I haven't cut it (trimmed yes, but not CUT cut) for over 10 years, and it's really long; past my behind. People see it as an inconvenience, especially since my profession demands that I put it up high and tight, and it can really strain my head sometimes. But I find that it really symbolizes who I am, if that makes sense, and if I were to chop it all off and look into the mirror, I would see a stranger. So I put up with the remarks about how I must be Amish or I'm a terrible person because I'm growing it out for me and not to harvest for wigs. Because at the end of the day, when the work clothes are gone, I can look in the mirror and see the real me. I think one of my favorite singers put it best: 'I'm the spirit of my hair, it's the glory that I bear.'
