"You haven't said anything about my hair, Jack."
"I thought 'twould be better manners ta let you broach that subject."
"What do you think about it? Really."
"Chit, I can't honestly say I consider that hue ta be any improvement."
"Well it wasn't supposed to come out this way- the package said 'Bright Purple'! I didn't think it would look like... like..."
"Like a plum rinsed in cow manure?"
"Yeah. That."
"Well, Lysee, I've never been a professional hairdresser, but I suspect dimestore hair dye isn't formulated ta combine well with your particular shade. Natural medium-copper-blonde is exceptional."
"Do you think I oughta let it grow back?"
"I would, if it were mine. General opinion regards your hair color ez one to change to, not from."
"But I wanna do something different with it! Maybe... I've been thinking about putting it in dredlocks."
"Now theer's a matter on which I can speak with some expertise. I'd not advise it fer your hair texture; it's too fine-stranded. All too probably, ye'll end up with a few widely-spaced rattail mats."

"No barrettes- those are for little kids!"
"I had somethin' else in mind. You could try braidin' in a few small items. Preferably some what hold meanin' for ya. Souvenir pendants, coins..."
"Oh! Like you do when you wear your pirate costume?"
"Aye, theer's an example you could follow."
"That might be good. But, I'll haveta wait 'til my hair grows a little longer."
"Which means you'll have time ta locate an' prepare some appropriate objects, lass. If you've picked up any bonnie pebbles or snail shells on yer vacation trips, theer's establishments what can drill holes in 'em, so they're usable as hair beads."
"I like that idea!"
"'An' if yer dissatisfied with the way they look, you can always rearrange them. Or remove 'em entirely, unlike... ah..."
"Unlike my hideous disgusting-colored hair dye."
"'Twas you who said it, Lysander. Not me!"
