Idle Question

[lightofdaye]

Luna's hair is often described as dirty blonde. But does she have 'dirty blonde' hair, or dirty 'blonde hair'? ie) blonde hair that is unclean or hair that is a dirty blonde colour.

I'd thought the former and seen it at least one fic, where Harry cleans it for her. But recently it occured to me that dirty blonde is description people do use for hair colour. So *shrug*

I've always thought it was the colour not the state of being.

I always pictured her as a sort of flower-child hippie chick. Not necessarily dirty, just more 'homeopathic', if you get my meaning? In my head canon it wouldn't be absurd for her to give Ginny and Neville crystals to ward off evil in Gryffindor Tower. That kind of vibe.
