Donating hair to those in need: Locks of Love, Wigs for Kids, Beautiful Lengths

Long Hair Not Just a Fashion Statement
When I was a young child, my father was stationed in India as attaché to the American Embassy. My hair care was turned over to our resident ayah who began to braid my hair.

As soon as I cut it, I began to grow it out again, and I have kept it long since then.
