RESPONSE>> Describe how girls can do their hair in various styles.

Girls place a lot of weight on their hairstyles.
ex> This university places a lot of weight on extracurricular activities.

When girls are young, their mothers will often do their hair for them.

They’ll usually do something quick and easy.

For example, a ponytail, pigtails, or a clean-cut bun.
* ponytail: 한 갈래로 묶은 머리
* pigtail: 양쪽으로 두갈래로 묶은 머리
* clean-cut bun: 깔끔하게 올려 묶은 머리

As girls get older, they may put more time and effort into their hair.
ex> He put time and effort into planning this party.

Many will cut bangs for a new look.
* get bangs (=cut bangs) 앞머리를 자르다
ex> She cut bangs to try and look younger.

Others will use curling irons to put waves in.
* curling iron: 고데기
ex> I burnt my hand on my curling iron.

Many use hair straighteners to make their hair perfectly straight.

Some girls also braid their hair.
* braid one's hair: 머리를 땋다
ex> She can braid her hair in about five minutes

Overall, girls have a choice between putting their hair up or keeping their hair down.
ex> I decided to put my hair up for the dance party.
ex> I noticed she always keeps her hair down.
