Ok... time to give a plug to charity, with a giveaway included...
First, a background- I haven't cut my hair since June 20... yes, over 3 months. For those of you that saw me at Baltimore, I have more hair... MUCH more hair! The front-most curl on my head is currently (as in, I measured it 5 seconds ago) 3.25" long... when I make it puffy, I look like someone out of the 1970s (here come the sideburns
... no, seriously! 
)
Anyway, I'm doing this for a chairty called Locks of Love... basically, someone (has to be a youth) grows their hair to a certain length (6"+ for males, 10"+ for females)... when it is cut, the hair is turned into a wig for a child who cannot afford one and is losing their hair, most often because of cancer...
Now the giveaway... you guess how long that curl will be on Halloween... that is the day I plan to puff up my hair for school for the first time (normally, I wash it in the morning, so it just plops on my head... I'm getting the 'fro on the 31st)... ground to the nearest eighth of an inch. I'll give something to the winner... I'll have to sit on that, though
.
Also, if you know a youngin who has long hair, or would be interested in growing some hair, do encourage them to donate it... hey... you feel good, and some places give a free haircut for donors!

grow a mullet (I heard mullets are coming back
good cause BTW
My guess is by Halloween it'll be 3.8624 inches
Numish- I think fair market if the hair is unusable (too short, not from a young enough head) is a few thousand dollars... makes me feel rich on top
Jeremy
4.10 inches long.
I just had my kids hair cut last night because it was getting too long (probably close to 2")...now it is barely there...I like it when he looks like a tough little army guy
btw...he is 19months old....so, he has no say in when his hair gets cut...muhahahhahah
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
My guess is 5.15" by Halloween.

Hey Jeremy

And as rich as you are,

to be young at heart!
Tassa nailed it 100%- my frontmost curl is exactly 4.25" long. PM me your addy and I'll find something to send you
Thanks for playing, all!

Great cause. However, you may want to visit the link you're giving out...
•You said:...basically, someone (has to be a youth) grows their hair to a certain length...
From the website: "We need hair from men and women, young and old, all colors, and all races"
So, everyone can donate to this cause
•Also, you said:the hair is turned into a wig for a child who cannot afford one and is losing their hair, most often because of cancer...
From the website: "Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure."
If you follow the link provided to the website, you'll see that this is a disease in which the body's immune system attacks it's own hair follicles, and is not related to cancer.
Anyway, like I said great cause Jeremy, and I would donate my hair but it would take years to grow it to the appropriate length, as I seem to be losing it myself!
