it is not as traumatic (for me, anyway) as one might think. i have grown, cut off, & donated 5 ponytails to "Locks for Love", the group that makes (and donates free of charge, i was told) wigs for seriously ill children. think chemotherapy etc. last one was 23", one before a tad shorter. my hair grows like i am constantly exposed to some kind of fertilizer or something...

Sure did, I donated it to Locks of Love
Its really not a big deal.I work outside most of the year,so I lop it all off when the weather breaks in the spring and dont get it cut for a year.Keeps me warm in the winter,and the barbershop crewcut freaks everyone out.
yeah it totally sucked 
i cut mine off it 2005

Cut mine off 2 years ago had locks for 5 years, a black man with locks doesn't work in a lot of places in this society it's a shame people always judge before getting to know a person. Been sporting short hair since then an I get less people crossing the street with me walking on the same side.
white dudes with long hair get a similar stigma bro, trust me! after i cut my hair, the number of times i got pulled over/asked to consent to search dropped pretty much to zero

I cut my hair off about 2 weeks ago. When I went to the hair dresser and said I want a number 1 buzz(1/4") she was shocked.. She asked me a few times if I was sure before she took the 1st swipe... Couldn't be any happier without the hair.

I've had nightmares about my hair being cut off.
...long hair? traumatizing?
It was a new start,, and hair soon grows back,, whereas fallen egos dont!
Still as Ital, Hippie, and Wild-Chile,, as ever we was before we guess,, just without the locks

Going on round 2 of donating to locks of love. My locks will get the chop before summer kicks in hardcore. I work outside, so that just makes for a hot and sticky time if I leave it long.
I should have a few ponytails to donate near 14 in. long
