Is it selfish if don't donate hair to locks of love?

My mom has very long hair down almost to her knee.Her hair is brown,thick ,healthy,no split end,no layer.She make her hair into a

huge bun with a hairnet every day.

Yesterday in the shopping mall,my mom's bun was a little loose.And she went to the Ladies' room and release her hair ,brushed it ,in order to make a tidy bun again.A young lady saw her hair and told my mom she should cut her hair short and donate it to locks of love,bun with hairnet is a style for old granny.My mom said "no,i love my hair."the lady said my mom was selfish that made my mom unhappy the whole day.

My mom is 46 years old.If she cut her hair,she would have no chance to grow her hair that long in her whole life.She wants to keep it long when it turn to grey.So i want to ask ,should i mom cut her hair and donate it.Is it selfish if don't donate hair to locks of love?

I think that your mom has the right not to give away her hair bec. she want it to be that way. If she would give away her hair to locks of love out of guilt of being called selfish then she is not giving it out of love then but will be forced to do so .She would otherwise feel sadder and resent giving her hair away bec. it was her own will not to give it. I think it was quite rude to comment and judge your mom that way. The lady should have respected her opinion. And giving away your hair is not the only way to show love and generosity to cancer victims, there a lot of ways to do it and your own way,giving from the bottom of your heart and not bec. you were told so,dictated and threatened by somebody else. Your mom can decide anytime if she wants to sport a medium/shorter length of hair and donate some of her beautiful locks to that organization but not bec.she wants to pleased that girl but bec. she wants to help and find fulfillment and joy sharing with those who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy.

Ridiculous. She should so what she wants, and I can't believe that not only did she let the girl get away with that and not tell her off, but she (and you) actually think the girl might have a point, since she was all sad and now you are asking this question.

That's even more ridiculous.

So then overweight people should be looked at with hatred for their selfishness because they ate all that food and didn't give some to hungry people?

and theres girls with cancer right now who dont have any hair and they are just wishing that someone would donate hair so they could have some hair.

This is not selfish at all it's her hair and her choice.

I'm personally growing my hair really long and once I grow bored of it I'm donating it but that's my choice.

Maybe your mum should consider it when she feels ready for a cut.
