[Steph takes the brush back, and nudges the log she'd been using as a seat a bit, so that she's sitting behind Collette, rather than next to her. She starts brushing Collette's hair in small sections, making sure to gently get any knots out.]

My friend's and I used to do each other's hair all the time, we couldn't afford fancy clothes or lots of make up, but we could do our hair up nice if we were going out.

[Not that they... didn't have some nice clothes and make up anyway, because shoplifting is a thing, but Steph tended to avoid that.]

I reckon you'd look nice with short hair, but yeah, it takes getting used to, and growing it back is hell.

[She cut hers into a bob once, out of sheer frustration from dealing with her long hair and her mask.]
