Owner of the hair salon Eda Motchka said of Ramirez, “We love to see different things done on customers—different styles— and we meet very often and I always see her the same way.”

However, she was doing that for a purpose. Four feet of Rosa’s hair were donated to Locks of Love, a foundation that makes wigs for children whose hair has been lost due to cancer.

“I believe it could brighten the day of someone who is afflicted with a serious illness,” Ramirez remarked.

Seeing Rosa’s development is quite intriguing. Check out the video below to see it in action.
