It's more interesting than that: It's been established in the comic that Synthetics' hair does not 'grow'. You have to soak it in a polymer which, as it dries, lengthens the 'hair' strands. So, to 'grow' her hair, Bubbles would have had to purchase materials and set aside some time to work on it.
For whose benefit I wonder? Did Faye mention that she liked Dora's longer hair and Bubbles felt bound to respond?

Faye: Bubbles, let's get you a bed.
Bubbles: It's okay. I don't need a bed like you do.
Faye: Come on. Why not?
Bubbles: Really, it's okay. I don't need a bed.
Faye. Sigh...

It might be that they can't afford another bed at the moment, as they're only really scraping rent and food costs from Union Robotics (though Melon's intervention appears to have helped somewhat!)

FWIW, I'd like for a human/AI love story (even if told as a lesson from history) where the human fell in love with a totally disembodied AI simply because he or she was kind, empathetic and shared a lot of the human's interests. It is only later that the AI used first a holo-avatar and then later an anthromimetic chassis and the relationship became physical (and ultimately ended with marriage and the adoption of children).

Mass Effect 2 & 3, EDI and Joker. EDI is the artificial intelligence that runs their ship and Joker is the pilot. At first she's always angry at him because he's reckless and disorderly, he hates her because she's critical about everything he does and he hates someone always looking over his shoulder. Eventually it turns into grudging admiration and respect then love and EDI winds up with a very female humanoid body.

I would think wrecklessness would be a good thing in a pilot. :-)

--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 07 Feb 2018, 18:28 ---Here's some more poetry that Bubbles might relate to.
but my tongue is frozen in silence;
instantly a delicate flame runs beneath my skin;
with my eyes I see nothing;
my ears make a whirring noise.
A cold sweat covers me,
trembling seizes my body,
and I am greener than grass.
Lacking but little of death do I seem.

Sappho. Thank you. I had never given those verses proper attention.
Only fragments of her work remain, and the history of Western love poetry can be read as a series of attempts to reconstruct them.
