I usually pontificate about “only” being too far from what it refers to (Look up “only” in the search box on the upper right). But here’s an example with “just.” Always put these words right next to what they refer to.
In case you don’t get the joke, she’s not talking about getting her hair done, but about how recently the hair was done, and she wants the hairdo to last longer than a week.
See? Word order makes a difference.
