HAIR
Light-coloured hair is called blond(e) or fair, and reddish-brown hair is called ginger, auburn or red. As people get older 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.
