Hellooo! I absolutely like your headcanons! Especially the hair one. But I can't help but wonder how would main 6 react to hair care as form of intimacy? And their partner generally liking their hair and trying to touch it or run their hand through them. Best luck and love!

Honestly, I don’t know where I got the washing their hair part of this post, and I apologize that Asra and Julian’s parts are so long haha! I just had so many thoughts about those two!

Hair Care Intimacy with The Main 6

Asra

He looooves this! Run your hands through his hair, help him wash it, brush it, do anything you want with it!

Faust just watches from a corner, both slightly jealous and entertained by Asra’s actions.

They do think it is one of the more intimate actions you can do for another person. You both probably did each other’s hair often before the plague, so it’s quite bittersweet at first. He’ll often reminisce when you start doing it together, and the very first time he definitely sheds tears. They’ll explain why they’re so emotional if you wanted to know. He definitely lets you make it your own again though, finding how you want to do it in the present rather than how you used to.

Asra will reciprocate whatever you give him and double it. You take time out of your day to help him wash his hair? He’s already gotten a bath ready and very specifically picked hair products placed on the side for you when you come home. He knows he doesn’t necessarily have to do any of this, but this is just how his love works.

Faust occasionally feels left out, and now the two of you have a tiny little comb that you fake brush her scales with. She definitely plays into it and does little shivers that go through her whole body.

Brushing Asra’s hair isn’t too difficult with practice, despite the small curls and thickness. Though, it does occasionally puff out if it’s cared for a little rougher than normal. (It’s a cute look, but Asra doesn’t quite agree that it’s suitable for outside the comfort of your home.)

When you go to touch their hair in any way, they actually lean towards you to let you reach it better. They’re such a sap and they don’t care to show it. They also let out a little sigh once your hand finally makes contact.

Julian

Unfortunately, until you wear out the workaholic in him, you’ll often take care of each other. This includes bathing together, doing each other’s hair, swapping cooking duty depending on who’s less wore out, etc. He’ll eventually get his life a little more together, but until then you get to enjoy doing all sort of caring things with each other.

Julian gets very flustered when you both start doing these things. He never thought he’d get to be here, like this, or with you and its enough to make even his ears pink. It’s moments like this that he’ll finally start to relax after his day. He’ll mumble answers to any questions you ask, occasionally asking questions of his own. Times like these will also make him more sentimental on off days. He might ramble about how he didn’t think he’d really make it to this point or how you’re just too kind to him. He knows that you’re stubborn enough to stay, to be part of his fight, but it feels like a dream come true some days!

His hair is the easiest thing to manage. You could pour straight grease on it and it’d perk right up a few hours later. He’s aware of this, so he’d let you put whatever you’d like to in it, (within reason, it needs to have some kind of connection to the hair care world.)

Sometimes he’ll put on an act when you express that you want to touch his hair. It’s all out of love! He’s very playful, acting as though touching his hair is so scandalous..how could you both show your faces the next day after showing such tantalizing behavior?? He always gives in and even encourages it often once he gets that out of the way!

People are actually so used to you both messing with each other’s hair that the day seems incomplete when you don’t. If you manage to make it that far, someone is bound to ask what in the hell is wrong with you two. (It’s Asra, he knows Julian is too insufferable to let that long go by unless something is fishy….and he’s a little curious)

Nadia

She’ll notice right away and there is no stopping it.

Once she does notice, she’ll offer situations for you to touch her hair if that was what you wanted. Though, the one situation she would never put on you is actually brushing her hair. She knows it’s long, she uses special imported products, and she often has to use various methods to get it styled how she’d like.

If you offer or just go straight into brushing her hair, she’ll be delightfully caught off guard. Nadia will mention you didn’t have to and that she appreciates the action. Despite her concerns, her hair is pretty easy to manage, other than being thick. She’ll offer to reciprocate if you’d allow it, and then it’s up to you if you’d like her to try managing your hair.

