Locked down for months and armed with a social license to experiment with their hair, people are now venturing from their home offices with untempered, long, flowing tresses and flocking back to salons and barbers.
Those in the know are donating their ponytails via the Sustainable Salons program, solving a recent dearth in donations.
The donated ponytails end up as medical wigs, benefiting children with cancer and alopecia.
