A dear friend of mine is going bald, she is only 50. A few years ago, I decided to let my hair grow until it would be long enough so that I could have a wig made out of it, and I would give it to her as a present. My hair is currently so long, it comes below the back pockets of my jeans. A couple of months ago, I started looking into a place that would cut my hair and turn it into a wig. They sent me instructions on how to cut it and how to store it. At first, my friend was very excited about it. She'd look at my hair and say "Hey, 'my' hair looks beautiful today. However, when I was ready to cut it, she began to feel guilty about taking it (the wig - making place told me this might happen). I'm now stuck with hair that's way too long, and still trying to convince her that I don't mind giving it to her. I'm actually really looking forward to that haircut. Haven't had one in years, other than to trim the ends.
