Murray responded in good humour, saying: “Haha I don’t take as good care of mine as you! I saw you checking your hair out during the photoshoot yesterday #silkysmooth.”
He added: “However you do have beautiful hair.”
Federer replied: “It’s all about the hair Andy. You know that.”
Murray then tweeted an old picture of himself with a huge mop of curly hair. He wrote to Federer: “Let me know if you ever want to go down this route. Think it would be good for your image.”
As the conversation went viral, with thousands of re-tweets and responses, Murray closed off the session with a reference to a popular shampoo advert.
He wrote: “My Twitter has gone into meltdown since the hair conversation I’m going to get ready for practice! Have a great day... Because you’re worth it.”
Fans were delighted with Murray’s half-hour online chat, which saw the Dunblane based star answer questions from around the world.

Even an account claiming to represent the Wimbledon Roof, long a source of tension with tennis players as it opens and shuts according to the weather, got involved.
It asked: “Do you still hate me? Can’t we just be friends?” To which Murray replied: “I don’t hate you! You’re just a bit too humid for my liking but I’d still take you out for a drink.”
