Re: A hair experiment

I, too, cut my hair this year, a whopping 12 inches. It took me nearly two
years to grow it out enough so I could donate to Locks of Love. It really is
easier to take care of when it is shorter, but I'm going to do the Locks of
Love thing again, so two more years until the next haircut.
