"By the way, I like your hair"
"Oh, thank you. Well, get your fill now, I'm shaving it off in a few weeks"
"All of it?"
"Yup."
"Jesus Christ. Don't"
"I've kind of already got my mind made up."
"Just don't, it'll be awful. Why are you doing it?"
"Because I think it'll look nice, and I'm trying to understand why our culture is so hung up on hair, why nearly everyone I tell acts like it's the worst thing I could do"
"I'm not hung up on your hair. I just don't think you'll look very pretty without it."
"Right."
This is not every conversation, but it's and example of the usual. I'll get into this more later.
