~untying the ribbon at the bottom of her long golden braid, she unbraids her hair, humming softly to herself~

~pulling a comb out of her back pocket, she starts to comb her hair......slowly and methodically, like she does every night before bed~

~finally done, she picks up the scissors and watching in the mirror, cuts off a long chunk of hair at about chin length, watching it fall to the floor...she grins and continues cutting her hair.....when she finishes, she sets the scissors on the counter and looks down at the floor where all her hair is.......she grins and then looks in the mirror at her fairly even cutting job, picking up a small hand-held mirror and admiring the back...sighing happily...she picks up the bottle of hair dye and reads the instructions.....~

~going over to the bathtub, she kneels down and turns on the water, getting it at a perfect lukewarm and sticks her now shorter golden hair under the faucet, wetting it thoroughly.....picking up the hair dye bottle, she puts on the gloves supplied with it and starts to rub the dye into her hair......humming happily to herself now~

~after waiting the allotted fifeteen minutes with a huge towel draped around her shoulders, she rinses her hair......grinning to herself, she towels her hair dry and drops the towel in the hamper, stepping barefooted into the circle of her once golden hair.....she looks in the mirror....~

Just what I wanted....

~she grins happily, her hair now bright red and bends down and picks up as much of her hair as she can find, throwing it in the wastebasket....then she slips out of the bathroom and reenters the main room......her hair exactly how she wanted it to be~

((Note: This was done in the castle because I was really bored and wanted a change...Hell, it was her ninth birthday!)
