Yes, Katerei has agreed to be our "test subject" to answer the question "how long can head hair grow?" She has willingly volunteered to not cut her hair for the next 40 years and to post yearly pictures and statistical results so we can track her progress.
Check back in a year for more information regarding this hair-raising experience! And good luck Katerei!

Inflation. 
Actually, we recieved reports of people that had grown hair for 35 years, so 20 years wasn't long enough to yield results...actually, 40 isn't much better. How does 60 sound?

Yes, a very good idea. This will prove or disprove my theory.

How about a hair dryer, you know how hard it'd be to dry all that.
Or maybe an extra post point! I'd bet one of those would really encourage Kat to grow long hair. The good thing about an extra post point would be....
Well, post another post kat, an you'll discover the amazing post points!

When I first read it it looked like "cache, show her your prize" which can be interpreted many ways. Frightening.

NEWS FLASH! Kat is found -NOT- to be a cat! But, wait, Kat is Kat, but not cat…so Kat's deceased cat's kittens were Kat's cats cats. Argh, my mind! But, Kat is not a cat, -except-
she's Kat. Hrm, since cat's shed, can this work ?
