Explanation
Hair: long, short, straight, curly, blond, dark. There are two ways: “She has long hair” or “Her hair is long.” Face and eyes: a round face, a square face, big eyes, a small nose. Pronouns: he – his (his hair), she – her (her eyes), it – its (its nose). The adjective comes before the noun and never changes: round faces, long hair (not long hairs!).
