s playing with her hair or not.
A lot of men like to wait for a ‘sign’ that a woman is attracted to them before they approach, but this is mostly due to cowardice or stupidity.
Women tend to be attracted to a man’s personality more than their looks, so it makes no sense to wait for a hair flick or any other sign of interest before introducing yourself to her. Even if she’s not attracted to you from afar, you can walk over, wow her with your charisma and inspire her to want to date you. That’s one of the key advantages of being a man.
Confident men with the audacity to walk over as soon as they see a woman they like will create far more dating opportunities for themselves. The guys who wait for a ‘sign’ to approach women are limiting themselves to those who think they’re good-looking.

Final Thoughts
Now you know the main reasons why women play with their hair around men.
The problem is: these reasons are so different from one another. So, honestly, there’s no reason to pay too much attention to this behavior.
There are much clearer signs that a woman will show if she likes you, or if she doesn’t. You’re better off assuming she likes you until it becomes clearer that this is not the case.
