History Main / HairFlip

** An especially hillarious version in ''Spirit of Justice'' with [[spoiler: [[PosthumousCharacter the channeled spirit of Tahrust Inmee]] who, having been a case of BaldOfAwesome in life, is clearly milking the fact he's being channeled through Maya Fey for all it's worth by doing this.]]

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Flipping your hair]]. This can vary from running your hand through your hair to brushing a few locks out of your eyes to giving your RapunzelHair a good toss, but it almost always conveys nearly the same things: confidence, arrogance, vanity. As such, it is a gesture most often employed by {{Bishounen}}, TheOjou or the AlphaBitch, though kinder characters can also use it to merely accentuate their femininity or show that they're in a good mood. A bishounen's hair flip is usually accompanied with a large helping of BishieSparkle--females are also accompanied by SlowMotion. Another variation is when a woman tilts her head at 45 degrees and delivers eye contact in a come hither look.
