Did you ever cut Barbie's hair?

"I did cut my Barbies hair. I always regretted it afterwards because Barbie hair does not grow back (believe it or not!). I think that those dolls ended up being played with less unfortunately. Looking back on it, I should have embraced those dolls as my own creation and an extension of my own individuality BUT as a little kid I'm sure I just thought, 'Oh shoot now Barbie isn't as pretty and her hair is all spiky, waaaah!'"
