Hair dictionary: "Let your hair down"

Let your hair down
 
What people think it means: letting your hair fall freely
 
What it really means: behaving in a free or uninhibited manner. The phrase was first used in the 1800s century for women who usually kept their hair pinned up, only letting it down in private, particularly before bathing or heading to bed – the times when they would be most relaxed.
