does cutting 12 inches off of my red hair count as doing something with it? My dd and I both did 12 inches for wigs for kids. . .so I went from a long haired red head to a short and sassy red head. . .and although my hair was thick and long there was no appriciable weight loss . . .this is my second time doing this. . .I did it 4 yrs ago too. . .my hair grows fast. redawn