She doesn’t appreciate it being over the top in public, but she loves when you run your hands through her hair. Playing with her hair so casually in any capacity (with her permission of course,) is something she loves. She takes it as a sign you’re comfortable in your relationship with her, and don’t see her as just the countess. She’ll occasionally brush her own hand through your hair or tuck a stray strand behind your ear.

If you want to help her wash her hair, you’ll both be getting special treatment from the other. She’ll always reciprocate in the shared space of her personal bath. She also thinks it shows that she trusts you just as much as you do her! Nadia loves the intimacy of helping each other unwind after the stress of the palace.

Muriel

I feel like this type of intimate care is a given with Muriel. He gets his own tough love hair treatment from Morga and ends up liking and even keeping the style. Though he will always be a little hesitant to change it up permanently, he’ll let you mess with it from time to time.

Washing his hair is a little more…intimate in his mind, but he’ll allow it! He actually loves it but he’ll keep that fact (verbally) to himself. He won’t return the favor until a little longer, but it pays off. He’s very good at managing hair despite how he treated his own in the past.

He likes the feeling of your fingers at work in his hair. It helps ground him when he’s extremely stressed, and it shows his trust for you. He doesn’t talk much unless you ask him a question once you start messing with his hair. He’ll even lean his head back to make sure you can get to all of it.

Muriel isn’t so confident in his own styling abilities, he doesn’t have much practice. The only way you’ll get him to style your own hair is if you show him how you like to do it. Eventually, he gets to a point he can do it his own way and get the same result.

Inanna forces you both to include her, and if you playfully ignore her whines, she’s not afraid to bite down on your sleeve just hard enough to pull you down. She’s a wolf, so she really doesn’t need to be brushed, but she loves it so much! If you both start brushing her fur, she’ll be in doggy heaven. So much attention!!

Portia

She loves it very much, however her hair is very curly, so if you don’t really know what you’re doing, it could be catastrophic. She’ll teach you how you can handle it without frizzing it up, or making it flatten out if yours isn’t curly, so that you can still express your affections!

She has a routine to go through with her hair, but if you wanted to contribute she’d be so excited! She’ll show you everything she uses, telling you how it works and how to use it. Portia definitely enjoys this form of care very much.

If you offer to help her wash her hair, she’s all for it. She’d love to return the favor if you’d allow it! She thinks these moments are the most precious and caring of them all. She’ll often try and linger, through playful squabbles.

Pepi does not want to partake very much. She can bathe and groom herself thank you! (Though when she finally ends up dirty enough to warrant a bath it is hellfire. No one is left unscathed.)

Lucio

He has such high standards for hair care, I’m so sorry.

Lucio acts very snobbish at first. He’s just so used to having people take care of him with whatever he’d wanted from the palace! He’ll ask what you’ll use, what does it do? Are you sure that one is good for him? Wait why are you walking away?!

You’ll have to run through the whole, no you will not use inappropriate products, yes they are all handpicked, and yes you will be gentle, before he’ll allow it. However, once you get him in that situation you have to absolutely drag him out. He’s so touch starved it is insane. He’ll find ways to get you to keep your hands in his hair, just when you think you’re done, he’ll bring out another excuse until he runs out. At a certain point you’re bound to figure out he’s just bluffing to make you keep going.

He loves having your hands in his hair in any situation. It does make him a little sleepy/slow his brain down significantly, but he doesn’t stop talking while this happens. He just kinda, slows down. It’s very amusing to watch him sluggishly put words together while his eyes fight to stay open. If you do it too long though, Melchior and Mercedes get a little jealous over the two of you. Melchior will often push himself between the two of you to get your attention while Mercedes just throw herself next to Lucio.

If you want to touch his hair any other time, he tries to act like he doesn’t care. It doesn’t work. He‘ll let you have your way more often than not though! (He does get his revenge though, and definitely messes up your hair ten times worse.)
