I've been letting my hair grow out to give to locks of love. It needs to get a tad bit longer and then I can't finally donate. I wonder if they'll take color processed hair? I would think so. The long hair is starting to grow on me. I actually like it. I used to have my hair cut every two months, but now I do it once every six months. I've had people tell me that they prefer me with long hair. I'm okay with both long and short.
