- Left over Right. Right over Left. Cat of nine tails, nine lots of plaits!
- Plaits ~ mothers', daughters', aunts'. Tangles that hurt ~ pain. Tasks you repeat daily.
- Women talking, chatting, gossiping. Talking about men, about not being understood, too much talk!
- Tasks, go slow, you'll be onto the next soon enough, children, meals, get lost in the process.
- Chinese, African, Scandinavian plaits, South American, Native American plaits, all over the world plaited heads.
- Things happening behind me, behind my back, pulling my head, not sure what's happening.
- Hairdressers, having hair cut, always too much too short, talking to images.
- Rights of passage, public ritual, ceremony. Plaits on show horses. After confirmation no more plaits.
- Haste, hurry get your hair done before the school bus goes without you!
