There is a nice little hair cutting vignette earlier on in the story arc, but by this point our heroine has spent a hell of a lot of time away from the ‘schoolroom’ unit she has been kept in - wherein she had been under an ultra-strict boarding school / reform school regime – and her hair has been allowed to grow back a little. Not to worry though, the institution is not becoming lackadaisical over discipline - far from it. It transpires that this is no oversight. But I can say no more; other than it doesn’t stay this way!<br /><br />By the way; I like the idea of haphazard shearing rather than head shaving - that way it grows back unevenly – if it is allowed to!Toyntanenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01964511433148028640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970502759702586204.post-61150507285497486112010-03-30T17:08:19.585+01:002010-03-30T17:08:19.585+01:00Why is she given a boyishly styled haircut in the ...Why is she given a boyishly styled haircut in the institution?
