I would also not bring hair dye to the ship, so start planning on get close to natural colour again or changing to a colour thatwont show at the roots so bad......the hair dye chemicals will make a mess of the sewage system and kill all the wee beasties, this will make you unpopular :-)
As for long hair, it dosent need to be too pinned down, remember you will have to wear hard hat on occasions and I can imagine too many hair grips will be pain full under a hard hat, while I don't think you need to go mad I would seriously think about a slightly shorter hair cut, one that will last and keep some sort of style while it grows out for 4 months, most seven pointynstar hair dressers are of the "short back and slap" variety.
