western and midwestern <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>),
the idiom "to let one's hair down"<br>
has the senses that Dick mentioned: "relax and be yourself,<br>
casual, no airs or cover up." I could understand it as "drop<br>
one's reserve and inhibitions" only if I assumed that the<br>
person's reserve and inhibitions were due to what other people<br>
would think of him/her (thus it would be an extension of the<br>
"relax and be yourself, casual, no airs or cover up" sense.) I<br>
can't think of any context where I would understand "to let one's<br>
hair down" with the sense "to say be frank, to say what is on<br>
your mind, to speak from one's heart." (To communicate this, I<br>
could explicitly say "Let your hair down. Say what you really<br>
think.")<br>
<br>
Since Fritz's original question was about "how anglophones (from<br>
different parts of the world)" use the idiom, I'd find it<br>
interesting to know where these other senses are used. (And if<br>
they are used in the western and/or midwestern <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>, I'd be<br>
interested in knowing the age of the speaker.)<br>

but I think that it can only be used in that sense when the restriction<br>
that is relaxed is due to reserve as opposed, say, to a desire not<br>
to offend one's interlocuter. For example, I remember an occasion<br>
in which someone I had met when he was a student in one of my classes<br>
with whom I had become friendly asked me how I could stand certain<br>
mutual acquaintances, whom he correctly regarded as racist. This is<br>
a situation that I would describe as "letting our hair down", because<br>
the reason we had not previously spoken about such things is that we did<br>
not know each other well and had started out in the student-teacher<br>
relationship. On the other hand, if I am with a close friend I have<br>
known for many years and say something that I think may upset her,<br>
that could be described as being frank or blunt but not as<br>
"letting our hair down" because my reservations about speaking so<br>
bluntly were not due to the reserved nature of the relationship.<br>

As a native English speaker , BrE by birth, with 20+ years in the South-East
USA, I think of this as someone who is generally uptight who lets go of
(typically female) her inhibitions, perhaps drinks a few drinks, dances with
office colleagues -- and maybe regrets it the next day. For me, there's a
definite perception of relaxing among people with whom one generally has a more
formal relationship.<br>
<br>
I would never ever think of this as meaning to speak from one's heart. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
