BTW, Judy, when you provide us with this list of
the scenes that match your descriptions of Mary
McDonnell's hair below, know that I have my own
digital copy of the film and will post screenshots 
of each of the scenes you point us to, so that 
everyone can see whether your description of
how her hair looks in that scene matches theirs.

Remember, you're looking for:
1. "slovenly looking"
2. "wild and savage"
3. "matted and tangled"
4. "a snarled, dirty-looking mess"
5. "looks like a rat's nest"
6. "looking like a slattern"

Have a nice intellectually-honest day.  :-)
