My youngest son is 13. He has curly dark blond hair. He asked if we would let him grow it out to donate. after about 6 months of trying to decide how I felt about it I decided to let it happen. He now has hair that is about 8 or 9 inches long. Our pastor actually likes his hair and all the curl he has and has made comments on it. So I finally made mention of why his hair is getting longer and hasn't been cut yet and he actually thought that was a good thing my son was doing.
He has started to complain about how it gets in the way some times but that was part of my plan too. Let him grow it and be annoyed by it and he will WANT it short from now on.
He has to have at least a 10 inch ponytail before they will cut it to donate, and yes they do stretch out the curl to measure it. THANK GOD, or we would be FOREVER waiting for it to get long enough.
I know that when we go back to Ohio to visit in July there are going to be a lot of people think we have done stepped off the deep end when they see him.
