Why is your hair so long?
Here at JustBats.com we have a culture unlike any other. While some workplaces may require men to have a clean cut head of hair, the management at JustBats.com realizes that such things have absolutely zero effect on job performance. Growing my hair out is something that I've always wanted to try, but have been cautious about due to the ridiculous social stigmas that our society can sometimes place on it. Luckily, I'm now in a place where that isn't something I need to worry about and I'm taking advantage of it. At first, I had no intention of letting it get as long as it is. As it grew, I realized that it didn't look bad and if I let it keep going, I would be able to donate it. That realization is now the main goal of this journey. Locks of Love is a charity organization that makes hairpieces for financially disadvantaged children suffering from disease that causes them to lose their hair. This is a great cause, and I hope to have it at my target length of 12 inches by this summer.
