My mum always sent me to the hairdresser and my hair has been shoulder length for most of my teens, even shorter as a kid. After leaving for university I haven't had any major haircuts for around 5 years and my hair is now 28 inches. It was starting to become quite troublesome to maintain and I figured I may as well go out and cut a lot to charity! 

My hair is approximately 28 inches and I plan to cut around 14 inches of hair. If you think about it. Walking without any hair would leave your scalp nippy (if you're based in the UK) and would take a tool to your self esteem. It must be an awful situation to see your hair fall out at a young age (or any age).
