We’ve all had that one person in our lives who seems to have an opinion about everything, especially when it’s not needed. Meet Sally, the friend of our protagonist’s grandma, who just can’t seem to keep her thoughts about our protagonist’s hair to herself. Our protagonist (25, F) has been dyeing her hair blonde for the past three years, and she loves it. She takes great care of her hair, but Sally keeps insisting that it looked better when it was dark and short. Let’s dive into this hair-raising conflict and see how our protagonist finally decides to stand up for herself.
