I used to have uber long hair too, until I started donating it to locks of love or pantene luxurious lengths. My hair is straight and dark, uncolored and unpermed,and grows fast. the first time I did it, I donated thirty inches, Last time was Christmas, I donated seventeen. The cut I had was a posh spice ish kinda really short in the back, longer around my chin, and it is growing in nicely. Other than that I have the same old haircut, just two years or so between each donation.
nothing special about me I can think of, other than the large hairy wart on my nose (just kidding)
