Hello, I am 21 and I have been growing out my hair for 3 years. I cut my hair when I found out I was pregnant w/ my 1st son: 07-03-05 (One day after I turned 18) I have been pregnant 2 times since then and my grows 2 times as fast when I am pregnant, I guess it’s because my hormone levels are through the ROOF!! LoL And now that my hair is down past my butt and when I don’t have my hair up, I sit on my hair when I want to sit on a chair. :/ I have 3 boys and they never leave my hair alone, it’s like they know I am tender headed! This is something I have been wanting to do for a while, my husband will hate me for it because he has always loved my long hair, but I cannot be selfish anymore, especially because I can’t take care of it like I should!.. I think that anybody that battles a life threatening experience and does not want to be bald should have the choices like everybody else. :)
