But on the flip side it's your hair and you can choose what you want to do with it. I'm currently growing mine out. Just cause it's easier with what's going on with my dad to grow it out instead of having to find somebody to take me in and get it cut. But now I'm trying to decide if I want to grow it out for charity or go ahead and get some purple highlights in my hair. Or if I even want to go all over purple.
