This was just beginning to happen , but I had no awareness of it as yet , and had chopped my hair off in the seventh grade * after * a very - Brady - perm ( I KNOW ) left it soul - glo - quality - gerry - curled . So was growing out a perm and it was still in a fairly awkward period of re - growth . I did n't really have an arsenal of managing the largess of my locks , yet , because of this new precedent of curliness taking place , and , in fact , developed it only as a result of the following event . Amy began picking at my hair , and I continued to quietly complain , saying no , do n't , stop it , but quietly .

Question: Why is the narrator 's hair getting so long ?
Answer: They are growing it so Amy can style it .They are growing it for a perm .They are unable to afford a haircut .None of the above choices .
