Many Americans Admit To Calling In Sick Over Bad Hair Days

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- It can happen pretty easily in the winter: a bad hair day. Between hats, wind and snow it can get pretty dire.

A new survey shows that the average American says they have 95 bad hair days a year.

All but one in five say they have stayed home instead of leaving the house over bad hair, and one-third of those surveyed actually called in sick over a bad hair day.

Furthermore, half of those polled cancelled a date over hair issues.

The most common hair "ailments" were thin and lifeless-looking hair, followed by strange cowlicks.

In all, 2,000 Americans were polled to arrive at these findings.
