I take it you're a man who can really respect styled, pulled back hair. ( said so very smoothly and with a straight face, but there's still edge of humour in there somewhere. really, how could she not notice the care he put into his own hair? and the idea of using hair gel herself? she nearly laughed at that. ) The tighter, the better, is it?

Or do you just like it weighted down and trussed into a pleasing shape? I know that kind of thing can be satisfying to look at.
