My daughter was born with a lock of very long hair on the back of her head. To me, it signaled that I should not cut her hair. We let it grow for almost 13 years. Never even a trim. She wore it in a long braid that came down to her ankles after 12 years. (She was very short, too, so that made the braid look longer). When she finally wanted to cut it, just shy of 13 years, the newspaper sent a features reporter to the hair salon who took photos and wrote a little story for the paper entitled: “Modern Day Rapunzel Sheds Her Locks”. (She saved the braid…she’s now in her mid-30s and has very short hair! LOL).
