理发师：您的头发要继续留这么长吗？还是要稍微短一点？

baber: ok. i think you would look cute with short hair. that hair style fits you perfectly. your hair seems quite dry, you know. and i see some split ends. they make your hair look even frizzier.
理发师：好的。我认为您剪短头发一定很好看，那个发型很适合你。你的头发看起来挺干的，还有分叉，这让你的头发看起来更毛燥。

吉娜：是的，但是我也不知道怎么办才好。
baber: well, there are two things you can do. first, don't blow-dry your hair for so long after you shower. let it dry naturally. second,buy a good conditioner and use it regularly.
理发师：你可以用两种方法：第一，洗头后头发不要吹太久，让它自然干。第二，经常使用一些好的润发乳。
jina: do you sell conditioner here?
吉娜：你们这儿卖润发乳吗？
baber: sure. i can suggest one for you.
