I am endlessly fascinated by regional differences in languages. The one that I heard at home, but not once I'd moved to Minnesota was the construction "Up to the..." as in, "I just need to go up to the grocery store for something."

I have not heard "Your hair needs washed" I've heard, "Your hair needs a washing" but perhaps that's more standard construction.
