Isn't that sweet?

As she's a plant, I'm sure Castela is attuned to the rhythms of nature, and can really appreciate a fresh morning hair dew!

Pun Jar. Now.

Just wait until Nudge decides to style Pickle's hair.

ERGMAHGERD!!!! TEH KEWTS!!!!!

Atsali was also going to color Castela's hair but she couldn't get down to the roots.

I couldn't recall the Artist...

"If you're a fly gal,
then get your nails done.
Get a pedicure, get your hair did."

"Work It", Missy Elliot

Indeed that could be quite a thorny problem to handle.

She sure did, didn't she Castela?

Considering her hair is wood, or plant fiber, would she get her hair stained instead of dyed? Instead of hair spray would she use polyurethane to hold its shape and glistening color? Then to clean it all she would need is liquid gold and a cloth. If she didn't like it should would then just wait for it to varnish?

So, on Formal Occasions, instead if a Hair Dresser, we call in the Basket Weaver...

(places some Burdock Root Oil into the Pun Jar, to stimulate growth of the Jar's flowing locks)

(that's not "flowing lox", by the way. If it were I'd be offering this which, although it's also high in essential fatty acids, is probably not what Castela would want to have used on her hair.)

(and I definitely would not recommend this as a hair dressing for young Castela. We don't want there to be any unfortunate accidents.)

All those puns... don't dew that...

why the heck would she want to wash her hair in LOX? wouldn't it be just a wee too bit cold?

No, that's just a lox myth... a key misunderstanding in popular culture, which comes from the Irish legend about Finn Mac Cool and the Salmon of Knowledge I imagine.

HUH? what the heck does a Salmon of Knowledge have to do with LIQUID OXYGEN??

Acronym collision - "lox" can refer to Liquid Oxygen, or to a dish made from salmon. The latter is why I originally used the term as a play on the words "flowing locks" with a reference to salmon oil.

So, I decided to play further and bring together Fin Mac Cool (for your "too cold" question) and the Salmon of Knowledge (for lox, as a way of serving salmon).

AaaHah!... "i see" said the blind carpenter as he picked up his hammer and saw... i thought that you just hadn't clicked the link to the Periodic Videos video...

I saw it, and quite enjoyed it... fascinating to see the fiery reaction, slowed down like that.

I've played around a bit with various forms of "liquid air" over the years, but never with lox... a bit too potentially explosive for my comfort level

Heh. Back in the Sixties, my parents and i had to explain some terminology to each other so that we could mutually understand a pun in his Alan Sherman's song "Don't Buy the Liverwurst".

I didn't know what lox (brined salmon)_ was, and they didn't know what LOX (liquid oxygen) was, or NASA-speak, so none of us individually grasped what was supposed to be funny (in a song about the offerings of a kosher deli) about the line "...the lox puts you in orbit A-OK..."
