英语词汇let your hair down的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

let your hair down. I can’t find an old quotation to support the theory, but this expression may have originated in the days of Louis XIV, when elaborate hairstyles such as the fontange, a pile of style that rose two feet and more above the wearer’s head, were popular among Frenchwomen. These styles were such a nuisance that several were actually banned by the Sun King. Certainly none permitted informality or intimacy, and only when a woman let down her hair at night in privacy did she relax any and shed at least one inhibition.
