The effect of the metaphor "If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head" describes the subject's hair as coarse and messy. The comparison of hair to "wires" suggests a lack of softness and beauty, emphasizing an unconventional and perhaps unidealized portrayal of the subject's appearance. Thus, the correct response is:
It describes the subject's hair as coarse and messy.
