I did quite a bit of research on hair in the course of writing this novel, and I couldn't get around the fact that ladies slept upright to preserve their hair-styles, that they never touched their own hair, and that vermin sometimes moved in to stay. Poppy's allergy to hair powder was pure agony. So when she allows Fletch to cut her hair, it signals that she's taking control over her own body and, metaphorically, seizing the right to pleasure over fashion.
