In Chapter 5 on page 72, of the SPEAK Penguin Group edition, Ponyboy and Johnny cut their hair. After Johnny returns from the store with various items, Ponyboy spots a bottle of Peroxide and asks Johnny if he's thinking about bleaching their hair. Johnny explains to Ponyboy that it is imperative that they cut their hair, and Ponyboy bleaches his, in order to disguise their identity. He tells Ponyboy that the authorities have their descriptions, and if they want to remain unnoticed, they'll need to take this measure of precaution. Ponyboy laments about having to cut his hair. Ponyboy states that he has pride in his "tuff-looking" hair and says it is their greaser trademark. Johnny tells Ponyboy that they'll have to cut it anyway if they get caught, so they might as well go through with it. Johnny takes his razor and saws Ponyboy's long hair off, then bleaches it. Ponyboy is upset at his new haircut and believes his lighter, short hair makes him look like a pansy.
