Bad Hair Study NEW HAVEN, Conn.--Bad hair days affect not just what's on your head, but what's in it. A Yale University study of the psychology of bad hair days found that people's self-esteem goes awry when their hair is out of place. They feel less smart, less capable, more embarrassed and less sociable. And contrary to popular belief, men's self-esteem may take a greater licking than women's when their hair just won't behave. Men were more likely to feel less smart and less capable when their hair stuck out, was badly cut or was otherwise mussed. "The cultural truism is men are not affected by their appearance," said Marianne LaFrance, the Yale professor who conducted the study. "This is not just the domain of women." The study was paid for by Procter & Gamble, which makes shampoo and plans a new hair-care line called Physique.

Lip Prints According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirrors leaving dozens of little lip prints. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every day. To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the custodian to clean one of the mirrors. He proceeded to take out a long-handled brush, dip it into the nearest toilet and scrub the mirror. Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirrors.
