Those booms are her walking around

A quarter...

forever grinning at the luck
that...

My follicles falling to my sorrow,
Ten thousand dollars to my surgeon,
Some people think I might be splurgin', 
But I can't wait for my new hair to grow....

Put these facts together
And solve the crime at hand
If I collect the clues,
Will you piece the puzzle?
