Rosa Ramirez, a woman from the United States, decided it was finally time for a change after 25 years without a haircut. Her hair had grown to 1.5 meters, so long that she occasionally walked on it. Despite her husband’s attempts to persuade her to cut it, Rosa remained proud of her long locks.

Finally, with the support of her friends, Rosa went to the hairdresser and had her hair cut to her shoulders. Eda Motchka, the owner of the hair salon, told WXYZ-TV Detroit, “We love to see different things done on customers — different styles — and we meet very often and I always see her the same way.”

Rosa had a special reason for the drastic change. She donated 4 feet of her hair to Locks of Love, a nonprofit that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair to cancer. “I think it would make somebody’s day who’s suffering from a bad disease, it will make their day a little brighter,” Rosa said.
