Explanation

This word uses 's on'yomi reading はつ, but it changes to ぱつ due to the sound before it. You haven't learned this reading yet, so here's a mnemonic to help you remember it:

Admiring your beautiful blond hair, someone comes along and pats (ぱつ) it. Actually, this is pretty normal for you — some random stranger pats your hair almost every day. It's just the price you pay for those gorgeous golden locks.
