Hair of the dog?

What does everyone think about Cordelia's hairstyle in AtS S3 & S4? I had a scene in IGtbP in which Buffy speaks scathingly about that blonde bob, and my wife (beta reader) objected to the criticism and said that she thought it had looked nice.

Personally I think she's insane or else just isn't remembering properly just how bloody awful CC looked with that style, but if her opinion is widely shared I'd have to revise the scene.

I'm not talking about her S4 pregnancy, just the hairstyle and dye job that she had on returning from Mexico in 3 x 19 "Double or Nothing".

The hair problem

Everyone seems unanimous that Cordy's late AtS S3 hair was ghastly. Unfortunately, my wife remains absolutely adamant that it was the nicest hairstyle CC's ever had and objects strenuously to everything I write criticising it. She's brought in my daughter to support her, and daughter says that in the discussion boards she frequents Cordy's blonde bob was greeted with rapturous applause.

This is a big problem for me. After all, what's the point in having a beta reader if you ignore their opinions?

It's not a trivial matter; Buffy slagging off Cordy's hair is perfectly feasible even if it did look nice, but Spike's opinion of the hairstyle is actually an important plot point. If he liked the hair it would spin things off in an entirely new direction and necessitate at least one extra chapter. Alas, if I don't have him like it then I'm not going to get any tonight.

So I'm going to have to shelve the writing for a little while.
