Wanda New Gets her Hair Cut
Wanda New of Kay’s Branch in Monterey, Kentucky gets her hair cut for Locks of Love on the Today Show.

You’ll have to sit through an ad and then Wanda’s footage is about the last two minutes or so of a six minute video — forward to minute 3:49.
Monterey is in Owen County, where I grew up. Wanda and I were in school together, though she’s about five years younger than I am. According Katie Couric, Wanda hadn’t had a haircut for 42 years.
[Update: Local coverage from the Owenton News-Herald.
A recent measurement shows that from the crown of her head to the tip of her hair is 57 inches.
“I debated cutting it when I turned 40 and then 40 came and went,” she said. “I considered it at 45, then 50. Now I’m 55.”
About 10 years ago, she had Glamour Shots done in anticipation of a cut. She also went to Nashville for a visit with Crystal Gayle. She wanted to see whose hair was longer. Gayle’s was — but not by much.
Since then, she said she’s been thinking about cutting her locks. Last week, a teller at a Frankfort bank, Lisa Mitchell, told her about the Today Show segment. She e-mailed them with the length of her hair. Her phone rang the next day.]
