    I finally cut my hair off completely. After a little over 3 years of growing my hair it's time to cut it off. It's to help raise money for my girlfriends mom to be able to participate in a 3 day walk this summer and who is a breast cancer survivor of 8 years and counting. :tu:

    Ill also be donating it to the locks of love.Here is a picture from senior prom so it's longer now since I just finished my freshman year of college but you get the idea. I'll have before and after pictures probably later today so you guys can see. What it really looked like.

    Dude looks tough! Actually IMO better than the long locks. Again kudos on the donation bro! Get some sun on that dome before the G2G so you don't burn. Lol

    Well done! My wife has donated to LOL 3 times. She's currently growing it out again. Should be good to go by the end of the summer :tu:

    Me? I can't stand my hair longer than about 1/4" :busted:

    Pretty cool man, I'm like fitz tho there's no way I could let mine grow out too much. Its pretty short year round, good job tho I imagine it feels pretty weird without anything now.

    Thanks man. I should be good to by the shoot. I got hats I can wear though.
    sweet I don't think I will let it get that long again. It was a 14 inch section of hair that got cut

    It feels really weird lol even the lightest breeze I feel.

    If its any comfort I cut off about 3 ft of dreadlocks about 3 years ago. I still have the pony tail. It certainly takes some getting used to at first. Now I can't stand my hair getting more than about 1/4 in. I buzz my dome bout every 2 weeks lol. But still rock the long beard
