I apologize, Dani. She is a tomboy but you're right, it really doesn't have anything to do with her hair and how she keeps it. Sorry about that.

I work with someone who grows her hair specifically so she can donate to LoL. Another coworker shaved her head with St Baldrick's in support of child cancer research.

Sounds just like her!

Interesting thread, as I was thinking of having my hair cut shorter and then someone I know with similar hair to mine appeared with it chopped off. It was enough of a shock to make me think about what I was doing, and I've decided to keep it long now.

You can console yourself with the thought that she is not here to decorate your world, or anyone else's

I also have a co-worker that does that; grows it to donate to LoL. I did it once, too, before coming here and finding out the truth about them. I told her a little bit about that, but she still wants to do it because it makes her feel good. Maybe recommend a different organization?

Heh, nothing to apologize for.

I was just being my gooberific, sarcastic self. I can never be anything but.

I didn't know the truth about them either - until I came here. Grrrrrr

It's a disappointment when someone whose hair you've admired suddenly chops it all off. What a shock! And to do it for something you don't much approve of makes it even sadder.

One of my singing friends did this not long ago and I was *so* astonished that I couldn't find the words to say "oh how nice"... I was just ... I think the word is "gobsmacked"?

well some people love short hair..
hmm years to grow to bsl? more like months.. but maybe its just me.. i went from shoulder to bsl in like 2 months.. and from shoulder to waist in 6 months... hmmm perhaps im just a freak like that..

anyway.. short hair is easier for some people.. it certainly was for me.. but my hair when short is truly wash and go with no conditioner or products.. again i have weird hair..

i do realize that after being on lhc that when those around you cut it can be shocking
