The Mysteries of Salsa

Dear Wonders of the World,

I love dancing with my boys. Toronto has some fabulous talent and our men don’t disappoint, but there is one thing that puzzles me. It doesn’t matter if I have an impromptu dance in my socks or if I wear 3.5 inch heels – if my hair is in a ponytail, it will inevitably get knocked around and my hair will be a hot mess by the end of the song.

I just don’t get it! The guys seem to be able to compensate for the varying heights of different women, or the varying heights of a woman’s shoes from day to day…but put her hair up, and the ‘do is done for.

I notice this in my travels as well, so the phenomenon is not native to my city. I don’t like getting my head knocked. So, please explain to me why this happens?

Love,

Me
