Alice wants to dye her hair black. Or bleach it blonde. Whichever naturally occuring colour she wanted, it turns out a very different and thoroughly ridiculous colour--usually green, though other strange hues pop up. Sometimes, the only thing to do is to shave the head and let the hair grow back.

* In Robert Service's poem ''The Baldness of Chewed-Ear'', Chewed-Ear Jenkins wagers $1,000 that his wife can't cure his baldness. The wife tries every hair tonic she can find, even selling stock to Chewed-Ear's friends so they'll try their own ideas on him. When their combined ministrations start to work, Chewed-Ear tries to cheat them by shaving and applying hair-destroying drugs to his scalp when they're not looking. The unholy combination of hair restorers and hair destroyers eventually makes the hair come in - ''green''.
