PART A_2

I’ve been thinking about dyeing my hair rose pink. What do you think?
Rose pink–that’s weird for a hair color. Where did you get the idea?

Have you been living under a rock, brother? It’s a new fashion trend. My favorite actress dyed her hair rose pink, too. It looks good on her.
I’m sure it would look nice on you, too. Anyway, wouldn’t your hair get damaged from all those chemicals?

I dyed my hair blond before, and I never had any problem with my hair, then. I think my hair’s going to be fine.
Well, as long as it won’t cause any damage on your hair, then I support you in dyeing it.
