Although it’s becoming more common for boys to have long hair and girls to have short, some people still find it hard to accept.
Phoebe Kannisto lives in New York and has a large family. She has a 10-year-old son, eight-year twin boys, five-year-old triplet boys, and a two-year-old daughter.
Anytime seven siblings go out together in public, you know they’re going to turn heads. But when all the boys also have long hair, they can expect some extra attention.
What strangers don’t know about the boys is that they’ve chosen to grow out their hair for a special reason.
It all began when a family friend died of cancer. The three eldest brothers who were close in age to their lost friend and wanted to do something to help other children who were battling cancer.
The three oldest brothers started growing out their hair out two years ago so they could donate it to the non-profit organization “Children With Hair Loss.”
