I sure did! I grew it out to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. They use the hair to make wigs for women who experience hair loss from cancer treatments. A friend of mine had been diagnosed with breast cancer
What a great thing to do but so sad about your friend. My year of earrings was also for charity. I got people to sponsor it and donated the money to Guide Dogs for the Blind in memory of my Mum (who went blind before I was even born).
