8 Inches

For all of Adeline's life, she has had long hair.  Her hair is fantastic.  Thick and wavy.  She couldn't care less.  She HATES having it combed, braided or put back in anything more than just one ponytail.  Each morning, she fights and complains when I comb her hair.  After seven years of long and beautiful hair, we chopped it.
