I wonder if those of us with real long hair can get together and send a note to Maury telling him we like our hair and will NOT cut it. Period. Then tell him we'll be happy to come on his show and prove it.
I'd do it! I'm sure Hair Religion would do it. I'm telling you upfront right now that there is NO WAY I'm cutting my hair. I'll also be happy to discuss Locks Of Love, and address the issues of how they blatantly try to shame people into cutting their hair and manipulate the truth in saying your hair will go to "a nine year old cancer victim", when the truth is it likely will not!
I'd be more than happy to face Maury, people from LOL, etc. It's time for them to get a dose of reality!
By the time we leave, they'll have a new slogan at Maury....
Long hair brutality
Has become a reality!
I'd do it too, but I don't know about the TV thing...I have stage fright ^_^; But I think I could get over it if it meant Locks of Love would stop their corrupted practices. I doubt they've had anything like that before! But what do you mean by real long hair? Mine is about 6 inches or so from my waist.

I don't know, I swore I'd never get caught dead on one of those kind of shows.
The forum would probably be a poor one to express ourselves in with a host and entire audience jeering at us. I think that we would have about as much of an effect on them as I've had on certain people who have been opposed to my views on this board...and here I've been able to go into lengthy detail. They would, of course, try to make us out to be monsters with no compassion, etc.
I think that what some of us are hoping for may be a debate but I guarantee that we won't get one.
Letters are always good but I fear will they will have no effect either as the ratings are the only thing that matters to a big time TV show like that.
Then again it just might work and be kinda fun at the same time!
It would be helpful to have something else ready that could be promoted along with the visit, such as a book on hair, a website, an event, etc. that people could follow up with to accompany the alternate viewpoint that they heard on the show.
I'd probably do it!
