Pronunciation: prep hair ed ness

Sentence: Tressa had touched up her roots and trimmed her bangs the night before. She showered and shampooed her hair three times that morning. She then blew dry her hair with a rolling brush, styled her hair with mousse and curled it with her curling iron. After spending three hours doing her hair, she declared a state of prephairedness and she rushed out of the house to get to her 10:00 am hair appointment. When her stylist saw the roots and her bangs, she asked who had done this to her hair. She replied, "Why, you did!" Little did she know that hair stylists have forensic skills and after intense questioning, our client broke down and admitted her desperation. Her stylist said, "Why Tressa of the Ubervilles, all you had to do was make your appointment a few days sooner!"

Etymology: preparedness(the state of having been made ready or prepared for use or action) & Hair (any of the cylindrical filaments characteristically growing from the epidermis of a mammal;dense growth of hairs covering the body or parts of it (as on the human head); helps prevent heat loss)
