Should I Grow My Hair Out?

A question as old as time, and while the answer is yes, we humbly submit it’s the wrong question to be asking. The question is not…should I grow my hair out? 

The real question is…WHY should I grow my hair out? 

First, to be fair, let’s consider the myriad reasons you should not grow your hair out:

Your Boss Won't Let You Grow Long Hair | Your girlfriend hates your long hair
Your family disapproves your long hair | Your school disapproves of your long hair
Awkward stage hair is an issue | Long hair problems is concerning to you

...and more. 

While a case can be made for each, and while friends, family and co-workers might dissuade you, there is a counter to every cajoling, a parry for every punch, a yin for every yang, a tik for every tok.

Every objection is but a surmountable challenge when you ask the right question.

Now is your time to grow out your long hair

The list goes on, but there is one indisputable reason you should grow your hair out… 

You should grow your hair out so you can donate it to a little girl who can’t grow her own hair. 

That’s what we do. And that’s what you should do. 

Specifically we donate at The Great Cut, and we hope you join us, but you can donate your hair any time it’s long enough. 

When you donate, we recommend you donate your hair to Children With Hair Loss, the only organization that provides quality, custom hair replacements to children with medically-related hair loss at zero cost to the families.

It’s been five years and four months already since I started my long hair journey. It’s still growing, and it hasn’t reached terminal length yet. Please wish me luck 🤞🏽🙏🏽

I was in a toxic relationship for 10 years. My significant other at the time was into bald heads, so she “talked me into” shaving my head on a weekly basis. I am now over 4 years out of that mess and although, the last time my kids saw me is with a bald head. The length of my hair is a reminder of how long it’s been since I’ve seen them.

Starting at 55 years old I let my hair grow out and am now 68. The hair looks great, my wife loves it long and braids it every day for me. My 16 year old self whose otherwise cool and loved dad would not let me grow it out does a little fist pump YES! I also have saved a small fortune in haircut money not spent.
