In August 2020, Antonella (12), who lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, vowed to cut her long hair only when she could resume in-person classes at school, which had been suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Antonella said she was offering up her most precious treasure in exchange for her school life back. Her hair was her identity. She felt she lost her identity without school, and said: “When I finally go back to school they will know I’m a different person, I feel like a different person.”

In March 2020, the Argentine government had closed schools across the country in a move to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Around 10.5 million young students experienced disruptions to their education. Antonella’s school did not fully reopen until September 2021. She cut her hair on 25 September 2021, on the weekend before she returned to classes.
