My middle DD just did this last month and my oldest did it last summer. I so miss their long hair(past their toshs) but so proud of them. Everyone does it in my family and my youngest is waiting for hers to grow a little more so she can.
My manager at work did that a couple weeks ago when he got a promotion. He had long georgous black hair and chopped it off to get a promotion.. He looks like a 12 year old now
