So, I just took the plunge, cut my hair ten inches, and now look like my imaginary lesbian sister. 
Anyone else done this or thinking about doing it?

Anyone else done this or thinking about doing it? | Did you cut it out of anger, a bet or change of style? |

| | | | About 12 years ago I donated 'about a yard' of braided ponytail to wigs for kids. I think karma will repay one day in the form of my fingers magically playing "Teen Town" all on their own. |

|  | Gettin' medieval on yo' bass... | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: new hampshire | | | One of my daughters did this a few years ago. A couple of years ago we did St. Baldrick's where people shave their heads to support research for children's cancer. My wife hit two birds with one stone by having the St. Baldrick's people save her hair for Locks of Love (St. Baldrick's just holds shavings for the awareness-raising and takes pledges). Both great programs for a good cause.

Had it all the way down his back and cut it all of to a crew cut twice now, and he's going to do it again pretty soon. I would, except my hair doesn't so much get long as is does thick, so it gets mega bushy. Maybe in the future though, cause it is a really cool thing to do.

|  | <-- That guy looks like me, but old. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Arlington TX | | | A couple of years back ('04? '05?) I had a patient whose family had a mariachi band. My patient and her sister played violin in the family band. They each had hair past their waists. When my patient developed leukemia, she and her sister cut their hair to donate. She cut hers all the way to boot camp short. And her sister cut hers to jaw length.
The reason that story becomes important is that she got her own hair back in her wig. The staff on the floor said she is the only one they've ever heard of getting her own hair back.
