Beauty Advice??

One of the yards I work on is the "Sensitive Needs Yard."  It's comprised of gang dropouts, gays, wanna-be girls, and other unmentionables.  Just before Christmas I went to see my miracle worker (hairstylist).  My yucky gray hair with a variety of home-coloring attempts at beauty was transformed into a cute style with blond and gold highlights over a dark background.  Yesterday an inmate told me, "Ms. D, that hair color doesn't look good."  "Oh really," I said.  He said, "Yeah, you should go for auburn."  "Really?" (Said with my cute little sarcastic tone.) "And you need to use Head and Shoulders."  "Really, do I have dandruff?"  "No, but you have split ends and Head and Shoulders works best for split ends."  He then went on to say he worked in the beauty industry on the streets.  I just wrinkled my brow at him and walked away.  But I have to say that I am intrigued about adding auburn to my hair and even trying Head and Shoulders.  What do you all think?
