The Coolidge Brothers started growing their hair in 2014, in order to donate their hair to a charity that provides wigs for children with cancer. When their hair started getting long, it was a good learning experience for them. Children teased them, and people stared, especially when they went into the men's bathroom. But the brothers didn't let it phase them. It was a great learning experience for them. They became more comfortable and confident in their identities, and they learned to embrace the opportunity to have a unique appearance.
In 2018, the brothers' hair was long enough to be cut and donated. Each of them handled their haircut differently.
"Taiwan offers many surprises, and going to the barber shop provided one of the most pleasant ones. I needed to get a haircut, because it my hair was too long and hot. And, I wanted to donate my hair to a charity that provides wigs to children with cancer. (See my haircut video here.)
After the haircut, I was told I should ask for a hair wash. I agreed, and I didn't realize the hair wash came with a 15-minute scalp and neck massage. The hairdresser made me feel spoiled and relaxed. The service came with shampoo, massage, rinse and dry.
The relaxing experience lasts about 15 minutes and it costs USD $4.50 (NT150). If you are happy with the service, they will appreciate a small tip, even though it is not expected."
