1. The man works on his hair _____.
2. What does the man do if he runs out of hair gel?
I often style my hair after I get out of the shower. I first blow dry my hair (with a blow dryer, of course), put some styling gel in my hair, and then comb my hair to the style I want it. If I run out of hair gel, I use hairspray instead to make my hair stay in place. I’ve noticed I’ve started graying a little around the ears, so I might start using hair coloring to hide the gray hairs. Obviously, looking good is important to me, but I don’t want to appear vain or proud just because I want to look nice.
