Lucius wondered if they were right.
They couldn't be, though, could they?
Surely everyone took this amount of time to ensure that their hair was absolutely perfect. He knew Draco did, because a quick brush through beautiful locks simply wasn't enough to do perfection justice.
Narcissa's hair was so much easier to deal with: she simply had to put it up, and it only looked more beautiful if stands came loose over the course of the day.
It was different for them, men. A gust of wind could cause a perfect hairstyle to look like a rat's nest, take Harry Potter's hair as a prime example of that! Being the Lord that he was, Lucius simply couldn't help but be anything but a maniac about the neatness of his hair. It simply would not do to turn up unkept as if he had stumbled out of bed that morning.
He had a reputation to keep, and even Draco knew of its importance.
If he had to behave like a bit of a maniac to acquire all the necessities, so be it.
