If the hair is long enough, yes. Some Postulants grow their hair out to be able to donate it at entrance.

It depends on the order. At entrance, they normally cut the ponytail off, as seen in that picture. After that, the sister usually cuts her hair herself. So it could be at various lengths, I know that some people with really thick hair just cut mostly everything off, but leave the front part that shows under the veil. No one can see it so it doesn't really matter.

I remember a friend who was with the Daughters of Mary of the Immaculate Conception ( [url="http://www.crossfire.org/daughtersofmary/frameset.htm"]http://www.crossfire.org/daughtersofmary/frameset.htm[/url] ), she made a little comic of having the hair cut and it she had a sister shaving a "M" at the nape for Mother Mary, I can't remember if I ever asked if they really did that or not.

"Toca de assis" is a Catholic Sisterhood, and Brotherhood,founded in Brazil.The group try to live under St.Francis of Assisi model,serving the poor.It's formed by non-clerical religious, most of them young people,also called "Children of Holy Sacrament".
There are also laymen that live under this charism without to aim religious life.

Some of my favorite Domican Nuns at the Monastery of the Blessed Sacrament in Farmington Hills, MI :)

I have become good friends with the three extern Sisters at this monastery. They are a truly holy and loving group and they have perpetual adoration! :saint:

Sorry if I'm a year late.. anyway im so happy to find pictures about these capuchin nuns. We live near the Capuchin Nuns in Lipa, Philippines. They do sewing inside, they run a giftshop and I love their voices when they sing!

Here are some that I just found: The captions are in very bad English but have a little information. At Citta di Castello. I'm 98% certain that these are the [i]enclosed Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate [/i], not [i]Poor Clares[/i] of the Immaculate so don't be misled by the tag that says 'Clarisse.'

There are a lot of neat pictures, kneeling for breakfast, prayers, playing volleyball.

[url="http://www.granangular.net/report_categ.asp?id_thm=5&ths=thm&id_ths_ou=&id_act=&page=4"]Scroll down to "A Mystic Life"[/url]

I don't know if the page will always be at that location but the number of the group of pictures seems to be "Gr0196" or "Photos: Ropi/GRANANGULAR."
