Is is proper English to say getting your hair DID or DONE?

The proper English is "getting your hair done."

While you might hear people say "getting your hair did" in casual conversation, especially in some regions, it is considered grammatically incorrect and less formal.

Here's why:

* "Done" is the past participle of the verb "to do," and it's used in this context to mean "styled" or "arranged."

* "Did" is the past tense of the verb "to do." It doesn't make sense grammatically in this phrase.

Examples:

* "I'm getting my hair done for the wedding."

* "She went to the salon to get her hair done."

So, stick with "getting your hair done" for the most grammatically correct and widely accepted way to say it!
