Perhaps is not a popular person among some of us, but Colombian politician who was for several year kidnapped by FARC, has decided not cutting her hair. She explains why during an interview with Spanish newspaper "El Pais".
It is actually the last question of a long interview about politics. I tried to translate the best I could.
-Before we end, tell me, have you cut your hair yet?
-Talking about simbolism, HAIR IS A SYMBOL, a calendar. It is days of kidnapping, months, years. It is a way of remembering that others are still there, that I won't be forgotten, that the World won't be forgotten.
I think it is a lovely way of thinking.
Here is a pic when she was still kidnapped.

Nowadays, she always wears a crown braid.
