Blagovolina stated instead of handle the problem for a whole Russian winter season, Griner chose to slice everything off.

“It’s very cold in there and every time she washed her hair she got cold and would get a chill,” Blagovolina stated. “She should have waited until New Year’s Day.”

Griner had actually put on long hair for several years … seldom ever letting the circulation get much shorter than shoulder-length.
