Well, of course, everyone has
some habit whether it is good or bad. And when it comes to Meghan Markle she
touches her hair—constantly. She is often noticed fidgeting with her hair
during public appearances.
And apparently, this is a sign
that Meghan is trying to stay calm in chaotic situations, according to body
language experts.
Blanca Cobb, body language
expert and author of Method of the Masters, talked about this with
GoodHousekeeping.com.
She says: “Some people touch
their hair, play with their fingernails, or rub their arms, as a way to psychologically
and physiologically calm themselves when they’re feeling anxious, uncomfortable, or stressed.
Some people might touch, twirl
or stroke their hair when in awkward social situations such as when they’re not
sure what to do or what to say.”
“It’s the adult version of a
child clutching favorite toy, mother’s skirt or father’s hand when feeling
anxious and not knowing what to do or say,” she said.
But talking about Meghan we
want to know whether this hair-fidgeting it’s a sign of her behavior. Or it is
just a bad habit.
“Context is key when
distinguishing a habit from a nonverbal tell,” Cobb says. “For example, if
someone frequently touches their hair in a variety of non-stressful situations
such as talking on the phone, reading a book, or watching TV then it’s more
likely a habit they’re not even aware of. If, however, they tend to touch their
hair when having a heated discussion or they’re uncomfortable with someone
around them, then it’s more likely a body language tells.”
