HAIR
Light-coloured

they might go grey.
In order to make your hair tidy or style it you brush or comb it. You wash it with shampoo and use a hairdryer to blow-dry it. You can part it/have a parting in the middle or on one side, and you might have a fringe (US bangs). When you go to the hairdresser's
you can have your hair cut or trimmed. You might also have it
permed or coloured. A barber is a male hairdresser who only cuts men's hair.
