I have been argueing with my boyfriend for weeks now, I'm tearing my hair out bacause we can't find any solution and solve the problem, I'm trying to keep my hair on but sometimes it's hard. Maybe a good way to forget about it would be a night out letting our hair down together.

I never let my hair down. Because, I think that it's not respectable and for me personally it's sign of laziness. But sometimes I let myself to keep my hair on a little bit, but it's very seldom. So, I always try to don't keep my hair on and I never tear my hair out - just cut.

It's extremely difficult to keep your hair on in Dubai facing such deadly hot weather, especially when you are tearing your hair out due to some troubls in your work. But anyway, you still need to let your hair down because this is your life:)

I know tearing my hair is the worst thing so I always try to keep my hair on when I face various obstacles. Sometime I'm serious in studying and working without letting my hair down.

Once, during a staff meeting I started feeling up set, because I over heard someone say: I gibe a damn about this problem. Then when I tried to object him, a friend of mine said in low voice let your heir down. At first I didn't grasp the meaning of this phrasal verbs, but looking at the context I could figure it out that he wanted me to calm down.

when I was at my university I always did homework. One day I felt tired and decided to let my hair down. The day after I went to class in bad mood and unfortunathely the teacher checked my finishing homework and of course consequentlyI was punished by being on duty all week. Since then I always finish my tasks.whenever I see people who are quareling I tell them keep their hair on.people say I am the kind of person who is very easy to be angry with. Indeed, I also think it's true. you know I like put every thing randomly in my room and I hate some one to put them in order. When it comes I always become mad. Once, my mother came in my room while I was out. Of couse she cleaned up my room and reorder everything. After that I was back home and couldn't find the essay which had took me much time to finish. Moreover I do not like writing essay and couldn't remember annything about the essay I wrote. so you can magine how I felt at that time. But I must tear my hair out.
