Would you use "pieces" or not? A lot of people (including girls) found the use of"pieces" not very likely. But I needed an American advice.........

@It'saboutEnglish Yes, I might use pieces, but I would prefer section or portion, or maybe strand--though again, there's an issue with strand in that it often refers to just a single hair. All of these are really context dependent.

@Katy , so do you find "section/portion" more natural?
In that sentence can "portion/section" be used as well: Section off two small portions/sections of hair in the front

@It'saboutEnglish Well, like I said, "section off a section" is awkward because of the duplication, but "Section off a small portion" would be perfectly fine to my ear
