> no one else thinks about your hair besides you

To expand on that, my favorite quote (from Eleanor Roosevelt, who seems to have been quite quotable...):

"You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do."

I totally agree. People are almost 100% caught up in themselves, and barely have time to think about their own family, much less friends, acquaintances, and last of all strangers.

This reminds me of Casablanca:

  Ugarte:  You despise me, don't you?
  Rick:    If I gave you any thought I probably would.

Ginsberg: I feel bad for you.

Draper: I don’t think about you at all.

Well of course they don’t actively worry about your hair, but most certainly it’s one of the factors on whether people find you attractive or not. And that can still have real consequences even if people aren’t “worried about you.”

And the issue of whether people generally care misses the point. A man wants her to find him attractive.

Beauty is well researched & documented to affect one's social standing, how much people trust you, career success, mate/family success, and many other factors.
