My son has been growing his hair out forever! Yesterday He finally met his goal and got 16 inches cut off. He donated it to lockes of love! What a trooper! He now tells me mom I feel ugly with out my hair but it sure was worth it! He is now growing it out for another round! Have any of you ever done this?1 person likes this

Good for his good deed. Sometimes people with low self esteem use their hair to hide behind, is this why he feels ugly? They use their hair as a distraction.

My daughter donated hers a few years back. I always keep mine in a shorter style. Hers was down to her butt, now she keeps it at shoulder length, she looks much better. I always told her she used it to hide behind, she sort of an introvert.

No he is not hiding behind it! He keeps it pulled back in a low ponytail when it is long like that! He just feels ugly because it has been long since he was nine years old! Now he runs his fingers though it and their is no hair there. It will take him sometime to get use to it!1 person likes this

I do this every couple of years. I grow my hair out and donate it. They can get 2 wigs worth out of my hair because it is so thick. I do all I can for the fight against cancer. Even if it is just giving hair.

Two years ago my hair was down to my waiste line, and I decided to chop it all off. They told me they would donate it to locks of love, although I'm not sure if they did or not.

That's cool how your son can do something that for a good cause.
It's understandable how he feels the way he does for he is used to it being long and got quite a bit chopped. He's growing it out again though he should be happy.
Befor he know's it it'll be just as long but he wants to keep donateing it to lockes of love every time? Out of curiosity what color is his hair? I happen to like dirty blonde color or light brown colored hair. But I wish him the best of luck on him doing this for how ever long he decieds to do it Take care. :)
