16-year-old Roxy from Stafford, Virginia, has never had a haircut before in her life, ever. Yes, you read that right. As you can imagine, her hair unbelievably long, and in the video below, she documents her first haircut ever. Roxy is about to turn 17 in a few months, and she will also be entering college soon. Sheโs decided that itโs time for a change, given the upcoming milestone in her life.
Roxy is both excited and nervous about the experience. She plans to donate her hair to help others. A hair stylist named Danilo takes out a few scissors and goes to work. He cuts the majority of her long hair off, and needless to say, itโs the longest locks that have ever been donated before. When I saw Roxy hold the locks next to her, I was stunned. They reach all the way down to her legs!

Man collects pennies for 45 yrs leaving bank tellers at a loss for words when he arrives to cash in
Over the course of 45 years he never accepted a penny from anyone. Not family, friends, no one but he only collected oneโs he managed to get himself.

Weโve all collected something at one point or another in our lives.
If you collected all the pennies you could find for an entire month, how many do you think youโd have?
What about if you collected pennies for an entire year?
Now, consider how much money you would have if you collected pennies for 45 years.

This man collected pennies for 45 years and blew his bank tellers away when he brought them in.
Anders said that he began seeing pennies as a reminder to stop and say a prayer.

โIf I would see a penny when Iโm gassing up, on the ground, or in a store, it would be a reminder to stop right there and say a prayer,โ Anders said to ABC News. โI never failed to do that. Thatโs why they had so much value to me.โ
At no point during all of his penny-collecting did Anders accept coins as a gift from anyone else.

โBut I never allowed anyone, not even my wife nor children, to give me pennies without being compensated,โ he continued. โI wanted the inner satisfaction that God and I acquired this collection.โ
โI became convinced that spotting a lost or dropped penny was an additional God-given incentive reminding me to always be thankful. There have been days where I failed to pray and more often than not, a lost or dropped penny would show up to remind me.โ
Anders filled big water jugs with the coins he collected.
He said at one point his goal was to fill up 5 giant water jugs but once he had done that, he felt the urge to keep going.
He needed to go to the bank and turn them in or else heโd never do it.
At the time he finally went to the bank, he had filled 15 5-gallon jugs.
โI wanted to fill five five-gallon water jugs. That was the goal, but I couldnโt stop. โฆ If I hadnโt turned them in yesterday, I was not going to stop.โ
In addition to the intrinsic value Anders found in collecting the pennies, they also added up to have significant financial value.
After finding out his homeownerโs insurance policy wouldnโt cover his collection, he called the Origin Bank in Ruston, Louisiana, where he had been a customer for years.
Anders let them know he would be coming in with a large number of pennies.
They were happy to help but it was quite the undertaking.
โWe value his business, as we do all of our customers,โ said the bankโs Vice President Jennie Cole. โBut if we can help Anders with his endeavors, we are happy to do so.โ
