Dear,
Your longhair is very beautiful and awesome,
I cant stand the thought of having a scissor went
through that beautiful mane of yours... please no ...
Cry
I know some website offers longhair modeling
(if financial is the reason behind your need)
sure that will be much much better than cut and
sell your hair,
try to see ltress.com , hairwearesecrets.com ,
longhair.org and see what may comes up to you
my best wish of luck for you and your mom,
longhair is very precious gift ...
cheers
