Plus: How should I respond to questions about my hair?
: How you feel about the situation is not for etiquette to judge, but Miss Manners sees why your neighbors would be squeamish telling you about a party to which you were not, well, a party.
But that does not put them under an obligation to do so. The guilty parties are the ones who never responded at all.: I have long hair, worn in ringlets, which sometimes draws compliments as well as questions. I’ve been surprised multiple times by women asking me, in front of others at a party or gathering, “Is your hair natural?”
What’s the best way to handle these questions? I find the questions inappropriate, and am left shaking my curly head.Miss Manners understands that this is not an answer to the question that was actually asked; rather, it is a response to its subtext, which was, “Admit that it takes time and effort for you to look this good.”: When my brother, his family and I attended a wedding that was held six hours away, I drove my car, and my brother rode with me.
