So, today I had booked an appointment for a trim and the stylist could not believe how long my hair was (mid-thigh) because she hadn't seen me in two years. This was the longest it had ever been actually. So she said, "Would you cut enough to let me donate it to the Cancer Society?" And I was like, "Oh, I hadn't planned to go that short, maybe just my waist." And she told me she could cut it to the top of my butt and still have enough. So I said yes. Low and behold, she cut it to exactly what she'd shown me in the mirror, which felt thicker and softer, then tidied up the ends and french braided it.
She was growing hers to donate too, but had not reached the right length yet, and apparently a woman donated an arm length ponytail recently. What surprised me was the lack of pressure and the willingness to not cut it shorter than necessary, even though I was OK with waist level.
It's a lot nicer now, but I'll have to cut it again sooner than I thought, since it isn't waist length. It shouldn't tangle as much, I shall be able to do more with it, and it won't be such a nuisance. I probably will grow it out again, but for a little while, I shall enjoy not sitting on it.
