How can they be so specific, wouldn't it potentially affect other hair ?

And Christina being sane as usual. Sounds like her Mum had a pretty positive approach, stuff like that is sometimes in danger of veering over the line into "Failure is not an option!" territory but this sounds like it stayed the right side, more like "Failure's always a possibility but there's almost always something to take from it too" (which you can tell is more sensible by the lack of exclamation points).
