Applies to guys as well as ladies. Getting your head lined up just means that they making the edge of your hair not look all scraggly and messed up looking. In some parts, they call it a shape up. A lining is included by default in a haircut, but some folks ask for it separately if they're growing out their hair, got their hair braided, or just have somewhere to be and want to look fresh and clean cut.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
